So this woman and her boyfriend from down the street
Came by my apartment today
And started torturing my cat
Because they wanted to discuss a bunch of lame stuff I already know
They brought different people with them as examples of things I needed to write about
Goons that tortured my cat for different reasons, what their reasons were
And then they let each of those people torture my cat till it threw up mucus
I couldn’t get them to stop
They were very proud of themselves and how witty they were, and of the different points they wanted to make in the “discussion”
They tortured the cat for about 2 hours maybe two and a half
Before anyone could get them to stop
They couldn’t even understand what I was saying to them
Finally I said what kind of discussion is this
You could just say these things
You could just think about these things
You could write them down your f****** self
You could send me an email
I’m on LinkedIn
But instead the only thing you could think of to do is to torture my cat?
The fact that it only took about two and a half hours puts them at the upper end of the curve in terms of intelligence, as my visitors go
Then I noticed something bizarre
A lot of times I would tell them something and it would just vanish
The woman would cock her head to one side and appear to be thinking about it– then blink a little — then respond as if I hadn’t said anything
This happened half a dozen times tonight
Like she was too smart to not understand my argument — it had to be taken completely away from her if she was going to be able to keep at it
It makes me think about Pavlov’s dogs
And this weird thing he’s famous for, the fistula
It’s mentioned every time you read about him, which is weird because he tortured those dogs every kind of way
And all the other things he did to them didn’t get names
But this one has this special fancy name it’s called a fistula
And it’s gross I’m warning you
It’s a hole cut in the throat so that when you eat the food falls right out onto the floor
This woman appeared to have a mental fistula
You’d give her some “food for thought” and she’d start to chew it and it would vanish as if it had never been there
How does that work?
You know what gets me every time
They’re never sorry
It doesn’t occur to them to be sorry
Each goon, after someone talks them down
They want to joke and laugh with me, be friends
It never seems to occur to them that I might be upset
She kept calling goon after goon to come and torture this cat
She’s been torturing it like this for months, 3x a day on a schedule
(Don’t jinx me, it used to be 4 times!)
She makes it very hard for me to write things down
So I told her no way am I having this discussion until you leave my cat alone
And finally I called for help. I screamed for help.
Help came and she told them she’s a level 14 ninja
And no one can do anything about her
That’s how good she is, she tells me
But get this — she’s acting like she’s fighting for some noble cause, rattling off nonsense I’ve said a hundred times or more–and she means it
But I can tell that she’s being used to distract me and keep me from writing
Because she screams louder whenever I try
And I can tell that she’s not aware of that at all
What kind of level 14 ninja is that?
You know what she said finally, she said, I take care of you
Like I owed her
Because I have to listen to her scream every day
This woman has made my life a living hell and now she calls it caring for me
I think this is someone’s exit strategy, trying to take credit for the writing, just jumping on board at the right time
I don’t think it’s going to work, do you?
I remember when they put it in
It was a few years after it all started
They loved it so much
They just sat there and kept yanking things I was thinking away –before I could get back to them to finish them–and laughing.
They call it the level 4 murder.
They told me in some countries everyone has them
