Chemicals and Radiations

My friend Benji is so nice. She showed me lots of places around that I didn’t know about where there is chemicals and radiations. Benji says those things made her mutant. She says things don’t hurt as much when you are mutant and she feels ok not too much hurting from changing to mutant either. All of this sounds maybe ok to Sam and if I was mutant me and Benji would be like sisters. And I think I like to be a sister.



So I was thinking about it first and then went and I just did it. I went to one of the places where there was green radiations and stood in it for a little while maybe not enough I don’t know.



I was feeling sick and like throwup after and then I got real sleepy so I hid in the tunnel. I had funny dreams of a dog that lived in Honcho Uno’s fort called Tripod for his three legs. He hopped around funny but he was a good dog and in my dream he brought me a little fish in his mouth. When I woke up I tried to braid my hair but it all fell out like dead grass. Maybe I’m mutant now but I don’t have a tail so I don’t know.

So Good News

I ran to the Cape today and went to see if anybody knew more from Harvey. Inside I seen Jordy and Gregory and KittyKat and Benji and a nice circus lady and they said Harvey was upstairs and alive. They said he was beaten up horrible bad and it was something called Frank or Ozgram that did it but I don’t know. I was so happy to know about Harvey being still alive.



There was talking about doing killing to some people because of what they did and everybody wanted to find a crazy fire girl with a funny name I forget. I wanted to help so I said I will help and some of us went running to try to find the mean men but we never seen them. I ran some with KittyKat and she showed me where Frank lives but he wasn’t home then. KittyKat is a army by her own self and I feel sorry for those mean men almost if KittyKat catches them.

I got to run with Benji too and we looked and looked for the bad people but no luck seeing them. Benji showed me some of the places around where things are that can make a girl go mutant. There was smelly something in a deep ditch for one and some sick water in another place that was radiations Benji said. I was thinking how nice Benji is and I wondered if I could make me mutant so we could be sisters. I didn’t want to jump in the chemicals right then but it would be nice to get a family again after so long. Maybe if I just swim in the ooze more I will change into a sister.



On the way back to Harvey’s we took the sky barrel and I rode on top.

Nice Fire

I went up to the top on Burning Mountain today to watch for owls again but I never seen any. When I was watching anyway I saw somebody down below so I kept watching. From where I was I seen she was a girl and she had a tail. I thought I seen her shiver in the cold so I yelled to her there is a fire up here if you are cold and she climbed right up.



She said she was called Benji and I said I hope I wasn’t mean to ask but what are you lady. She said she was mutant and I guess I asked a lot of questions about mutant. I met ZTAR one time and the snake hair lady that worked in Harvey’s Bar but otherwise I don’t know mutant from anybody. I even just learned what is ghoul that’s how much I don’t know about.



Benji was so nice to Sam and we shared the nice fire. She said mutant is when you are a person and then something happens like you get chemicals on you and then you change and become mutant. I guess I don’t know the more of it. Benji said Sam you be careful going swimming or you will get chemicals on you too. But I guess if I did get mutant me and Benji would be like sisters then and I like that.

Toss Words

one two buckle for you
three four at the door
five six don’t play tricks
seven eight at the gate
nine ten do it again

I don’t know what it means either.

Profit and Toss

Some good things were today I’m so full of vinegar too. I guess the first thing is when I put a note in a can in the Bog with a list of the things I didn't need so much that I collected here and built at the masheens. Was I thinking about dragging that electric motor around the sand forever maybe not. So I put my junk list in the Bog can and yesterday when I checked there was a note back to me from Tralala who is so glamour. She said Sam can I buy your this and some that so I said yes and thank you for shopping with Sam. I will not spell about what I got for my pay incase of pirates or other rats that can read and find this page. But it was a sweet plumb for Sam is all.



So that’s why I was feeling good and played hopscotch on the bridge. Grammy used to call it hop-toss for some reason I never heard nobody but Grammy say it that way. Maybe she was old in the head.

Fighting

So far Sam has only run from things. Danger makes my feet move and thinking about hurting things makes me feel bad inside. But so much of the word is bad too so I don’t know. Yesterday I was out running and met a nice lady named India. She said that just because there is a hat and blood in some water don’t mean that nobody dies it just might look that way. So maybe Harvey is trapped somewhere and can’t get away like that poor girl from before. India told me that ghouls were involved and some place called Black Market. I nodded but I guess I don’t know even what ghoul means. I seen a place called Black Market once but it looked more rusty than black so maybe I don’t know that either.



