Pictures

As promised, here are the pictures that Brian showed me. (I'm sorry for the poor quality, I blame my phone. They were a lot better in person). I wonder where or when he took these; I guess he took them in the forest nearby, but as far as I can tell from a distance all of the trees have lost their leaves.

Dang Phone

Today was a very good day for Brian; he seemed just as happy as he when he did on Thanksgiving. His arms look much better, and I've been watching the pictures he's drawing. They're slowly becoming less abstract and seem much more bright, a lot less grim then before all this.
In fact, he even told me that he had some pictures he wanted to show me; pictures that he apparently took over his Thanksgiving break. I took pictures of them with my phone (with his permission) and wanted to post them; but it seems the stupid phone has gone dead on me. It's such a fickle thing anymore, I really should look into getting another one, but I'll have to post those pictures tomorrow, then.

A Boring Week

Not much has been going on here, really. I go back to school tomorrow as Thanksgiving break is over, I didn't think to mention my days off as I had no way to spend them. I don't have enough money to make a trip back home to family, and as I know it isn't safe for me to go into the forest, I spent my days off at home talking to Roc. I sometimes wish Roc was male; maybe she would pick some words up. It would be entertaining at least.

As for Brian; I actually got a call from him on Thanksgiving. He wished me a happy thanksgiving, and seemed so happy, like his old self. I don't know how he got my number, but it cheered me up to hear him so happy and enthusiastic. I wonder if I'll be able to buy him something for Christmas.

Researching Day Four

Not much has been going on lately; I've been so very bored. I know it's been awhile since I've done this researching, but because I can't go Bird Watching now this is really all I have to amuse myself. I've decided to post a small bit about another Disorder, I hope you don't mind.

Dissociative Identity Disorder
(Formerly Multiple Personality Disorder)

- Is often random and unpredictable.
- Often involves a phobia of some sort.
- Mood Swings
- Insomnia
- Can involve alcohol or drug addiction
- Characterized by at least two personalities that take control of the body, and the inability to recall personal infomation that isn't normal forgetfulness.
- Not a disorder that can be brought on by a drug.
- Often isn't diagnosed until adulthood; but usually comes from repetitive abuse in childhood.
- Many people who suffer from this suffer from other disorders (OCD, Anxiety, Depression, etc.).
- They also are easily affected by Dissociation, which is when an aspect of the affected person's self/environment become disconnected from each other. 
- They are highly intelligent and highly creative. 
- The alternate personalities come in a few main types. There are host personalities which appear most often, opposite gender personalities, self-helper personalities, and persecutory personalities. The latter may harm themselves or others.

Police

I was called in to have my questioning session with the police today, it was all very sudden so I didn't have time to say when I was going. The questions started out normal enough, asking me when I had started working at the day care, as well as what I was doing in school. However, it wasn't long into the interview that the questions became more personal than I had expected. They asked me things like; what were my hobbies? Did I like birds? Did I have any pets? What kind? I was very confused by this, until they handed me a disc. They said that on the disc was a recording they had taken on scene, and they were quite worried for me. I listened to it at the station, and I have to say I am just as worried about it. They also let slip that Brian's scars seemed to be caused by a bird; not a bird like Roc, but a larger kind. I have the feeling they think I'm a strong suspect in this kidnapping. But the following video I made, with the audio recording, proves that I couldn't (and have not even thought of) doing such a thing.



That strange distorted voice that cuts into the sound of birds says; Mary, the trees. Look towards the trees, Mary. It had to have been from the forest, but why or how it was created..I just don't know.

Meeting Brian

I saw Brian at the Day Care today. I was so relieved to see him, so glad to know he wasn't really gone. No one paid much attention to him much except me, and I talked to him a bit. I didn't ask anything about the indecent, he didn't seem up to it (and really, I don't think I did either). When I spoke to him, I saw he was shaking. He was afraid, and he drew very abstract drawings. They weren't of trees, or of strange symbols. He even picked colors at random. I also noticed his arms. His arms were lacerated with scars, but they weren't like blades. I don't know how to describe them, but they couldn't be natural.

I'm so curious over what happened to him, but I know it isn't right to just go out and ask him. I just don't want it happening to him again, and with how he is...I doubt he'll want to go outside much anymore.

First Day..Again

Today was the reopening of the Day Care. About half the children altogether had left the day care, and I could see why. The police had given out small, vague details about the whole indecent and I guess parents weren't too happy to hear such things. Brian wasn't among the kids there, which I thought was strange until I realized it was Wednesday.

When the children went out to play, we had most of the staff (including myself) out there with them. I noticed the scenery changed around the day care. None of the day care itself was harmed, but the forest near the day care was. The trees nearest the day care looked partly destroyed, their limbs were torn off as if lightning had hit them, or something had crashed into them.  It wasn't like that the day Brian vanished, but I hadn't been near the day care until today. If Brian is at the day care tomorrow, I'll talk to him (but I'll try not to ask too many questions about it all).
