I was a lab assistant of sorts but now I'm trapped
(Part 2 of I was a Lab Assistant of Sorts) Hey guys, I’m back again with an update. It’s been a couple of days and the food is just about gone. Luckily, there’s a sink in the corner so I don’t have to worry about water. It tastes a little metaly but it hasn’t made me puke so I guess it’s fine. For some reason, there’s a bag of cat food in the corner so I guess if it comes down to it I can eat that.

Can Such Things Be?
Ambrose Bierce disappeared into the Mexican desert in 1914, falling off the face of the Earth, quite possibly following the trail of revolutionary Pancho Villa. The fate of Bierce has been variously rumored to be every bit as comic and grotesque, as ironic and macabre as the sorry fates of those he wrote about in such stories as "A Diagnosis of Death." One apocryphal tale has him being preserved in a giant bottle of formaldehyde by a rather tender-hearted group of South Pacific natives. We suppose there is some truth in that.

Short tale 'A Haunted House'
I read Virginia Woolf's short story A Haunted House. This story is extremely intriguing, however it is quite short. A Haunted House follows the narrative of a ghost couple residing in the place of a wedded couple (alive), the spooky pair are looking for something in which they lost. They search the house going to the garden, the loft, and opening and closing entryways to find what they have lost. The couple as of now residing in the house realize that there are two ghosts meandering about their home. The mere fact that the couple know there are ghosts meandering about their home, yet they are unafraid is mind overwhelming. Most of the people out there if they had realized ghosts were possessing their home would be scared and freaked out. For what reason is this couple not even slightly feel scared?
