CH 2 – OMG, OMG

August 5, 2018

​

As Ryan found a place to park on the road close to Springer Mansion, he could not stop thinking about the obvious, that this had happened at exactly the same time and place one year earlier.

​

Justin was waiting for Ryan near some utility poles that stood in between OMG and one of his neighbors.  They performed some air quality tests and their quick samples found that there had been no error.  The toxicity levels had risen again and were seemingly tied to a nearby source. 

​

“Check that out bro…” Justin told Ryan while slowly pointing to the right.  Ryan turned his neck somewhat slowly and saw OMG walking in his front yard while wearing his robe.  OMG was very active, and noisy.  He was talking.  He was raising his voice, seemingly arguing with someone. Ryan and Justin… slowly… paced closer to OMG’s yard fearing they would be seen. 

​

Crrrunnch.

​

Crrrunnch.

​

Ryan and Justin’s work boots felt like lead as they crushed the spikey grass beneath them.  It’s not that they weren’t allowed to be there testing the air, but it just seemed so much easier to avoid OMG if they could.  As they got closer to his front yard, they could hear just enough to make out what OMG was saying.

 

“No! I told you mother! I told you!  You always plant the daises where the tulips should go.  You’re no help to me!”  OMG then briskly walked back into his mansion and slammed the door behim.

 

“Ryan, did you see that?”  Justin asked.

 

“Uh, yea, I did..” Ryan retorted back.   “Uh, his mothe-“

 

“Not the words bro, did you see what he was holding”

 

“No, what?” Ryan asked.

 

“An urn.”
