Greetings, Harry!

Hey, Harry, please excuse those last few posts. I recently came down with a cold and it’s been messing with me just staying in this apartment for so long. As soon as I’m better I’ll get back to work. Also, thanks for being so patient with me. I know I haven’t been the best worker lately because of how many times I’ve messed up, but it’s nice to know that someone out there is willing to give me a second chance.

Thanks,

Nathan
Nobody

can't stop the inevitable

Harry called.

I demanded to know what was coming after us, and Harry responded “Nobody.”

When I wondered what had made the others disappear, he said “Nobody.”

I asked what its name was.

“Nobody.”

My name is Jonathan. My name is Jonathan. My name is Jonathan. My name is Jonathan. My name is Jonathan. My name is Joatna. Matya nmaem is JAntn…,at May n aertm is Jantnoannnnnnnnnnnnnnno

save me from myself

It was sitting in my living room playing with my knife. And it was me what the fuck it was actually me. I thought I was having another out of body experience at first. The other me stood up and started walking towards me, setting the knife down. said “I’ll be a better you.”

i can still hear it, hear it trying to use my own voice to get into my head i hear it trying to get into the bedroom

covering up the windows and mirror because thats not me thats not my reflection

 i think ill be safe for now if i just keep calm and block out my own voice

I woke up… just a few minutes ago. I go into my bathroom and I was just going to slap some water on my face maybe take a few sleeping pills

I look into the mirror and

and

that wasnt my reflection

Thing's screwing with me

I don’t

Just

I was never prepared for whatever this thing is.

I wake up and I’m a ten year old again, back in my old room and everything. Mom’s in the kitchen making breakfast, dad’s already gone off to work. Mom looks at me and starts asking me why I haven’t made a lot of friends, asking me what’s wrong with me, saying it’s hard on her when I don’t communicate. I try to answer but no sound comes out and she starts bawling her eyes out. Then it changes and she says that I'm such a good kid and that I'm having my birthday party soon with lots of my friends and what the fuck? She never said anything like that to me

Then I’m back at my old school and… you know those dreams where you feel like you’re a third-party and just watching yourself? Well it was kind of like that and I was off to the side, watching myself walk down the hall. Except I’m… not myself. I’m walking with friends that I never had, having conversations that never happened.

And then we’re at my graduation which is bullshit because I’m a fucking high school dropout so where’s this graduation coming from? But my parents, they look happy… friends are congratulating me and stuff.
…

Bullshit, all of it. None of that ever happened, okay? None of that ever fucking happened, no matter how much I wish it did.

come and get me you bastards

starting to get calls from them they’re saying they’re right outside waiting for me and why don’t I come outside. Hell no

staying right inside here. No idea what they are but they’re not fooling me. hell even trying to mimic the landlord to get to me! Not going to work fellas so you better just come on in and take your best shot.

how'd it get in my house?

one of them, one of the guys just appeared in my fucking apartment out of nowhere and starts swinging an axe at me. Managed to knick me right in the shoulder – an inch to the right and it would have taken the whole damn thing off. Managed to stab whatever the hell it was in the throat but it wasn’t an android or something like that. Closest thing that can describe it was like a piece of paper going up in flames, or old film slowly boiling or something like that. That’s what it looked like when it went, and it went with a smile.

NOT THE NEWBORN SCRATCH THAT NOT THE FUCKING NEWBORN

choir or towerborn?

What could be causing this??! Choir maybe since I know it can cause you to hallucinate and shit but I haven’t seen any gray fungus or whatnot so what the fuck is it?

I also looked up those targets I got from fake Harry and it’s freaked me the fuck out. See we all have our own aliases (like mine’s just Dallas) but I’ve met some of the other guys in our business and I know their faces. Well lo and behold the targets are the guys I know.

Need to find out who the fuck these people are. Maybe the Newborn built some sort of android that could mimic Harry’s voice and body and shit like that? Oh damn that has to be it because of the Towerborn

fuck it sounds like the knocking is coming from my bathroom this time

taste of my own medicine?

