Not Like Her (Darker Days Series #1)

Chapter 6: Hollister

October 14th, 3:52pm,

Today is Monday and guess what! My mom gave me my new pet cat as an early birthday present! I knew I was gonna get a cat, but I thought it would be on my birthday! He's a black cat just like I asked for and he's got beautiful yellow eyes that seem to glow in the dark. I decided that since my birthday is on Halloween, and this cat is black, I will name him Hollister. I like the name and I hope he will too. I just finished setting up his little bed in the corner of my room along with a food and water dish. Oh, and I put his litter box just outside the bathroom door. I hope he gets along with Rigsby and Morocco.

Mom told me that cats don't go for walks, but I wanna take Hollister for a walk and see how he likes being walked. Mom also said he's an indoor cat because he doesn't have his ear clipped. I told her I can clip his ear if that's all it takes, but she told me that's not how it works. I don't know how it works, so I guess for now, Hollister will stay inside to get used to his new home before I take him outside. Maybe he could help me scare away Sabrina's sad excuse of a dog since all Rigsby and Morocco do is hide out in my mom's room all day, those lazy cats.

Oh also, at school today, I started working on the sizes of the parts for my torture device. It has no name, but it's pretty cool, I'll tell you how it works. So there is a metal platform for a base and on that base, the victim will be standing. Their feet will be mailed or screwed securely to the base so they can't get out. Then, attached to that base will be a metal arm with the full range of motion as a human arm except this one will simply pull back in the opposite direction the victim is facing until it reaches the ground. Of course this means that the arm is behind the victim standing on the base and the end of the arm will have a metal clamp. The metal clamp will be inserted into the back of the victim's neck and will securely and directly grip their spine. This will of course be painful, which is the point. Then their arms will be chained together and the other end of the chain will be attached to a wall. The padlock will be within reach of the victim's tied hands, however the key will not. They must get out of the trap in two minutes in order to live, or else their spine will be torn straight out of their back, leaving them without support, and causing them to fall to the ground and bleed to death if they don't die immediately. I think it's pretty cool but I haven't told my mechanics teacher its purpose because I don't want him to tell me I can't make it.

Also, sorry for not putting in an entry yesterday. I had church and when I told my mom I didn't wanna go to church, she called me an unholy son of a bitch and locked me in the basement all day. I guess maybe she thinks I'm evil because of my hobbies, but I'm honestly not bad. I'm perfectly normal, I don't see why she's so upset. So what if I don't believe in God? I'm still a normal human being and I'm not evil.
