Day 1

1 pm
I arrive from college to my dorm and ready myself for an entire week-end devoid of janitorial services. Since earlier this morning no one has cleaned the bathroom, the hallways or emptied any trash bins. Signs of degradation are already visible. I can only hope that these days pass quickly. Jim and Steven have helped stockpile food, water and toilet paper, but it's not the supplies that worry me.

3 pm
From the five working toilets in the bathroom we are now down to three. One had been left in such a way that sitting on it implied the risk of catching a rare, hard to pronounce disease. Butinfectiousbypoopotosis. Steven says it won't be long now until all of them are the same... or worse.

5:20 pm
Someone stole a trash bin and emptied its contents on the hallway. The smell is hard to stand, a combination of spoiled food and soda drinks. The cockroaches refuse to get near it. We try to stay inside our room as much as possible, entertaining ourselves by making shadows on the wall with our hands in the shape of animals. I can only make a bird.

10:22 pm
The walls in the bathroom have all been smeared with tomato juice into the shape of pentagrams. Jim said it has started, then ripped open a bag of chips with his teeth. Steve made a pillow fort in a corner of the room and now refuses to come out. He has a blanket over his head and his hands are cupped to his eyes like a pair of imaginary binoculars. We worry about him.

11:54 pm
I think I heard hums coming from the other side of the door. They sounded kind of like people practicing yoga or something. I didn't bother waking the others. Me and Jim still don't have any pillows to sleep on because of Steve, but if we try to take any away he gets very angry and starts swinging a butter knife while making light-saber sound effects with his mouth. Where the hell did he get that? We don't even have any butter.


Day 2

Saturday, 12 April

5:30 am
A terrifying shriek echoed across the hallway, too distinct to call it a nightmare. We do not dare exit the relative safety of our room to find out what has happened. When I glanced at the windows I noticed that they had been boarded shut from the outside. Jim tried to act it cool but considering how long it took him to open another bag of chips with those shivering hands I can tell he is rattled. Steve found a cockroach and has taken it up as a pet, naming him Sir Moopy. He then let us have half a pillow, I assume having cut it earlier with the butter knife.

11:00 am
Since outside is no longer safe, we had to use the sink inside our room as a toilet. That diet of junk food didn't go so well on us and.. our sink is now clogged. The stench is horrible. Sir Moopy has vanished, but the insect leg stuck in Steve's teeth hints about his whereabouts. I think I hear scratches at the door, going to investi

Enclosed in this message is a picture. This is what I did all day today. [link] I assure you there is no reason to worry about me, I never spotted any trouble.

By the way I love this story. I hope my college experiences are like this in the future. :lol:

ಠ_ಠ The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
:icontwistedinside:
haha that is so awesome! Hope you had your butter knife with you, too.

I'm glad you liked it, ends kind of abruptly since I wasn't in the mood to continue. Should have lasted throughout the week-end, when the janitor comes back and all is well again.

Most fun I've had since that clown died in the popcorn machine

Nah, the ending mad perfect sense. When you are trapped in those college dorms its always a sudden realization of everything going on around you. You first show up and you're nervous, but just thinking "OMG I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT!! :lol:" and then next thing you know you're laying half passed out on the floor wondering who the chick next to you is and why some dude laying on the couch across from you has no pants on. Everything in college is sudden and your ending reflected that (or that's how I took it >_____>;) Also, you suddenly realize you are broke :lol:

The End

It's the courage to go forth into the darkness, face your fears, find your heart, find light where you thought were shadows of your dream.
:icontwistedinside:
ok, maybe it was a wincy bit scary..

I was reading it aloud to the part about the Tamotoe Juice Pentagons, when my little sister told me to "stop reading about bathrooms."
