Things I Learned from Mothman


1. You can repeatedly bash someone's head in with a rock and no one will ask questions.

2. The city is so small that there is no coroner who could clearly see that the drowning happened before the multiple blunt force trauma blows to the scull.

3. Killing your friends brother makes you more of a bitch and you will absolutely not feel bad at all.

4. You think it's perfectly socially acceptable to tell a girl who's got a current/modern hair style that you will "make them look better" even though you look like you just stepped out of a Bangles/Pat Benatar music video [or even] a hooker out of Working Girl [old 80's movie].

5. As the "Mothman Buff" knowing that the mothman can get you through reflective surfaces, you proceed to think it's a perfectly good idea to live in a home that couldn't be more reflective if you bedazzled the inside and outside like it was a disco ball.

6. After killing your brother, and not feeling bad about it at all, you can turn into an alcoholic and absolutely no one will notice.

7. Six gun shots will sound like a pop gun through a closed door.

8. You can shatter a glass into tiny dime sized shards and it will magically repair itself and/or magically float in the air and all of them will stab you.

9. It takes 3 police cars to respond to gunshots yet the bar inside and out is empty.

10. Somehow a person can slice themselves ribbons and gouge out their own eyes and write mothman in blood, and someone will think they did it themselves.

11. Not only do you not feel bad 10 years after killing your husbands little brother and smashing his head in with a rock to cover your own @$$ but you don't feel bad at all and you aren't worried that your husband my have just died. In fact, you're more worried about yourself.

12. Despite the fact that you witnessed the mothman coming out of 2 mirrors that you smashed, you get in a car oblivious to the fact you have side mirrors, a rear view mirror, and glasses on.

13. There is a very bright light randomly set in the woods and perfectly positioned to make your car look eerier/creepier to perfectly show off the blood that is splattered in your car.

14. A blind man can somehow get miles and miles outside of town without a ride/car.

15. It's perfectly acceptable to shoot at people without announcing your intentions.

16. A blind man can behead and skin/demuscle a horse head without help.

17. Despite having a double barrel shotgun and only shooting once, you somehow need to remove not one but BOTH shells that are somehow empty.

18. Moths sound like birds when they fly off suddenly and are startled.

19. The Mothman hates phones. He doesn't want you to use them, it's rude. Especially when he wants to kill you. So he screws with the reception.

20. A TV is reflective enough to allow the mothman to come through, but the glass in your car isn't.

21. Even though you've already driven away from the rear view mirror you threw out of a car, it still tries to crawl out to get you.

22. Lining a coffin in mirrors with no glue in 1777 is totally possible despite the fact that modern mirrors as seen in the movie were not widely available until 100 years later and were very expensive. It also took the whites 3 years [from their settlement in 1774] to kill Chief Cornstalk.

23. Point Pleasant is the only land in North America never to be occupied by Indians. Ever. Period.

24. Once a stupid, selfish b*tch, always a stupid, selfish b*tch. Despite the fact that 4 of your friends died, you are still more worried about your mirrors [in your crappy salon] and who's gonna pay for them.

25. You know the baddy comes through reflective surfaces, you even found the blood smeared "remains" of your buddy all over his reflective camper, you proceed to lean against it casually.

26. The only way to get out of a Cadillac with it's top down is out the door that just so happens to be stuck shut.

27. Despite having told your friends to meet you to do a ritual to save your collective worthless behinds, you shut the one way inside which means they have to get in is through a reflective surfaced door.

28. There is NEVER, and I repeat EVER a flashlight that works.

29. Cutting out your eyes with two pieces of glass makes you look as if you have terrible burns all over your face.

30. Cutting yourself on the chest after two other people never mind the fact they could possibly have AIDS or some other communicable disease without disinfecting the knife is a good idea.

31. Take the advice of a blind dude who's never done a ritual as the truth. Don't try and research it. At all. Just go do it. Never mind the fact it probably does nothing, or does the exact opposite of what he says it will.

32. Somehow the effective range of buckshot in a shotgun is 500+ feet. Yet you don't manage to hit your friends standing between you and your intended target.

33. Teenagers got falling down drunk in the early afternoon in the 50's and enjoyed beating up mail boxes and killing little boys.

34. You call your father The Mayor, not father. [He said the little boy was his brother, and the little boy was the mayors son].

35. Shotguns have no recoil.

36. Shotguns have an endless supply of shells in them.

37. Somehow the kids of the kids of people who covered up a crime and pinned it on you are guilty of "crimes" committed by their parents.

38. Even if you don't look the Mothman in the eye when you kill him [and that is the only way he can take your soul is looking him in the eye] you can become him.

[I happen to think the kid was just crazy and imagine her having red eyes.
