Day 65: It has been 65 days since that horrifying day. That poor man didn't know what was to happen. I didn't know either. When we started up the machine I should have stopped him. But he volunteered to test it. And we were both intoxicated, so neither of us were thinking correctly. After he disappeared I was in shock for several days. I felt terrible, so, 33 days after, I went in after him. What I discovered is beyond any previous discovery! I discovered an entirely new world! I brought a few scientific instruments with me, and I noted that, surprisingly, this world's time cycle is very sim
Day 60: That was weird. I've been expecting it, but not quite like that. It's hard to even explain it. We went into "the lab" and they did odd stuff to us. I don't even know what they did to us, but they did inject something into me. They didn't do much of anything to him, though. So far I haven't seen any effects of the inoculation.
Day 61: I was so shocked yesterday about "the lab" that I forgot to mention, Mr. Harlyn is here! He's just down the hall from me. I'm glad to know there's someone here that I can relate to.
Day 62: So. I have only seen four different people here, barring Harlyn. There was the old warden, and the new warden. The

Day 3: It has been given to me to record the events and happenings following the appearance of the strange creature. We have yet to figure out where he came from. We have attempted communication with it; however, it doesn't seem to understand even the simplest speech. It just appeared in this building three days ago. We had to place it in room 37 to prevent damage to itself, others, and the surrounding areas. It seemed that it was out of its mind. It calmed down the next day, after a deep rest. Although it did seem to be in severe pain for a while afterwards. I
Found written on various scraps of paper crammed in a crack in a wall room 37
Day 19: Still stuck in this room. Haven't had food or drink for several days. Don't know how much longer I can survive. Not entirely true that there was no food or drink. I can capture the various insects and rodents to sustain me. My warden sporadically feeds me. Sometimes days go by between meals. I managed to scrounge a nub of pencil from a rat's nest, and a piece of paper. I've been marking the days on the wall with a rock. The only way I can tell night from day is from a crack in the wall. Minute amounts of light filter through. Boredom is not a problem
Cast out by heaven,
Denied by Hell,
Rejected by all,
Here's where I fell.
Alone in the dark,
Companion of sorrow,
Acceptance will always
Escape from the morrow.
Beaten and bruised,
Bloody and battered,
I've been expelled
From all things that mattered.
Who can I trust
When all I hold dear
Has been ripped from my heart
And replaced by deep fear?
How can I believe
Your acceptance is real?
I've been so deceived
That pain's all I feel.
Come ease the pain!
If you can, please extinguish
The fires in my soul.
Remove all my anguish.
But do not touch
My tender heart.
You may cause it
To fall apart.
Accept me now,
The way I
I try to think of something deep, profound,
Like all the poets of the ages;
I let loose my mind, my thoughts unbound,
But nothing's written on these blank pages.
I attempt to write what's in my soul,
But all that's there, or so it seems,
Is an empty wasteland, there is no goal,
Just a series of opaque dreams.
In a massive struggle 'gainst my mind
Words spew forth from my pen's tip.
Indeed, a chain of words unwinds,
But in the end, it's just a gyp.
In resign I start once more
To attempt some form of lofty verse.
Impending failure seems in store
For any lines that I rehearse.
Instead, however, I succeed in finding
Some subject
This day did start off wretched,
Rainy as can be,
Today would be quite awful,
This I soon could see.
Unexpectedly there came down
A drop of golden honey.
In a cascade of radiant drops
The day became quite sunny.
As soon as I went out, however,
The sun hid by a cloud.
I was, indeed, disappointed,
At this cursed, thick, gray shroud.
Dejected, I went back in
To mourn the passing sol.
But then, the sun shone bright again,
The solid rays quite whole.
Surprised I went back out
To greet the warming sprite.
But again he played a trick on me;
And it was almost dark as night.
The clouds were really angry,
They poured their anger on
Feel the pain the numbness brings,
Hear the song the mute man sings,
Don't believe the truth of lies,
Do not curse unseeing eyes,
Feel the tender joys of sorrow,
You must redeem now just to harrow,
A light has been consumed by dark,
The longest journey will not embark,
You look behind to get ahead,
You'll be alive when you are dead,
Irreverence now shall stand in awe,
This, I say, shall be the Law.

In this room
there seems to be much confusion.
In this room
there is all too much delusion.
Terror strikes the mind,
and fear grips the heart.
In this room
it will tear you apart.
The icy grasp of death
comes far too close to life.
In this room
nothing exists but pain and strife.
Reality collides with falsehood.
Nothing and all is real.
In this room
your wounds never heal.
In this room
escape by any means.
In this room
deliverance is never as it seems.
Names are overrated.
Identities are fraud.
I do not need a title,
Else I wouldn't be so odd.
I don't need a title.
I'd rather be unique.
To be encompassed in a word
Is really rather bleak.
I'd rather be myself,
Be all who I can be,
Than be just who's my name
That isn't part of me.
Silent sentinel of endless night,
I thank you much for brief respite
From the troubles of the morn.
Bright purity of your silver light,
How I wish not to lose your sight
To the troubles of the morn.
Shocking orb of ethereal might,
Prithee to understand my plight
Of the troubles of the morn.
Ancient little star, assist my fight.
For pursues just behind your flight
Come the troubles of the morn.
