One chilly November evening, there was a family celebrating Thanksgiving in their barn, surrounded by a forest. Nicole, a 32 year old woman was looking for her younger sister, 26 year old Sierra, as their mother was working on setting up the table for their family's Thanksgiving dinner. After a few times of calling Sierra's name with no response, Nicole tried to call Sierra's phone. The phone started ringing about 10 feet away from her, in the grass. After walking over near the phone, Nicole noticed a red liquid and she froze as she realized that it had blood on it.
Nicole then noticed a path of blood from the phone's location heading towards the woods. It started out as spots but became very thick lines, as if the injuries became more severe right before heading into the forest. Her worry was overwhelming as she had no idea where her sister, her best friend, had gone.
After following the trail of blood for what felt like hours, Nicole came across a campsite. She had never been there so she was very confused to see a tent and setup for a meal. She looked around, attempting to find a person while hoping she would find her sister with fear growing every second she was there alone, as no one knew she was looking for her missing sister. She tries to yell for Sierra but is so fearful that no sound will come out, just an exhale.
Suddenly there is a sound of a man but Nicole couldn't tell what he was saying since she was just trying to hide. There was a smell that Nicole knew all too well from working in a kitchen, burning flesh. It didn't go away quickly like it normally would with a minor burn and someone screamed. It sounded a little familiar, like Sierra whenever she had major injuries. Nicole ran out from behind the bushes that she was behind only to see her sister being burned by a man while his wife placed typical Thanksgiving dishes on a picnic blanket in the middle of the campsite. As soon as the man saw Nicole, she was immediately tied up in the same manner as Sierra, in order to not escape and lit on fire. He had a disturbing smile as their lives were taken. He and his wife had a delicious feast later on that day.

I know this is fucked up. I don't know why I had the idea but it happens.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
