A House In Bridesburg To Take Over (A SHORT STORY By The 95)

A House In Bridesburg To Take Over

5:30 pm & my eyes open for the first time to reveal the last shock of daylight. I rub them to see my Finger nails were crusted with carpet fiber glue as if I were trying to dig through to the basement all night. I am in a house of a girl we call "Kate Is Great". She in fact is Not Great, But lends her name to a Bouncing souls song & If it Didn’t rhyme we might as well forget it altogether & call her chubby bitch from Bridesburg, which is what memory the song name triggers nowadays anyway. Kate was a girl who had a family living in bridesburg. she wore Marilyn Manson shirts & apparently had been to many of our parties before. I wouldn’t know this if not for my Video Tape Of Me interviewing her as one of the last souls awake & Then calling her a fucking mute freak. She Had a Father who had bad credit as most do. He had put the name of the bridesburg house Into Her Name. When Kate was around 19 His Cocaine & Drinking habit was a bit Out of control. which I only say because he had enough money to get him as high as he wanted. One night Miguell was sleeping over & The father came in Screaming Nigger at him, It was dark & although Miguell Was not, he carried on with his racism not willing to correct his hatred. Miguell climbed out the window & 3 months late Kate was the winner of a Legal custody battle & was Granted The House & a certain undisclosed amount of money each month. It was undisclosed because we were all pretty poor & Not above stealing or getting an unknown friend to steal & Pretend to hate him for it while reaping the benefits with him at tacobell.

One Summer there was a thing called COLLEGE FEST Down at the parkway. Sean Moran & I went down to see The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I may have well stayed home but it was free & their band has That Lil man who dances the whole time so he's worth watching for 30 mins. after the Night was over I met up with Jacki & Nina who had the Build of a greenbay Linebacker & Dated Chucky Bowlcut for a while. They invited us back to drink later & it turned out to be at This recently emancipated Minor's house named Kate. after that night we all became pretty Good friends. She played face To Face a lot of the stereo Which was Probley the only thing I can remember prominently about her. People came & People went But after a while Every party was Held at Kate is Great's House. went to the art museum invited some Indies back there, Moore had a Faux Prom, We invited a bunch of girls on Anti-depressants over to play "board games", cause them bitches love Nostalgia & Jeff Loved head. I-95 had a show we screamed over the PA System "AFTER PARTY IN BRIDESBURG AT KATE IS GREAT"S HOUSE" we informed The Directions later & That always Included "Hey well why don’t ya just pick me up & I'll Show ya" Which was a Surefire way of Skipping out on Septa. The parties were never good & The carpet always smelled funny & The Dog was an asshole But It was a house owned By an ugly girl who Didn’t talk much & we could get over on. One Night I was bored & wanted to Persuade her to let me fix up her kitchen so I started to Rip down The wallpaper while talking to her & Then Got Black Paint & wrote "95 MF" with a smiley. I went home shortly after & It became a thing to write allover the kitchen walls.