Someone started banging on my door a little while ago and I didn’t want to take any chances so I got out my knife. Didn’t answer the door, just asked who the hell it was and didn’t get an answer. I was about to go back to bed when I hear Harry’s voice right outside, saying that it was urgent and that he needed to come in.

Thing is I make damn well sure that Harry and the others don’t know where I live. If I ever got fired there’d be less chance for them to find me you know? So unless Harry’s been spying on me which is kind of possible, someone else is using him to try and get to me.

pick up your damn phones

I’ve called up others that I know are in the business but nobody’s answering. Even the people that usually would haven’t answered.

I think that proxy has something to do with this. Maybe they are starting a war on our turf.

Maybe I’m next...

confused

Okay so there’s no real way to say this other than just saying it.

The Harry I met at the pizza place the other day wasn’t the real Harry.

I just got a phone call from him and he says that whoever I met the other day wasn’t him. He sounded freaked out over the phone, mentioning stuff like complications with the territory and that “they” were appearing. I tried asking him who but he just kept telling me to shut up and that I had to stay put. Said that the Boss was going to take care of the problem.

When I asked what the problem was, he hung up.

Tried dialing again and again but he’s not answering. I’m freaked the fuck out because I’m wondering what could impersonate Harry. I mean I’ve met the guy before so who could do that well of an impersonation?

Meeting with Harry

Just got back from my meeting with Harry. Met at the pizza place where we first killed the proxy and got ourselves a meatlovers (weird, since I thought Harry was a vegetarian before). We talked a lot about targets and such and it turns out he’s not such a hard ass as I thought he was. Shared stories of stuff we’ve done in the field and he’s got quite a lot of stories about ‘wars’ between factions.

Anyway we started talking about the Towerborn and he says that it’s been taken care of. Finally caught it a few days after the incident at the warehouse. Good riddance I say. As for the stuff concerning the proxy he says he’s looking into that. Might be the Tall Man’s Servants are coming into our territory.

And after our business we kind of went our separate ways. Got myself a few new targets so expect an update soon.

Got a call from Harry! Turns out I’m not fired and it’s all been a misunderstanding. He wants to talk more in person so it looks like we might have gotten that Towerborn after all.

Better not be fired

So Harry’s not answering his phone and hasn’t left the usual dead drop for me. I’m kind of uneasy because the people that get fired in my line of work usually end up like our targets – dead or gone. Neither really work for me so I’m going to try and keep an eye out for a guy in a gas mask.

I’m still trying to think of how that proxy could have been there. I mean it can’t have been the same guy because I watched the guy die. So maybe it’s one of his buddies or there’s some group that wears that tear symbol under their eye so as to say that they’re some sort of special division.

Fine

Okay since you’re not answering your phone I’ll just say it here.

I was at my post, same as the others, when I got the order. I’m at one of the loading docks ready to head in, okay, ready by that door. Just as I was about to go through it you want to know what I see? It was the fucking proxy from a few weeks back and no I’m not shitting you. It jumps me, tosses me around, and then it’s up and vanished into thin air while I’m still on the ground. I didn’t even see the Towerborn run past me but you can bet that I would have caught him if I hadn’t been jumped.

Look I know you’re pissed but it wasn’t my fault.

Harry please answer your damn phone I didn’t mean to damn it.

Hiding out in a warehouse, real fucking spooky

Okay could the Towerborn pick a more cliché place to be in? I mean come on. He’s holed up in a warehouse just by an old train yard. It practically screams shady on all kinds of levels.

We’ve got the place surrounded though so he’s not going anywhere. We’re just waiting for a few more of our guys to come in and we’ll be able to get in and out without any casualties. Thing is the longer we wait the more likely some reinforcements for the other side will show up so in my opinion we need to do this now.

Gonna rip out your heart Tin-Man

Alright so that Towerborn that’s the cause of this blog? He’s been spotted about two miles from here. The ones that aren’t after a target are being called to take care of our little tin-canned problem, which includes me. Finally getting some payback for making me start this damn blog.

