Line 3:
I was on the couch, a bowl of Cheetos in front of me, and the television on. I was watching MTV, one of my favorite channels at the time. I especially liked it when they played a G-Bite. 
 
After some generic pop song ended, the television was acting strange. The screen went black, and then flashed white without warning. Then static, followed by a really bad recording of some goth-looking band. The corner of the screen said the band was called Sombra Massacre, and the song title was “Reap”"Reap”. This band was obviously trying too hard. 
 
The band consisted of four members: a guy around my age as the front man, an older gentleman playing guitar, a girl on bass, and another boy on the drums. The music, itself, was horrible. Everything was disoriented, and the instruments weren’t even in tempo with each other. But for some reason, I watched. The visuals were bad, too. It looked like it was cheaply filmed, and weird, hypnotic visuals appear sometimes.
Line 74:
I dressed in my Gorillaz Geep shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and some winter boots I found under the bed. I also remembered to grab my hooded jacket.
 
There were many record stores in my area, and a few of them were walking distance. The first one I went to had only just opened. The cashier smiled, and said, “eyy"eyy, nice shirt you got there!”
 
“Thanks"Thanks. I made it myself.”
 
“The"The ol’ iron the picture trick?” the cashier winked at me. “Yeah"Yeah, I’ve been guilty of that, myself.”
 
I smiled, then started to look around.
 
“Anything"Anything I can help you with today?”
 
I looked at the cashier, then responded with, “I’m"I’m looking for this weird metal band.”
 
“Ain’t"Ain’t they all weird?”
 
“Yes"Yes, but this one was…strange. They’re called Sombra Massacre?”
 
The cashier gave me a confused look. “I’d"I’d remember a band with that name.” he decided to look online to see if they even existed.
 
“I"I can’t find anything on this band.”
 
I was confused. He couldn’t find the forum, either?
 
“Are"Are you sure?”
 
The cashier invited me to look at the screen. There was the forum, the only site available.
 
I pointed to the forum, “there’s"there’s a site right here.”
 
The cashier gave me a confused look. “No"No there ain’t.”
 
This was even stranger than the music video.
Line 108:
I thanked the cashier, and made my way to the next store. Every store I’ve been to had the same thing happen. The person working at the store would tell me the band didn’t exist, and even look it up online. I still see the forum that pops up on the screen, but each clerk denied my claim.
 
What happened today made me cautious about the forum. I decided to look up Pangrani. A picture of a newspaper story from 1934 popped up. I decided to look at the paper. Someone had uploaded it on what appeared to be a forum students go to for essay prompts. The poster captioned the article with, “Here’s"Here’s a cold case that’s still being investigated. Perfect for criminal study students.” The article detailed a murder that has never been solved. It detailed the wounds on each victim, and how the house had been burnt as well.
As soon as I reached the end of the article, my skin got extremely cold.
 
“The"The victims have been identified as Damien Pangrani and his children; Adria, Onyx, and Salem Pangrani.”