One day Kras called me at Kates house & asked Me If I Had been Promoting My bands show At Her school Hallihan. I told her no But I HAD been passing out flyers a Lil But not at her school. She went on about how she was eating Lunch & Over the Loudspeakers after The Talent show Announcement & before The Schools after-school reading clubs meeting was This 70 year old woman mentioning " Oh & for all you girls who are going to the I-95 show punk show tonight It will be starting at 8pm & Will be At The HP Club On Blah blah av So Be Safe & Have fun" I started laughing So loud & telling everyone. Kras was so mad saying how she Didn’t want any of those girls there. about 9 Years later I still Could never figure Out How Or Why The school decided to make that Announcement. Maybe cause some Heads were talking about us or they wanted to try to Fit in with the Girls, I don’t know. But at the time I talked it over with the Band & Sean (our Drummer) was so happy that there were Gonna be sooo many girls There (since it was an All girls school). He started talking about "Big Breaks" & "Followings" Words I-95 has never even thought of. He went on about how this "Promo" could really Get us mainstream. I started to get sick to my stomach & realized none of this could be good. I was a Pop Song writer & Jeff was very normal & Cute & we could easily be thrown Into a genre with Good charlotte & Simple Plan. Granted we weren’t true PUNK ROCK I still had more of that Mentality Then The Loudest Crust punk bands In The Area. before the show Jeff & I started drinking & This is the One story of an I-95 show I can say That He & I were Not In The Least bit Drunk. Just had a bottle of wine & when we came into The HP club, opening band the chickpeas were Supper Happy about The PROMO & all That LINGO Sean Ward was Spewing out. They Played & During The show Jeff & I had seen Slews Of Pre-Pubescent Girls Hurdling in, Some STILL In Uniform. but the Angsity ridden faces Gave them away as if when they paid the door man, a mosh pit would break out & They’d get Crowd Surfed into a Smokey backstage area , force fed Liquor & Raped, or even worse a mosh pit might separate them from their friends. They just thought of all the horrible Warnings they parents gave them & what they seen on TV . They bundled Thoughts of RAVES, German Goth Clubs, & pantera & Pearl Jam Videos all Up Into This One Show.. an I-95 show. After the Peas had a Small child Pleasing set Hojo Introduced us as "the band everyone been waiting for .. I-95" Jeff, Sean & I came out to a roar Of CAT Calls & Woo's The same Woo's I heard at their Dances id taken kras to. I stood up to the mic & explained to the audience a Tragic thing that has happened Today a "catholic school has announced Our show" So I had a message & while Sean & Jeff started playing a Lil intro I began telling the audience "If you are here tonight to see Simple Plan, Get Out, If you are here To see a cute Bass Player GET OUT, If you are here cause it sounded FUN GET OUT, If You don’t wanna get kicked in the fucking Face GET OUT, We Are not Pretty , We Do NOT want your applause, Their Will be People Going into The Backs & Hitting Girls who are Not Moving, I will pick out everyone who Is here for a POP band & POINT you out To leave. Get the fuck out " It actually made a lot of the Girls leave Right at that Moment & Stirred up a Round a Laughing & clapping , Mainly by Kras & friends. We played 2 of our heaviest Death metal songs Just to make sure Everyone who wasn’t there for the right reasons left. Then we played I want to work at taco bell which was truly made for 12 year old girls to sing. But all in all the show was a laugh & our Reputation Went nowhere. That had no affect on us as a Band at all. After the show we all Went band to Kate is Greats house & that’s When The Real Drinking GOT Done.

Jeff meanfish got there with Me First. He & I had been destroying & Owning that house for the past 4 Months. There was a moth when I would get to the house at 12 Before Kate would leave for work & I'd wait for Jeff to Take the Bus down , & Once a week he would Come With a New Weapon he'd Bought. we'd play video games But mainly Just Listen to music. One Morning he Bought a Mini Cross Bow. we went straight to work & blasted Cock sparer pretending to HUNT cats & Then Actually Shooting them With the Cross Bows. after a while a got a few & We laid down to watch TV Jeff was fucking with The thing & He pulled a Safety Out & Shot it & It Pierced Through The Drywall. We Just started Crazily Laughing & Saying OH MY GOD, This could fucking Injure Somebody. So we set out To Hunt The cats again but after 30 Mins we couldn’t find One & Gotten bored & Broke The Cross Bow. If we Had found a cat we would have been involved In Something I couldn’t talk about now seeing how Greg Is involved In Arresting people of That Nature.
But That’s Just Jeff & I & We were Together Planning for this Party, Downloading Great songs & Drinking Heavily. People started showing up & People started leaving, but most had no faces & were of no importance to a conversation of Stallone Movies & Bottles of beer & My interrupting of How Sally Field Rocked In Steel Magnolias. after the House Was In Full Party Situation Kate Put on face to Face & I was Wrecked out of my mind.

(After this Point of the Story Is all 2nd hand Memories Up Until The Point Where The Bowling Ball Is Thrown, That’s when I sobered up a Lil)

people Pushing, Men smelling, shoes Off, Not one person had a drink that differed from BUSH BEER. sometimes there were just parties like that. I was lying around a Kitchen partition & Screaming about Something when I decided to Get Up & Announce My Trip to the Bathroom & told everyone that it was going to be a Long journey & I was man enough to accept the fate. There was a line of 2 People Waiting for the Bathroom So I Came Back & Told Jeff That I could do Nothing But Try to Trick them Out of wanting to Pee. Instead he offered Me To Just Pee Into The Red Silo cup in the corner. I did just that & almost filled it to the top, Jeff Took the cup from my hands & Had an amazing plan in mind. He took the cup of piss & Poured about a teaspoon of beer into it & Placed it Into the freezer while everyone watched. about an hour & a half later He Told me That Jacki , a blonde girl he hated just mainly to hate had said Something like, "she thinks the red hot chili peppers just bite off limp biskit & Feminism is for pussies" so I, being as drunk as I were, walked towards her & that turned into a jog, which turned Into a quick run Witch ended up with Me Bulldoging her & Flipping over & In turn Spilling her beer all over . she screamed at me & I moved on with no actual Words of substance. 2 mins later Jeff had told me I should apologize cause he made that Up & so I did & he Got out the ice cold up of PissBeer & Handed it to me almost dripping & foaming over. I managed to walk it over to her without spilling it at all. I tapped her on the shoulder & slurred "sorry" I gave her the beer & she was grateful & Said Thanks Mike. She put The cup up to her lips & I Looked into the kitchen, There was a crowd Of Men standing Completely still Staring Into The pallor. Some with Fist clenched but mainly with Mouths open wide & in Awe. She Began To Gulp down This Cup.

