The Stay On Main hotel, referred to by its former title of the Cecil, stood tall before me. Its brown brick front loomed. I walked through the main entranceway with my suitcase in hand.
I made my way into the empty lobby and approached the front desk. The inside had glossy black and white tile flooring. Stanchions with red ropes led to the check-in counter.
The clerk looked up at me from his phone with a side-eyed glance. He had wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. He resembled a surfer more than he did a night manager.
“I’m looking to stay here for a week,” I said as I handed him a wad of cash.
“This is an affordable housing unit for the homeless,” he said. “You’re well dressed and have an Irish accent. I’m guessing you’re a journalist or documentary filmmaker. Either way, it wouldn’t feel right to let you stay here when you can afford somewhere else. You’d be taking up space someone of greater need could use.”
“This should erase guilt,” I said as I handed him another stack of hundreds.
The man accepted the bribe and stuffed it in his shirt pocket. He then slid a room key over to me after I gave him a false name and a credit card that did not belong to me. He mentioned the complimentary breakfast available in the morning.
“I’m Scottish by the way,” I corrected him as I made my way onto the elevator.
There were fifteen floors and my room was on the fifth. I pressed the button. The sounds of the creaking wires holding the platform stable reverberated above.
It dinged and let me off. I went down the hallway, which had wooden ground and drab white-painted walls.
I entered my room and saw it was not much better than the corridor. There were a few places I had stayed at with my wife around Loch Lomond far above such a decrepit den as this.
The first thing I saw was the view of skid row outside. Its wandering figures resembled the madhouse painting by Goya. Street lights, neon, and litter were everywhere.
The desk drawer had the to-be-expected Bible. Shock coursed through me as I saw the completed works of Alfred Tennyson next to it. A highlighted passage got my attention:
‘and this gray spirit yearning in desire to follow knowledge
like a sinking star, beyond the utmost bound of human thought.’
It was well-known that Tennyson was a part of my agency when the organization was first founded.
I laid my piece of luggage on the bed and opened it. I took out a leather-bound journal, an EVP recorder, external microphones, and a few mini cameras. I placed the items in each corner.
I waited and retrieved my ledger. I scribbled about my findings later in the morning.
EXCERPTS FROM FIELD NOTES/SURVEILLANCE MONITORING, FEBRUARY 16th AT 0439 HOURS:
There is a streak of blood underneath my mattress. It is faint, very old, and would not even be noticeable to the average eye due to its faded quality. I would not have found it had I not spotted and attempted to kill a roach that scurried across the carpet. The insect has disappeared. I presume it to have fallen between the cracks into another dreary unit below. I have not observed strange or unusual sounds within my space in particular. I have not seen any visions, ethereal or cerebral, which would sound any alarms. Screaming, honking horns, and drunken babbling seep through the boundaries. The wind seemed to flow through the rafters at an unusual pace around those noises. By that, I mean it whistles a song of its own in perfect rhythm.
*
I awoke the next day to the sound of my phone. It was the landline in the room. I answered it and pressed the receiver to my ear in a groggy state, entangling my neck in the wire.
“Meet me at the Civilization Cafe,” a familiar woman’s voice said. My response would have been irrelevant since it was an order and not a question. I placed it back on the hook and managed to get out of bed.
I showered, dressed, and made the walk to the coffee shop.
Dani sat outside with a steaming mug in hand. She did not acknowledge me with anything more than a quick nod as I took a seat across from her. She scanned her surroundings to make sure no one was within earshot.
“Why did you rent the place for a week?” Dani asked between sips. “We agreed on one night.”
“You know why,” I said. I tried to remind myself to remain assertive without being hot-tempered. I did not want a write-up for insubordination.
“We need you to find out what’s wrong with this place," she said. "Report your findings soon. Otherwise, what happened to the last occupants could very well occur to the next civilian.”
“Please don’t put pressure on me like that,” I said. “Catching a poltergeist in a place with so much suffering is almost impossible. It's like summoning the ancients and asking them about the order of their calamities.”
“Could you at least streamline it by sending us emails instead of relying on a pen and notebook?” Dani’s voice became an aggressive whisper. “We’re getting tired of hiring an administrator to sort out your papers. Keeping your intelligence on point is a full-time job.”
“Writing it out by hand gives me a closer connection to the source material. I have to trust my way, or I’ll make mistakes by breaking my habits. You wouldn’t want that.”
She looked down the road. She finished her drink, slung her purse over her shoulder, stood, and pushed her chair in.
“Stay safe,” she said as she walked to a black cherry-painted Honda parked near the sidewalk. "Take care, Graham."
EXCERPTS FROM FIELD NOTES/SURVEILLANCE MONITORING, FEBRUARY 17th AT 0345 HOURS:
There has been one odd synchronicity after another. My window, accumulated so much mist that I reasoned it must have been pouring. Of course, it was bright out. Some of my filming devices have readjusted without me having touched them since set up. The towel rack in my restroom bent at its center. I guarantee it was not that way beforehand. I have taken this as a lesson to take photographs of every square inch of the place. This is for future reference in my studies. After observing these anomalies, my body fell into a lethargic sensation. I was reading a book titled The Origins of the World’s mythologies by EJ Michael Witzel before it fell out of my hands. As sleep enveloped me, something tendril-like moved in my periphery. It disappeared when I tried to stare at the illusions. I fell off of my mattress after having a nightmare of a lion chasing me through the Serengeti. I hit the floor. I looked to the side and saw a fog creep through the small crack at the bottom of my door. I went to investigate where this was coming from. I did not see anything as the remnants of the precipitation evaporated completely. In the hallway was an orange feline. She scampered away into a grimy stairwell.
*
I walked outside after I finished the report. I stepped into my rented vehicle and drove to a liquor store to pick out a bottle of whiskey. There were so many evenings when I was comfortable in my sobriety. This was no longer one of them. I had an uncontrollable urge to drown myself in the brown liquid that had been a scar on my life for so long.
I passed by a few markets that were teeming with too many suspicious people outside to risk going in. It took a while until I found one that was quiet and clean.
I went across the parking lot and saw a mural of Venice beach on the wall. It brought back memories of walking along the sands of Prestwick, with Lynsey.
Her eyes were emerald and her hair was darker than any cave I had explored in my youth. We had met at the Old College Bar in Glasgow at an age we kept secret from the bartenders with our fake IDs. We had a competition to see whose fraudulent driver's license was the most convincing.
I do not remember if I fell in love with her at first sight. I do recall being in disbelief that she even bothered to give me the time of her day. I can remember kissing her for the first time. The scent of her blossom honey perfume lit my body up.
I snapped out of my reminiscences and purchased a bottle of Glennmorangie blue label.
I was back at the Cecil in minutes. I imbibed two highballs and passed out. My tolerance level had weakened compared to the binging of my younger days. When I awoke, I analyzed what had occurred in the room during my sleep.
EXCERPTS FROM FIELD NOTES/SURVEILLANCE MONITORING, FEBRUARY 18th AT 0116 HOURS:
I am feeling hungover but alert. My 450-milliliter friend is half gone, but I am seeing straight right now without any problems. In other words, I am sober with a grudge. I hope my Supervisors at the Providence agency will forgive my conduct on the job. I do not believe they will blame me. A cobalt-hued smoke emanated from one of the corners. Jazz music is playing around me, whereas it never has before for the duration of my stay. It sounds so old and improvised. The notes are as unfamiliar to me as they would be to a new listener in the Flapper era. Worst of all is how out-of-tune it sounds. My tub has overfilled itself with brackish water. I have not even bathed yet, so I know that was not by my hand. A piece of the footage shows a silhouette moving across the room. Before it reaches my sleeping body, the camera lens shattered.
*
I ran out of pages and my hand cramped. I wrote new entries within the margins. I also started to hear things other than old tunes from a bygone era.
Human wails seeped in, each one more agonized than the last. Within a few minutes, I differentiated how there were two different voices. One male, the other a woman. I attempted to record them, but it was useless. All my mics picked up were static and the hum of the air conditioner, despite how they plagued my ears like tinnitus.
I lit a circle of candles and created a makeshift altar in the center of the room. I drew the circle with salt. I sat in the lotus position, closed my eyes, and endeavored to remain open to any visions. Seances were always my last resort.
I fell into a dream. I saw a couple, both from the decade of prohibition. They were lounging in the same room as me. The man had a copy of the completed work of Alfred Tennyson in his hands.
It all seemed like a peaceful scene until an argument commenced between the two. The man retrieved a blade from his vest and advanced toward her. He stabbed her. She turned the knife on him by gripping the sharp edge in her palms and hoisting it towards his midsection. He tried to claw towards the door, but failed and instead made his way under the bed.
EXCERPTS FROM FIELD NOTES/SURVEILLANCE MONITORING, FEBRUARY 19th AT 0026 HOURS:
I now realize I have not met my intended goal. I was hoping to receive some answers why my wife took her own life in this place. Instead, I came in contact with a murdered couple from the 1920s. They killed one another, but the woman acted in self-defense. Following research, I have learned the female is an ancestor of my departed wife, Lynsey. They share the same name. Her family immigrated here in the 1850s. She had mentioned this to me over dinner on more than one occasion. I never knew they had made their way here, to the exact spot I am sitting.
I am grateful to these organizations for allowing me to make an effort at settling this matter. I hope I have completed my duties with integrity. Unfortunately, I was unable to contact her. I will revisit this place one day soon since I have no intention of giving up.

