In contrast, Eridians had to discover fire in a lab since their atmosphere doesnt have O2 like ours. So they dont have, like, an entire culture normalizing fire.

> Odd? Ask Human friend Grace how humans got into space. Expecting some high tech solution since science humans clearly know more physics.

saw this on Facebook and thought "wow that's pretty helpful I'm going to share it on tumblr, i'll just crop off the thing about the tick that got left out" but then I read the comments and decided I had to share those too because same

this place doesn't feel like it should be actually real

the town is always growing physically, but it rots from the inside out at the same speed. Buildings are built, added onto the edge of town, then years later the business dies, and it is left abandoned. And the cycle repeats. The town is a canvas with spots of life separated by holes that are utterly, completely abandoned and dead.

It's old, in theory. But nothing here actually seems it. It's all new, we paved over the old three times over.

Oh, and the people. Everyone young knows the saying, "if you're smart, pretty, or strong you get out of this town the moment you're 18". The old-timers are all backwards, and on balance conservative, but the funny thing is that for most of 'em? If you know how to speak, they'll listen anyway.

It all feels... wrong.

And that's not even mentioning the really weird things.

The roads around here are like a labyrinth. Your intuition is screaming that you need to make a turn, or go a particular direction, at a handful of these intersections. But if you do, you'll end up somewhere you never even knew existed.

And if you're a person who believes in the supernatural, like we are- this town is full of ghosts.

Full of ghosts.

No matter where you are, every house is haunted to some extent. Sometimes it's just minor. Sometimes things just go missing, right?

But almost everyone has a few stories of hearing music in the middle of the night, of hearing voices in the woods, of ending up somewhere they shouldn't be.

And that's not mentioning the coyotes, either.

Of course, coyotes aren't supernatural. But the sounds we've heard in the middle of the night, from pieces of forest that were dense with Kudzu to the point of being impossible to see into, I'm not sure we can credit all of those to simple canids.

Oh my friend, this is fully sincere, you are correct, but we do realize just how... insane it sounds.

And this post doesn't even talk about the witch doctors.

Y'see, there are two doctors in this town that stand out. One vet, one GP.

The vet, she owns her own practice, runs it out of a building in the older part of town. Everyone knows that if your animal is sick, and no other vet can take care of them, she'll be able to.

She manages to revive animals that should've died, do surgeries that should take 2 hours in half that time, and makes diagnoses with intuition that are correct far more often than not.

The other one, the human one? Well, she's the only doctor anyone with chronic illness in the town trusts. She'll tell you what's wrong with you. She'll talk with you with the same confidence a tenured professor has, and she'll break down your every symptom, then point you to people who can actually help. The best doctor we've ever seen, the only doctor who rescued our mother from the jaws of death on 3-5 separate occasions.

The town shouldn't exist. Something about it is wrong.

Well, I don't live in this town any longer, but when I started listening to WTNV a few years ago, it did ring a little too close to home. Though, this town happens to be on the other side of the country, so it has a different vibe.

Y'know, this town has a few too many cemeteries, for the number of people it has. In town, there's 3 of them. One for veterans, two church graveyards. But those are far from the only ones -- there's another 4, 5, maybe even 6 graveyards in the county, just outside of city limits. All of them are attached to churches, if memory serves, but the thing is- most of them are full, or close to it. This is not a large town, mind. It's a town that has maybe 30,000 people. Maybe more if you count the county's population as well, but that still isn't much.

And yet, we have so, so many dead.