To be honest though this thing has been kind of nice. I’m not much of a people person – never have been, never will -  so I don’t really talk all that much but it has been kind of nice getting to vent some of my frustrations on here. Usually I just keep them pent up until I get the go-ahead to take out the target. I guess it’s lucky I had this over the past few targets because each one of them seems to have been taken by another damn Fear. Guess it’s safe to say I’m not doing so well at this kind of thing.

Anyway maybe I’ll keep updating this thing after the Towerborn is dead.

damn snake lady

So Harry wasn’t happy about the Philip order but said it wasn’t my fault. Said it was something that the Boss hadn’t even anticipated. I’m guessing it was the snake lady since she’s been behind the scenes for the most part. Guess she’s coming out to play now.

Anyway Harry’s pulling me off to another assignment. Says something big is coming up and needs a lot of people's help.

No idea where he went

Broke into Philip’s house and… you’re really not going to like this Harry but he’s gone. That’s impossible because I’ve been keeping track of him this entire time and there’s no way he could have left. Oh and that comment about him shitting on the floor? I was kind of right because he had a bucket set up in the back of his house. Bathroom door was completely barricaded.

There might be a lead though. Every reflective surface in the house was smashed or covered up, like the windows. I’m thinking that the snake lady might have something to do with this but it just doesn’t make a lot of sense. Didn’t the Boss have this one covered?

Super Psycho Philip

Philip’s gone completely wacko. He’s started putting sheets over the windows so no one can see in. He hasn’t gone out for several days and when I’ve been close to the house I can smell this stench coming off it, like the guy’s been shitting in his living room.

Here’s the really weird part Harry. I called the guy’s cell to see if it still works and the guy actually picks up. Starts chatting with me like I’m a friend or something. I guess he thought I was trying to sell him something because he was very polite and said that he had some business he had to take care of and hung up. He didn’t act like the paranoid wreck that I thought he’d be.

Psycho Philip

back to business.

So Philip’s become a hermit. Not kidding – he never leaves home anymore and has barricaded his front door. Don’t know what I missed from my absence but I’m guessing the Boss has been kind of aggressive. Got into the wifi network to see if he’s made a blog or something. Well he hasn’t, but it’s kind of weird. All of his social media stuff has posts that make it seem like nothing weird is going on. He’s even communicating with people and acting like nothing is wrong. Either this guy has cracked or… I don’t know, something. Maybe rejecting that anything weird’s happening to him.

Awaiting other orders Harry. 

success!

Time to celebrate! Yeah we killed the bastard. Found him at that pizza place I mentioned a while back (what are the chances of that?). Had the mask off so he was a little difficult to spot at first but once we found him, well it wasn’t that difficult. Gave a little payback by ‘hollowing’ him out and dropping his body in the dumpster. Then we got to enjoy a nice slice of New York style pizza. Even Harry celebrated with us, getting himself one of those slices that had mushrooms and olives and all of that shit on it since he’s a vegetarian (never quite understood that lifestyle).

Funny thing was that I expected the proxy to recognize me but he was clueless, asking us who we were and crap like that. Probably playing dumb (like that ever works).

Things are cleared up.

Okay so things are cleared up and that proxy is going down tomorrow. Hear that bitch? That’s the incoming sound of my knife going through your eye. Then you’ll go crying back to Daddy Long Legs.

damn proxies

Harry I thought you said the guy was dead??

I go to collect my 'paycheck' and boom the guy shows up out of nowhere just staring at me. He was about thirty yards away so I had enough time to get prepared but still, how the fuck is this guy following me? I’ve been keeping careful, watching my back, but he somehow slips past me. I’m starting to get paranoid.

Look give me a call after this goes up because this is an emergency like it or not. The number you gave me still doesn’t work.

Trouble's brewing

Uh Harry we might have a problem. That proxy is now hanging around Philip’s place. Must have tailed me after I checked Bradley’s place. Boss is not going to be happy Harry, so I suggest we take out this asshole now while we get the chance.