-------------------------- THIS IS A BREAK IN THE STORY---------------------------------

most people would say Fuck That, Nobody would Gulp a cup of Piss. I would know & all that shit, but Truly When yr at a shitty Party & Your buzz is wearing off & a fat kid Bulldogs you spilling all kinds of shit on you, You’ve been drinking Piss warm beer (excuse The PUN) all night long & someone hands you an Ice cold cup Of anything, Your Gonna Gulp & Hope you Get so drunk you do realize the Smell & annoying people talking to you. although .... it IS Urine.....

--------------------------Back to the story--------------------------

Sooooooo She Gulped. She almost gulped ½ of the CUP Until There was an UPROAR Of Screaming coming from the kitchen & I yelled No grabbing the cup & spilling the rest all over her. The Crowd Suddenly got Silent & Jeff alone scream "YOU JUST DRANK PISS BITCH!!!" & EVERYONE JUST Bust out again, she pushed me outta the way & ran upstairs To do whatever someone Might do when Drinking a ½ cup of Urine. I later talked to her & she actually was cool cause "I would never do that to her" & Took it pretty well, Our Friend Ray Came Over that we aint seen in a while He & Jessie are amazing people But ray had been doing alotta coke which we weren’t used to .. While the party settled down a gigantic Crash drew us outside & the screaming started while the Neighbors gathered. Someone had Thrown a Bowling Ball Threw The Back of a Car Window. noone knew who’s car so Everyone Anger was Purely empathy for who’s it MAY have been & That made The Neighbors arguments sound VERY funny to us. Since Ray Was the Pigeonholed "COKEHEAD" which was the hardest drug done at that party People Started point fingers at him. so he did what anyone would have done, started Offering people out to fight & screaming While Jesse held him back. The Cops Were called so everyone Moved Through The House to The BackYard, which was the 7-11 parking lot I came out & someone was telling Ray He was going to Have to pay for that car window . Ray was Screaming Saying "your going to put me In jail!" Then started to frantically Point at his Arm & said Your taking food away from this , "This is what I live for" Point again at his arm . "Your taking food away from her!" Point at his arm again everyone sorta started backing up thinking they Didn’t know what kinda crazy they were dealing with , I thought it was heroin But We LATER found out amidst the scribble he called tattoos was His Daughters name "Ashley" so it all gave us a Big Laugh, Ray was put on The 73 Bus & quickly departed before the cops came.