I asked if I could help find Harvey and India said sure so we ran around a bit and then met KittyKat. I met KittyKat when I was still new here and she chased me all through the Junkyard that day maybe just because I was running. But yesterday KittyKat told me I needed to learn fighting. I was ervous at first. I think I hit myself more than I hit KittyKat but we fought a few times just for my practice and something about it was almost fun. Swinging the machete made Sam feel bigger than I am like maybe I don’t have to run all the time. It’s funny and new to think about fighting. I felt bad the few times I hit KittyKat but she said it was ok. So watch out for warrior Sam you kidnappers and mean men.

KittyKat told me also that she feels bad because the night I seen Jordy and those mean men Jordy got all beat up and KittyKat was supposed to be watching and protecting Jordy then. I told her don't worry KittyKat because I bet Jordy could find trouble in a pile of pillows.

Empty

I walked all the way down to Harvey’s Bar this morning. It was so empty and quiet. Last time I was at Harvey’s there was a big dancing party and lots of people were having fun. Now it is so still and sad in the bar like it died with Harvey too. I guess I don’t know what to do so I left a red sticker flower on the counter. Maybe someone else who misses Harvey will see it and know that someone else misses him too. I wisht people would stop killing each other and help make things better but it sounds like crazy Sam again when I think that. I’m just a lost Twonkiehead girl with not much of anything and it seems like someone like me could be mean and take stuff and make only myself better but I never could do that. I even felt sorry for picking the red sticker flower that’s what a softy Sam is. Poor Harvey. I wonder what happend to his hat.

Poor Harvey is Dead

I spent all day on the bridge just laying on the couch and looking at the sky. It seems like things just grow up a little and then they die and that's it. Like the whole idea of being safe is just something they tell brats to stop them crying. Sometimes you get eaten sometimes you fall off a building sometimes a mean somebody kidnaps you and all they find is your hat in some bloody water. I only knew Harvey not so much but I think his being dead means bad for everyone. I got cross thinking about it so I played hopscotch like Grammy taught me but I need to find some chalk. Maybe I’ll go down to Harvey’s Bar tomorrow and leave a red flower in case he might come back somehow.

What I Just Seen

I was just out running at dawn I don’t even know where and I saw some men ahead so I stopped and sat down in the shadows to rest. The sun was just coming up and I seen five men who looked maybe mean and also dangerous and that kid Jordy was with them. I could hear them from where I was and they were all talk and talk about some food deal and some ammo they had or needed I don’t really know. Some of them were quiet but they didn’t look any nicer than the talking ones.



But then I almost made a yelp when I heard the next thing that Harvey was dead. One of the men said they found Harvey’s hat in the water with some blood and they guess Harvey isn’t coming back from being kidnapped. Jordy and some other man was talking that they missed Harvey and maybe they would hurt the people who killed him. But the other men said they didn’t care and these things happen so I guess they are mean men.

Then Jordy muttered something I don’t know and then he pulled out a gun and shot one of the men in the cheek. Jordy ran off as soon as he shot the man but the man just laughed like nothing hurt him. I was so scared I was like a cold stone.



The sun was coming up and the shadow I sat down in was starting to go away. Also I noticed that the men were all looking at me so I just stood up and ran so fast I felt like throwup when I finally stopped. I’m so sad for Harvey. He was very nice to Sam.

Running Around

I been trying to see new places when I go running around. There is so much to see here and I only know a little of it. Today I found a place that has my favorite kind of sticker bush growing like my thinking place in The Rot but not as good a view. I like the sticker bushes for some reason I don’t know. The scratches feel good I guess and I feel right at home when I sit in them even the new patch I found.

I heard that Harvey is still missing. I wisht I could find where he was so I could get people together and save him but I guess I’d have to be pretty lucky to know where he was. I hope he gets out and safe soon.

Rough World

Today I walked and walked. I seen a boy I know called Gregory who said his friend Harvey was kidnapped by somebody. It was the second kidnap I heard about this week so somebody is doing bad things. I met Harvey at his bar one time and he was nice so I hope he gets found. I also seen a little green boy called Kendo who said he got attacked when he was asleep and his head was all rolling on his neck from pain. I guess it is a rough world and that’s why I run from everything.

Corndog

I went to a place where some people dance on a roof sometimes and met a nice lady named Frost. She was eating a thing I never seen before so I asked and it was called corndog. I wasn’t sure how they grow that but Frost gave me one she had and I made her promise it wasn’t people meat inside.

Corndog is so good. You hold it by the stem to eat. On the outside it has a layer of oily bread that is corn and kind of sweet too. Inside is meat that maybe is ground up rat but I don’t know. Frost said I should put mouse turd on it but what she meant wasn’t like it is spelled. Mouse turd for corndog is a yellow paste that is tangy like some of the roots I dug up and tried to eat. All of it together was yum and I wisht I knew where they grow because I would pick the whole bush of corndog.
