MAG 36 - Taken Ill
doodle 36/200; days left 64/110
ok so i know theres like a whole statement going on but haha spoider lighter goes brr this was surprisingly fun to draw tho
I am once again relistening to tma & screaming about the Web Lighter™️
MAG 14, “Piecemeal”:
“Five years ago, just before we’d been picked up by the police I’d borrowed his lighter. It was a battered old Zippo...After he turned on me in questioning, I didn’t feel much like returning it to the treacherous backstabber, so I held on to it. I hadn’t thought much of it, but here it was, still in the pocket of my jacket, all those years later. I handed it to Angela, and she gave me that look again, and told me that it would work just fine.”
Something which usually goes unnoticed? Which, when the time comes for it to be used, “works just fine” and in the process upends the life of the person who possessed it? Sound familiar? (Jon’s lighter is even described as “an old Zippo” when Tim first asks him about it in “Taken Ill”!)
“i’M suRe yOu kNow wHAt hEaT doeS tO CaDaveRs” bitch, I barely know what heat does to cadavers but it sure as fuck isn’t this!
"... It feels odd to consider the fact that you'll no longer exist someday. But you didn't exist for billions of years before your birth so it doesn't seem unreasonable to conclude that you will not exist afterwards in much the same way.
I try to see life as a pleasant holiday from non existence..."
TMA #36 Taken Ill
Statement of Nicole Baxter. Josh Baxter. George Baxter. Alenka Kozel. John Amherst.
“Strange thing, isn’t it, what you’re afraid of.”
Corpse - disturbing or disgusting? I do fear rot.
[soundscape begins when she mentions Ivy Meadows Care Home, then goes away]
Tingling, squirming fear. “I’m rambling, ignore the first page.”
My favorite care home. Lovely place. Old country home, modified to accommodate the care home.
Call that a resident had passed away.
Place was different. Faint odor, rancid. Marks on the wall. Greasy residue on the bell.
New director, John Amherst. Fly walks across his eye. “Who called you?”
Bertrand Miller was definitely dead. The smell. The rash. The flies.
Pain, even through the glove. Washed, and washed.
Uncle George took care of it. Josh got over it. I couldn’t let it go.
Nurse called... “come quickly, we’ve taken ill, we’ve passed away.”
Faded white transit van in the car park.
Unbearable smell.
Tap, tap, tap, at a window.
Other side of the glass, Alenka Kozel, covered with that leaking yellow rash. Opened her mouth, flies boiled out.
Old man pinning me to the ground. Not blemished. Young woman, tall and lean, deep scar over her right eye.
He: Knowledge being good defense here... She: Leaving quickly better.
Didn’t turn around even when I saw the smoke.
---
Care home was decommissioned a month before the first call.
Records are patchy. Only 7 transferred, of 29 residents. Most of the staff are missing, too.
John Amherst doesn’t seem to exist.
Nicole Baxter lost her left hand to a workplace accident.
The way she talked about fear - reminds me of Jane Prentiss.
Old man sounds like Trevor if he weren’t dead.
---
Tim - Delivery? Elias wants to know.
Lighter. Spiderweb design on the front.
And a table, went direct to artefact storage. Hypnotic design. Hole? Don’t know.
“Have to talk to Martin...”
