 		 Giant pink elephant
Maybe a trailhead
So Skip Headington, a patient at the local insane asylum, as started this blog: http://giantpinkelephant.blogspot.com/. A word of warning, it is pretty disturbing, so read at your own risk.


So where do we start with this one?

 		my conversation so far with him

Re: Time moves on without knowing eachother

I am the king and the peasant. I am the keeper of the end. Within me, lies the secrets of lands you only dream of every so often. And yet I am also a prisoner, in my mind, and in this place.

Here on this Earth? Or here in this damnable place? To the former, my mother got raped by a hellbeast when she was 16, and decided to keep it. 9 months later, a squid-like being that looked sort of like Cthulhu popped out of her lady slit and they called it Skip. To the latter, because apparently my friends aren't real, never have been, and when someone noticed me talking and playing with them, well, they decided to keep me here.

The Men try and keep me in line the best that they can. When I start ranting and raving and foaming at the mouth and clawing at the walls and realizing that's futile so I start trying to claw my eyes out, they quickly rush in and tranquilize me like some untamed animal. They keep a very close eye on me and goddamn I wish I could just kill them all so I could fly into the clouds and live in my marshmallow castle.

Re: Time is flying never to return.

The end of everything, my dear. I am but one piece of many. We are scattered throughout most every asylum in the United States. Try and piece us all together, and well...your mind will melt from the sheer occurrence. They only feed me enough to keep me alive, never enough so I can become stronger. They know better than to aid me in becoming stronger.

Wisp whirl! Red chocolate will bring about the demise of fairytales. Twenty-two.

How dare they to treat you like an animal? I believe there is great power inside of you.


well, his mails are underlaid with black.
so...

 		Jebus! Shocked That is some disturbing stuff right enough. Anyway, I had a nose around looking for stuff on "Ancora Asylum" and only found a few mentions, here:-

http://www.weirdnj.com

Spefically, it's mentioned in an article in Issue 18

And Issue 19

This is Ancora Psychiatric Hospital, which I guess must be the place:-

Honestly, there's too many friends to remember. They visit me at night, or sometimes even during the daytime. Sometimes they just coalesce through the door, other times I'll look away and look back and they're there. Sometimes they're invisible and just speak inches away from my ear, other times they don't speak at all and give a clenched hand on my shoulder or a jab in the side.

I am currently in the Ancora Asylum in Ancora, New Jersey. It's a place that I'll probably never leave for the rest of my life, because if I ever left, a transparent hand would guide mine toward the knife.

Subject: Re: Why?

If anything, a casual stroll through faith shows that it is a proven lunatic asylum.

A lunatic asylum is like if a man, a good fellow, does things to a woman, which by the by, is called "landing her".

Most wares flourish in a place in the mind called a lunatic asylum.

Heaven is already perfect, for it neither welcomes the place of Man, nor the lunatic asylum.



* Who? An asylum for the clinically insane.
* What? Right now.
* Where? Me, Skip Headington, giver of sacred gifts and bearer of the fruits from the tree that makes us wet ourselves.
* When? Because one day someone caught me playing and talking to friends that apparently weren't really there.
* Why? I have no idea, either.

 		This reminds me of another post on the News & Rumours board. Something about the Keeper of the End and a link to a number of short stories. Maybe someone can dig it out cause I'm at work and not really supposed to be posting. <rebel> Heck, I'm not really supposed to be lurking but I hate missing stuff!!!

That would be located at http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26951

Hopefully a continuation of this since I have been hoping for that one to continue...

Though in all reality I am almost certain this is just part of the Keeper of... series from 4chan creepypasta and really will not lead to an ARG (this comment regarding both this thread and the one I linked to)... wish it weren't so, but I'm pretty sure that has become the case...

 		disturbing = understatement. Someone has a tentacle thing...

There's a link to http://www.thedevilsdictionary.com/, which in itself doesn't seem to be connected, but I've only skimmed it.

 		I am taken aback by the posts, but I am made very happy by the SWEET music by Tiny Tim. This Skip guy is insane, but he has a darn good taste in music!

 		To be honest... This sounds like something way too 'descriptive' and 'disturbing' to be an ARG...

I apologise to the PM if it is one... It just seems EXTREMELY 'adult rated' and there's no warnings of how disturbing it could be or anything screaming or even subtly hinting TINAG/ARG (That I can see, at least).

 		Just read the blog... will never be happy again...

Check out the comments. Most seem like they came from real people, but the one comment on the one about the female ghost (a poster named Rotate) seems like it might be IG (if this is a game, of course)

 		I agree with Leyton Stone, that blog is more than a little messed up and there's nothing obviously ARG-ish that I can see. I think I'm going to be leaving this one alone to be honest, ARG or not. *shudders*