The guy wears a black hoodie, jeans, white face mask with a tear drop under the left eye – original stuff yeah? Not sure what kind of weapon but he might have a knife tucked away somewhere on him.

Look if things are going down between the Boss and the Tall Man I don’t really want to be in the middle of it. I’ve heard stories about past fights and the massacres of several people and I don’t feel like dying. Look you can cut my pay if you want but I just don’t feel comfortable hanging around Philip’s place.

(I don't care if you read this, Harry)

Harry can kiss my ass. Apparently it’s still not “safe” and that the Towerborn that was monitoring us hasn’t been found yet. Blah blah blah. Send me after that asshole and he’d be scrap metal by sundown. Anyway why doesn’t the Boss go after him if he’s such a threat? That’s one thing I don’t get about my job. Why don’t the Bosses just kill the targets themselves?

Speaking of targets you probably already know this but Bradley’s dead. Looks like the Tall Man got to him – impaled on tree, body hollowed out, organs all in plastic bags, the whole shebang. Turns out that the proxy that was hanging around the house was pretending to be the girl that was talking to him. Should have found that out sooner – sorry Harry.

annoyed

When can I stop posting on this blog Harry? The only reason you made me make it in the first place is someone screwed up and our meeting place was discovered by that Towerborn. It’s been a while since then so how about we stop with the blogs and dead drops and talk like civilized human beings? I like getting my money in person anyway

Finally something happens

Looks like I’m not the only guy that’s taken an interest in Bradley. Some guy’s been hanging around the house – not sure who he is, and it’s too early to say what he serves. I’d get a closer look, but y’know I don’t feel like getting stabbed in the gut or ending up on the other side of the country duct-taped to a bumper car. Do it yourself Harry.

Oh yeah something new with Philip too! This guy shows up yesterday and I swear it looked just like my old biology teacher back in my freshman year. I didn’t pay any attention to that guy, always talking about the water cycle (what the fuck was a biology teacher doing teaching the water cycle, I don’t know). For one of our projects, he asked us to bring in all different kinds of bugs and write up a research paper on them. I got an F because I brought in a spider. What an asshole

Anyway he comes knocking at Philip’s door and when our guy answers the old man just stares at him. Not joking, he just stares at him and then walks off. Thought it might be another Servant so I tried following but once that guy turned the corner he was gone. Looks like both of Boss’s targets are being targeted now, eh?

Business is slow (as usual)

Status report: Bored as hell.

Bradley, the new kid, just sits at the computer once he comes home. Got onto the wifi he’s been using and it looks like he frequents some forums and talks with this girl on some instant messaging site. No idea if he knows her outside of school but I’ll find that out soon. If so maybe killing her will freak him out a little.

Philip’s not done anything lately. Can we just kill this guy already? Teasing him about his wife only goes so far.

If it doesn’t pick up here in a few days I’m going to take a break, maybe check out that new pizza place.

I hate kids too

Really Harry? You give me a fucking teenager? I mean at least Clara was kind of hot but now I have to deal with a whiny brat that’ll more than likely post his own damn blog. Well that’s not really a bad thing since they’re usually dumb enough to put everything on there.

Philip’s still pissing around as usual. Seems his job’s about to fire him because he’s “too distracted”. yeah I’d be too if I were him.

I hate you Harry

Damn it Harry, do you know how long it took me just to get this thing set up and ‘pretty’ for you? Asshole, it’s a waste of time. I could be out killing people for you, but nooo I have to make a damn blog just to report.

Anyway Clara’s dead. Followed her like you told me to last week and then the damn Dog got her. Really big mess when I got into her apartment; place stank to high heavens and there were bits of her actually stuck to the wall. Yeah I’m going to not fuck with the Dog thank you very much.

Philip’s still kicking for now, though I think the boss has been freaking him out with images of his wife. Pretty fucking hilarious to watch his reactions. “Oh my God I thought I killed youuuu!” Can’t wait to see his skull split into four or five pieces. Let me know when we can move in, alright? This better not take forever like the last guy I watched.