On tv and movies, people talk about California (particularly LA) as a dream destination cause of the beaches and the frequent sunny weather, but now, it is one of the most hated destinations due to the increased cost of living and the abnormally high homelessness there. One year's worth of rent for a studio apartment would sometimes cost more than the full amount to buy a mansion in other states (Kentucky for example). I live in Wisconsin, and now, it is getting expensive, even in the rural town I live in. Homeless has increased in big cities like Madison and Milwaukee, and even in the rural areas now, there are homeless. A lot of people say it is cause of Californians moving here, but that is cause the increase in population means an increase in supply and demand, which calls for higher costs.
Back when millennials were growing up, California used to be dream destination from what my parents told me. My paternal grandpa used to live there when my dad was a teenager. He said back then, it wasnt as expensive and homeless werent that high. Back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, California used to be praised. Back then, I used to want to live there even if it meant I had to give up the snow. I was born in Wisconsin and still live here. Now, I do not cause of that nature. New York, which many claim to be as bad as California, is still one place I would like to move to as I visited a year and a half ago, and it was appealing.
I spent two months in Nashville one summer on a trip when I was 15. People there had a problem with Californians too from what I heard. This was back in 2019, so it made sense.
On YouTube, I see people from states like Texas, Arizona, Florida, Tennesee, Nevada, Colorado, and Utah complaining about these Californians, cause its a supply and demand thing, so the same can be said for any state moving there.
California is the most populated state nearing forty million people with Texas being the second, but under thirty million. Even then, it is not the most densely populated, so no idea why it is so expensive there, even in the small suburbs not near the ocean. Florida is said not be as expensive even near the coast in big cities.
I do understand New York City being expensive. Hawaii is really ecpensive too despite Florida has a similiar climate to it.

