Talisman

Life is so boring. Everyday I do the same thing. The town I lived in grew quiet and lifeless. I couldn't live here anymore. I packed my bags and moved down to Tokyo.

Tokyo was a magical place to me. So much lights and life along with beautiful women. I unloaded my stuff and looked down on the balcony at the women walking by. I was a 35 year old single man in need of a woman's touch. Fuck my life. I hate being so strange towards women. I chased them away. While I was fighting with my inner self I realized a talisman sticking to my new apartment ceiling. What was that doing there? I went to get a stool and peeled the talisman off my ceiling. The fuck is this?

Later I ate dinner while watching my mini television, and saw a woman across the balcony looking at me. Her hair was long, black, and covering her face. She's so fucking creepy. I ignored her and continue on with my program.

The next morning as I woke I saw a brand new talisman sticking on my ceiling again. What is this?! I peeled it off once again, and threw it out the window. As I did I saw that same creepy bitch across my balcony staring at me with her slanted eyes. What is her deal?! I quickly closed the window and blinds to avoid any more eye contact with her.

"Hey man please come over my house, this lady keeps staring at me from the balcony and it's creeping the shit out of me."

"No can do man, my girl is inviting me over today and you know I want to knock them ankles loose haha."

I found a frown smudge across my face hearing those words. I had no choice but to go home alone.

That night I saw the woman staring at me again. I closed my curtains and decided to notify the police.

The very next morning the police came and took her away. She sat at the back of the police car staring me down. What is her deal? She mouthed something that I couldn't make out. I turned and went back in my house.

Later that night I started unloading more of my stuff to my new place. As I crouch down to place a mat on the floor, I realized something hanging off of under my coffee table. I peeled it off. There is was again, another talisman.

"What the fuck is this!?"

I flipped the entire table over and saw the whole bottom side of my coffee table filled with paper talismans. My hands worked on it's own as I peeled many off one chunk at a time. As I was peeling I noticed a light wind fan across my skin.

"That's funny, all my windows and doors are closed."

I stayed on all fours wondering why there was this strange wind and I jerked my head up.

There up above me, over me, and on top of me were thousands of ghost and spirits glaring down at me. With the talismans still locked in my fist, I screamed!

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
