I saw its darkness

Schrecken13
November 14, 2024
There is but one other major thing I've yet to touch on with regards to that epic walk I took last Sunday. This is the elephant in the room, or perhaps, the elephant on the bridge... It is always there, not just on this metal monster that spans bay, but on so many other bridges.…

“The Thing That Should Not Be?”

Schrecken13
November 10, 2024
Wow. Just what can I say about today? And where to start? From the time I set out for Annapolis to later in the afternoon was an incredible adventure. As I headed for the freeway, the dawn greeted me with a spectacular sunrise. Flaming magenta and orange clouds streaked across the sky, as the tan...

A dark umbra of dread seemingly hangs over it…

October 23, 2024
I've done some more thinking on what my client said yesterday, the story he told me about being struck with terror on a dark night's drive many years ago. A drive that left him permanently bound by the fear of certain elevated stretches of road for the remainder of his life. That late night drive...

Things you do not see until they are everywhere…

Schrecken13
September 26, 2024
Today I had a mildly disconcerting experience while picking up laundry at the laundromat in town this afternoon. As I have mentioned before, there has been a major proliferation of those creepy specialty license plates around here in the last couple of months. Yes, this is the one with an image o...

Strolling across the spine of the steel serpent

Schrecken13
September 6, 2024
Well, I finally did it – I registered to walk the Bay Bridge this fall. It was a bit more costly than I had expected, but if I am able to do it, it will be so worth it. This is something that I've always wanted to do, but just never really looked into it.…

The good, the bad and the gone forever

Schrecken13
August 11, 2024
This then begs the question as to why and how some of these monsters become such an integral part of their environment, in a human sense, for good or for bad. Even when speaking of the dark and sinister side of these structures, one cannot ignore the beneficial aspects of their existence. I would...

A familiar journey

Schrecken13
August 2, 2024
In the mean time, I am still going ahead with my plans to walk the length of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge this fall. Doing so isn't cheap, but neither was walking the New River Gorge Bridge. Such experiences are pretty rare to come by, and in the scheme of things even a seemingly high price…

Facing a monster

[caption id="attachment_6287815" align="alignnone" width="300"] bridge under deck structure[/caption] This was originally written on June the 10th of this year.  It's only been a day ago since I finally faced that magnificent rust-clad metal monster that rules the New River Gorge, and completed t...

Eyes Open

DaughterOfGod444
March 8, 2021
As a teenager I kept a diary and would write in it for hours. About my day as a high schooler, my friends and crushes, my dreams, what I wanted to do with my life, what my husband would be like... and then all the sudden life got really hard. I stopped writing as I…

Introduction

idiot_in_past_tense
August 19, 2020
I have never been a particularly open person, so putting my thoughts somewhere out in the world anonymously seems like a good idea.  And I had no preconceived ideas even before I signed up, so this first entry is definitely going to be somewhat disorganized. Looking at the current state of things...
