*Its the midst of Fall. The days grow shorter, the nights last longer. Its been raining a lot more recently. And I mean a lot more. You would think a hurricane hit. Just a bunch of storms, and the occasional lightening. All this ever since that new museum opening up not too far off.

At first people were outraged by it because of how much space it had taken up and all the small mom and pop shops that they forcibly, or should I say "coerced" into closing went out to make room for it. But now, even the authority figures who promised to do something about it stopped trying. Well..what would you expect from politicians. Whoever lines their pockets always wins, and Im sure those execs have a special piggy bank just for situations like this.

As a reporter, its my job to investigate situations like this, but thats become increasingly taxing. And Im not talking about the usual uncooperativeness. I mean everyone seems to be stopping me from doing my job. The authorities are putting more pressure than usual, the mayor seems to be tight lipped, and even my boss, who you would think couldnt resist a juicy headline seems to have gotten squimmish. Just what is going on. Its just a museum right? I mean..its a strange museum, but its just a museum...right?

Why is everyone so strung up about this. Thats my problem. Thats what makes all of this suspicious. If they had all just treated this like a normal new business popping up in town, none of this would be a bother. But the fact that everyone seems to be actively pushing away any type of public publicity is what has my alarm bells ringing and thats why...I became a reporter to tell the truth. To uncover secrets. To let the public know about...things. Anything. Whats that old saying? Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Scoff Wrong one. Oh well. Either way, today was another dead end. *

*Maybe better luck next time. But at this point everyone, including my boss, has been wanting me to stick my nose in the books and keep my head down...and that just makes me want to pursue this more. So sue me. Curiosity killed the cat.

Damn. Its raining again. This time even harder than usual. Its even darker than usual too. Not a beam of sunlight out. You'd almost swear the clouds were against us.

Crap. My powers out. What now? Why? Dammit, if I'm at least going to be rained in at least give me the decency of being able to relax and watch some movies in peace. That's all I ask.

Where's my phone? I cant find it anywhere its so damn dark. The only light source Im getting is the flashes of lighting followed by the loud furious clap of thunder behind it. Guess I just have to wait. Ah. Finally. Found it. Christ is so damn dark in here. What the hell...peers outside the window its only me? I thought it was a rolling blackout. Why the hell is it my house is the only one on the block with its power knocked out.*
