Man Heads Into The New year With
A Hole In His Skull
It’s New Year’s Eve; you are partying with friends to ring in the start of 2024 when suddenly some jerkwad throws a rock, hitting you on the head. Apparently noisemakers, sparklers, and fireworks just aren’t intense enough for some people. Either that, or someone has
completely misinterpreted the phrase “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve”.
Obviously getting smashed with a gibber to the cranium is going to smart a bit – and head wounds, even minor ones, tend to bleed… a lot. So it’s no surprise that you find your fingers red and wet after reaching up to the wound.
But head wounds typically look worse than they are, and you’re getting some attention from the babes around you now – girls who didn’t even notice you eight seconds ago. So… that’s awesome. Then a doctor who happened to be
partying near you at the time rushed in to help stop the bleeding – so immediately the girls find him attractive now as opposed to you. Well, it was a fun eight seconds while it lasted. Plus, I’m not sure if I would be all that trusting of a doctor who’s out partying on New Year’s Eve – especially if he’d been partaking in libations to help put him into a celebratory mood. But on the plus side, you just got treated by a doctor… for free! Score! After probably saying “take two aspirin and call me
in the morning,” the doctor moved on to more interesting and fun activities – probably those girls who were eyeing you eight seconds ago. You’re all patched up, you feel okay. A bit of a headache I assume – you did get hit by a rock after all – but you continue on to resume your own “good riddance to 2023” celebration heading into the new year.
“FREAK LOVE, GHOST LOVE, AND THE BLOODY STORY OF VALENTINE’S DAY”
Valentine’s Day bring up feelings of love and adoration, moments of affection, gifts to show one’s heartfelt emotions for another. But February 14th doesn’t always bring the warm and fuzzies. Sometimes the day brings tragedy, heartbreak, or just something of the bizarre and strange.
“THE LAST DRINK FOR BERNIE SHELTON” and More Scary True Stories!
On July 26, 1948, infamous Illinois gangster Bernie Shelton – by then acting leader of the Shelton Brothers gang – was shot to death at the Parkway Tavern, a roadhouse that he owned outside of Peoria. For years after, Bernie’s ghost was said to haunt the tavern, unable to move on after a lifetime of violence, murder, and
regret.
“LEOPOLD, LOEB, AND THE GHOST OF BOBBY FRANKS” and More Scary True Horror Stories!
Leopold and Loeb believed themselves to be more intelligent than everyone and planned to commit the perfect murder. But it would be their pride that brought them down in the end, and it would result in a ghost story!
If we’ve learned anything from pop culture, it’s that there are rules for time travel. This week’s story, “Security Plan” by Joseph Farrell introduces us to one inventor that probably should have spent a little more time watching time travel movies
for educational purposes.
