Grool The Demon

It was around the time that game L.A. Noir first came out. I ended up getting really sick with the flu and I was having these really vivid dreams where I was a detective investigating gruesome crime scenes and questioning suspects.

Anyways, my girlfriend at the time worked a lot of odd hours and she had a late shift on one of the days I was sick. So I crawled in bed around 6 or 7 pm hoping I’d get to see her and be feeling a bit better when she got home at 11. I’m exhausted so I immediately fall asleep.

So, I end up having another detective dream where I’m going over this murder scene where this lady was butchered in her kitchen. It’s even in black and white. I’m gathering evidence, questioning the neighbors and other passers by and talking with my partner who reminded me of Robert Stack from Unsolved Mysteries.

While all this is going on I start hearing someone calling my name. Real light and slow like it’s far away. At this point I feel like I’m obsessed with the case and really closing in on a suspect. My partner and I stop to take a smoke break and go over some ideas when I hear my name called again only louder. At this point it’s been escalating louder, closer, and clearer for what seemed like an hour.

I look at my partner and he’s reacting as if he heard it. So I ask him if the stress of the case was cracking me up or if he’d heard someone calling my name too. He just kinda wryly smiles as he looks down stamping out his cigarette under his polished black leather shoe and then just sort of chuckles to himself. He says, “Yeah… I heard it… I guess we’ll have to finish the case some other time.”

I start to argue with him asking him what he means. We can’t stop now… we’re getting too close to an answer! That’s when he finally lifts his head, sort of tips his brimmed hat back, and looks me dead in the eye as he puts his hand on my shoulder. We stand there in silence for a second when we hear someone call my name again only louder and closer this time. That’s when he squeezed my shoulder and calmly yet sternly tells me “None of this matters, none of this is real… It’s time for you to wake up now.”

I instantly shot up wide awake. It felt like I was pulled back into reality, like a rope literally tanked me upright in bed. Now, I’m sitting there just heavily breathing and sweating bullets when my girlfriend walked in and asked me how I was feeling and that she’d been trying to wake me up for like 5 minutes because she’s gotten some soup and crackers ready for me to try and eat.

The whole experience was just so odd I couldn’t shake it for like a week. She’d been the one calling me but that 5 minutes in dream time felt so much longer. Also, it felt surreal how my partner seemed to have real agency and how it all felt so real.

In the end, I never ended up having another detective dream or finishing the case. It’s like the facade of the dream world was shattered in that moment and my partner was kind of saying goodbye. I don’t know why I dreamed of a good man, friend , and partner like Stanford McCallister but I still wish I could thank him for waking me up.

I kind of agree… I hated it at first but it grew on me.

In the US it’s probably because literacy and reading comprehension is the lowest it’s been since the 80s.

His face looks like a mental illness.

I like Chosic and Music-Map when I’m looking for similar music.

Thank you for your story. It’s just so heartbreaking. This should be added to as time and new events and outcomes goes by and become a permanent copypasta. People everywhere need to read this and learn to understand the damage all of this bigotry does. You’re amazing and tell your son that he is as well.

This has actually frightened me for years. There are fucking weirdo’s out there that believe so much in the Bible that I think they are actively trying to make the end times prophecy happen rather than just, you know… Evolve?

The Brotherhood of Stone has been at this for centuries making people believe in rocks. Its the most despicable, heinous, ludicrous conspiracy that has its claws reaching into everything, literally everything. I’ve been researching it for decades and I still haven’t found just how far the rabbit hole goes.

Obviously sleeper agents to spread the infernal unnatural words of the geologist conspiracy. Rock Hudson! Just look how long they’ve been keeping the blinders on all of us.

I was kind of thinking along those same lines, but what if millions of people did it… Would it matter? Could a protest like that work or make Amazon see the error of their ways? I doubt it, but it would be fun nonetheless.

Am I the only one that feels bad about how that guy feels about fucking up his marriage? Lol.

Just regularly tell it to go fuck itself and tell it to tell Jeff Bezos to fuck himself.

Rocks aren’t real people!!! Wake the fuck up and follow your instincts! It’s all a conspiracy conjured up by big GEOLOGY!

I said justice would’ve seen Trump tried on January 7th and hung on January 8th. That got me a soft ban. Then I said kill all Nazis but six and save them for pallbearers. That got me a permaban. Tearing the bandaid off on 12 years of comments and posts hurt but so far I like the attitude of Lemmy a lot better. It feels like real conversation instead of just shitposting and trolling.

I wonder how long Krasnov would burn if we set him on fire?

I hope we squeeze this crybaby bitch until he’s living on the street failing at sucking dick for his Ketamine fix. Fuck him and the rest of the billionaires. They simply shouldn’t exist

I never actually thought of it that way, but yeah it makes sense in a way. Still crazy as all get out though. Thank you for the insight!

What is this fucking moron’s obsession with Canada being the 51st state? What a deranged maniac.

It couldn’t be because you’re the doughy soft handed son of a rich apartheid loving father that never invented anything but takes credit for everything.

No shit. With or without Trump the risk and writing on the wall has been there for some time. Krasnov and his Ketamine addicted financer are just accelerating an already existing problem with uncapped capitalism and the overly complex and unfairly weighted tax system.