The Party sucked anyway so the excitement was fun for a few mins & then after a trip To Sev With Collin a few of us seen a weird fuckin helicopter but it looked more like a 40'ies type car, But all Long & flat as if it were crushed a Lil . It landed pretty quick in the Roman Haus Chemical Plant, I got Collin (the singer of rekant who lived round the corner & had always gone round the haus plant), Greg Jordan & Tim. We all walked over cause their seemed to still be a small glow around there. when we cleared the trees round the Lil chemical river We seen It. It was HUGE & looked Kinda Metal But Not Huge as in Tall, It was Just about 20 feet Wide & about 22 Feet Long But only about 4 Inches Off the Ground. It had sort of a Light Blue Hue to it witch scatters of White Blending, as if it were made to camouflage with a rainy day sky. & I guess we seen it cause it was dark & all The steam from the Chemical plant Made it a bit visible. It started to Vibrate a lot & make a small Humming noise immediately Tim. & Collin said "yo this is fuckin dumb were leaving" & covered their fear with ignorance. Greg Moved closer & kinda waved his Hand over it, The machine made a Purring noise & settled down the hum. Greg started to pet it a Lil & I moved close & said "hey jigga what up?" & Then the Machine Levitated about 3 inches off The Ground & knocked us Back into the rocks. It had no visible Legs or Lifting Mechanisms. We were about to run But Greg Got his Leg caught In a small branch & seen a weird looking snake, It was slimy & red speckled with a yellow & Green Hue, He screamed & The Big blue Machine moved a few inches & Hovered above the snake & came down on it hard. Greg was relived & a Lil scared since this gigantic moving machine was so close to him, I grabbed him & we started walking away When we heard the deep voice of a man say "hey where are you going" I turned around quickly & said " Yo Collin where you at!?" & then the machine vibrated once again & Then spoke, "its me" Greg pointed & said YO it’s the machine.. So he asked "What’s your name" , It answered "Goldin neverstone" what a strange name So we told it ours & asked what it was , He told us That he studied the English language & that was the Most beautiful combination Of Letters.... That was actually Pleasing to the ear & Had later found out it was 2 Minerals & a Word That meant not at all; absolutely not ,to no extent or degree. We were amazed & Afraid at the same time. "who Built You" we said. He answered That He was More so Born then Built as our language is considered. He began to tell us Where he comes from was a Place WATCH OUT he screamed so we ducked & a Shock of slime Passed By My ear & began to Burn Goldin he Stood Twenty feet High & Flipped Onto This 4 Foot Thing That looked to me Like a grown up placenta but with skin. Goldin Crushed The whole Bottom Half But It was still shooting slime. Goldin acted Like a Shield to us & Then Just With all His weight & 20 feet with Fell Onto The Thing & crushed it. we screamed WHAT WAS THAT ... he told us it was a Googoodaba. We asked if this power plant had been Creating monsters like This & He told us No no for godsake your Eyes are Just perceiving This as They In This 2nd Plain of existence. I asked ... So you mean what we’ve been living is kinda like fake & The 2nd plain is reality? Goldin went on to explain that the 2nd plain is the Plain That He Knows & Is Comfortable with & Could & probably are Thousands more But He can work between both Your Plain & Mine. Greg & I took a seat On the rocks beside him, as the river started to well up & really Feel the words more then We ever could. See In your world There are Movies But Going Back to 200 B.C. China There were things called Thaumatrope's which were mechanical devices using persistence of vision. Later in 1834 was a thing called The phenakistoscope (also called the fantascope) . It was a disk with a series of radial slots placed around its circumference. drawings showing successive phases of action, viewed through the slits as the drum or disk turned, were seen so quickly that the images merged in the mind to produce the sensation of motion. More of a Modern equivalent to movies Came The Zoetrope. using the principle of the slit and series of visible images were popular in the early and mid-1800s, with projectors and other refinements appearing after 1860. The zoetrope appeared in 1864 (it was sold by Milton Bradley for $2.50). The show was short and these devices were regarded more as amusements than serious entertainment. Greg asked so your saying infront of our eyes is some sort of Projected Drawing or Image. Goldin replied to him, sort of & as I See It is as crude as a tinting process In early 1895 by your famous Edison. Your brains have been perceiving these images & This Plain ever since you were IN existence. If Taken away from you , As I have done , Your eyes cannot Adjust to The Intricacies & detail of an 2nd plain. working together The Retina, lens, iris, conjunctive, sciera, & Cornea, You would need A fumar, a tinibracket & an entire System of Lafayette conjunctures . Think of February 17th when they convert TV's from Antenna to Satellite... actually That has nothing to do with anything But isn’t it a crazy idea? Like common should people get Nothing for free anymore? Anyway On my plain Bridesburg Is One of the Few Cracks in The Universe Where I Usually stand Gaurd, The earth as you see it as Solid/liquid Iron core, lower/upper Mantle's & the asthenosphere Toped off by the Lithosphere. It is simply all Hollow & filled with Life ,car-parts, bottles and cutlery. These were all Just Living inside the earth & Their had been access here. Only few things can get through the opened & Since Im So Silm I fit right through & I kind of stand guard here. That’s awesome Greg said. He started to tell use stories of Time travel & To watch out for Bumblefas. he told us that they were like Polar Bears & Bumble Bees , separate Entities But they form Bumblefas when together. he said how they are his only enemy besides man. I asked him About Time Travel & he told me that it was a subject for another night. He told us how he was glad to meet us & How we were nice boys & That he will be sending with us Protection everywhere we go. we asked him what kind of protection & he informed Us that we will one day be contacted to time travel & help him when the earths crust gets too thin.

On the walk back to Kates house Greg & I stopped into seven -11 & got sodas. we both went into the house & sat on the couch , Jeff meanfish walked down the stairs & everyone started Screamingggg HA HA HA, he sat down next to us & looked as Dazed & Out of it as We were. we wondered if he seen goldin neverstone as well somhow? But then Jeff hojo came over & Screamed with his Slurred Lisp., ewww you just fucked her? & He just stared looking more depressed as I’ve ever seen him, I asked him who’d you fuck? & He reply’d without even looking over "jacki" . Greg said .... eww she just drank pee pee.....