Maybe some of you, like me, played Nancy Drew mystery games growing up in the early 00's. But if you haven't, they're super cozy games that I love revisiting even in 2023.
The games are set in modern day (except one). They are mostly centered around a central mystery to solve, and are often loosely based off of one of the books, but also include puzzles and learning about different cultures and history. You investigate by talking to characters, snooping in their stuff, and solving puzzles.
They were generally made for the 10-15 bracket but honestly hold up for me as an adult, especially on harder difficulty. None of them are too in your face about the learning except for, in my opinion, Secret of the Scarlet Hand.
The graphics do date them, especially the first couple games. But after that, since they're pre-rendered, they still look good today. A great bulk of the games were made by the same small team and extremely consistent in terms of quality and what to expect.
The games have a big focus on atmosphere and setting, which makes them very cozy. Some of them are scary, but for the most part they are not. They've very chill, you can mostly do stuff on your own time, except for a few parts that might be timed or tense.
https://store.steampowered.com/developeHeRInteractive/#browse
HeR Interactive has most of their library up on Steam. They also sell games through their website and very frequently have 50% off or higher sales there.

Ask me anything you'd like! I can recommend specific games to start off with depending on how much you like puzzles vs talking or a specific vibe or location, etc. I don't really recommend playing them in chronological order, but rather in order of what you find most interesting.

I dont have an international drivers license so my options for renting are limited. Is it worth it to rent a car for $50/day or just take public transportation/Uber where I need to go? Would love to hear peoples experiences with getting around, and any sights you might recommend.
budget: ideally dont want to spend more than $30/day on transportation. I dont have a motocycle license so I cant rent a scooter, only a car
Itinerary: this is mostly a beach-centered trip. I want to see Sikia cave which is a 45 min drive from my hotel. If I want to do anything on the west side of the island I'll need a ride, but I dont know how much that would cost both ways
Research: My trip is 5 days, I plan on spending 2 days exploring the east side of the island by foot near my hotel (or renting a bike?) and try and see the west side for the other 3. Is it worth it to rent a car for 2-3 days at $50/day or uber 2 times a day for 3 days?

Don't get fooled by auto drivers who offer to hold your personal items during visa interview at US Consulate near Gemini circle.
Unlike VISA application center that had a private locker facility, nothing is available near consulate. Also, they only allow transparent files with the required documents and purse inside.
I had an experience where an auto driver offered to store my personal items for a hefty 500 Rs. They quoted "we will pray sincerely that you go to US and settle happily, just this once do good for poor auto drivers like us". Believe me its not safe.
Instead, keep your phone and other items back at home / hotel when you come for interview at US Consulate.
Anybody else face this?
