The Meat Man
The Meat Man It started as most things do, with my boredom. I was surfing around on YouTube, looking for funny videos or scary videos, when I stumbled across something that caught my interest. It was run by a user who went by The Meat Man and it involved stop motion footage using some very disturbing puppets. The thing that honestly caught my eye first was the thumb nail.

We’re getting ready for bed and my wife and I were fighting over a single sink as we were brushing our teeth. The door to the hallway was open and I’m staring at myself in the mirror as I brush away. I then see my sister-in-law walk past me wearing a white skirt and pants, not three feet away from me. Mind you, and go down the hallway towards the living room and the kitchen. Now the layer of this House means that anyone and everyone needs to go down this hallway by the bathroom to move between the bedrooms and the kitchen and the living room.

Weighing the Options
The skin on my back tightened like the outside of a sausage under the grill as the late afternoon sun beat down on me. I rolled my shoulders, feeling each muscle tense and release. I mentally counted them off; traps, delts, lats, biceps, pecs. I’d concentrated on them last night, and with today’s work they were sore again. I’d been working all the hours I could to make ends meet. Nicole just kept asking for more and more, but it was for my daughter, she said.
