I saw the White Cleaver today


I saw the White Cleaver today.

I did not meet him, nor speak to him. It was only a fleeting glance, but it was enough.
I was in the second to last lesson of school, and I was bored out of my mind. I had finished reading the book that we were meant to be studying, and so my gaze drifted to the blackboard in search of interest.

I saw a flash. A glint of steel and glassy visor. I turned to my right, looking out the window, to see him standing there on top of the adjacent building, holding his scythe and leaning on it slightly. By the time my eyes registered the fact that he was there, he was gone again, lost to my sight.

I did not tell anyone. How could I? What would they say, if I told them that I saw a deadly fictional character?

I did not dwell about why he had been watching. It might not even be me that his eyes were on.
But afterwards, when the day was over, I went to the back of that building, a place where no-one visited anymore, and found strange evidence.
A chocolate bar wrapper. A car magazine. Even what looked like a cigarette!
I was surely not aware that a zombified Cleaver would have the need to eat. And surely he wouldn’t be reading magazines. But those items were there, none the less.

And so there was my sighting of the White Cleaver.

I was relieved, at the least, that the lethal figure had decided to stay on the roof of the building and not come any closer. Although, the distance between the window and the edge of the roof wasn’t that big. If anything, he could jump the gap right through the window.
Secretly, however, I wanted to know more about him. Wanted to meet him, and speak to him. I did not realise, however, that that would also happen very soon…




Hello Lenka. It is great to have you back. Or at least with the promise of a post a month.

  4. Sounds awesome Hellboy! It sounds like a cool experiance, I wish I saw the white cleaver :P



    I'm really sorry you weren't invited to the wedding, because of the timezones I hardly get to talk to you. It is my fault. I was in charge of the guest list, please forgive Kallista, it was my fault and my fault alone. I wanted the wedding when it was, if I had chosen a different date then maybe I would have realised. I'm really really really sorry Hellboy, but please believe it was not Kallista's doing, it was all mine. If you ever find it in your heart to forgive me, I'll be here. I give you my humblest appology. Your fanfic is epic and I should have taken more time over the guest list, instead of rushing it like I did. I hope you'll forgive me Hellboy. It was all my fault and I feel terrible about it.

  5. You were welcome at the wedding. Kallista is the kindest and most awesome person I've ever met, and she would never forget you. It's a long time since I've talked to you, and even with a photographic memory I still didn't remember. It's because I rushed it. I'm so stupid and I'm cursing myself every bad thing I can think of in my head for ever forgetting such an awesome author when I can remember everything. I just hope you forgive me for a mistake I made, you were very very welcome at the wedding Hellboy. If I could go in a time machine and rewind it all, I would do. Please forgive me. It was all my fault. I'm really really really really really sorry Hellboy.

  6. Instead of being angry at Kallista, who's fault is was not, please be angry with me if you are going to be. It was all my fault and Kallista shouldn't take the blame and be punished for something she didn't do. It was my job to sort out the guest list. I'm so sorry Hellboy, if you have any abusive comments then please leave them on my blog, I deserve them.

    ReplyDelete
  7. And before you start hating me. Please say sorry to Kallista. It was nothing to do with her, it was my fault and you were getting angry with her for something she didn't do. She at least deserves a sorry.

  8. To Hell with this.


    I am very sorry for being like this, Kal and Dragona.
    I am not normally so easily ticked off. I'm guessing it's just a lot of pressure placed on me at school right now. But even that's not really a good enough excuse.
    I should never have even brought up that I wasn't invited, instead just gone on and accepted that there were diff time zones.
    I should never have allowed you to say so many apolgies. I read them all, and yet stupid me still wanted to see more. And now it gets to a point where I really couldn't think of a reason to fight anymore. Looking back, I know that you are and always will be sweet, innocent Kallista and awesome, friendly Dragona. I am sorry, so sorry for bringing this all upon you.

    You both said words along the lines of 'If there's anyone who you should hate, it's me.'

    Like freakin' Hell it ain't! If there is absolutely ANYONE you should be frowning upon and receiving apologies from, it's ME! I was such a stubborn prick to even realise.

    I am deeply sorry for causing all of this. Now I shall grab some breakfast, eat the Hell out of it, and then go to school, feeling better that I (hopefully) still do not have a fight with two of my fav bloggers.

    I do not hate you. Not even close.

    Please, no more apologies. No 'it's all my faults'. Cause it wasn't your faults, and the need to apologize is freaking null and void.


    I hope to talk soon.

  13. Thanks for forgiving me Hellboy, it was a mistake I made and I'm really sorry about it. You were welcome at the wedding, but I haven't had to chat to you because of the timezones. I'm glad you and Kallista are OK again now.
    Btw, I have a new part of my zombie story up, the SECOND and FINAL part.

  17. OMG! Kallista, what happened?!? Tell me where and ill be there to beat the crap out of them...

    Lol jokes but seriously, I'm heading down to Derek's to see what's up. Whatever you might of said, or they said, or they are accusing u of saying, I'll stick up for u.

    I know that you'll be back on soon, it's almost 7 at your place.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Kallista, I am so sorry for what happened. That person was a total jerk.
    But please come back.


    I dont want to lose another friend.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Kallista. I have literally no time to type this. Get back to the blogs. Now.

    Dragona, your husband, is almost at the point of suicide.

    And that's no joke. He's scaring me, saying things like he can't promise that he won't do anything bad within the next week.I can't stop him, I cant get him to hold out for a couple of weeks, I can't do anything.
    He's saying things like 'I couldn't decide wether or not to drown myself or slit my own throat'.

    I don't know what's happening down your end. Just stop this madness, please!

  24. Hey Hellboy, Kallista told me to tell you about a program i do called project appleseed. Appleseed is a weekend long coarse in rifle marksmanship, and because of the program i can hit a man sized target at 500 yards with no rests, bio-pods or bags. i use only a military issued GI web sling. i shot the passing score on the AQT (army qualification test) last year in December and i also took the orange hat, which means i'm and instructor.
    jeez that sounds so boring, but trust me, its a lot of fun and very hardcore.

  25. ...why do you have a goatee?

    ReplyDelete
  26. ...and yes my rifle is pink, and right now i should be cleaning it :P

    ReplyDelete
  27. Epicly sick...you have a rifle?


    Damn, i haven't even fired a gun. That's so unfair lol! I want your rifle, regardless if it's pink!

    And do you have a license? Don't you need one to fire it?


    And how much did the rifle cost? What type of rounds does it use? Do you have a picture of what type of gun it is?


    LOL sorry, i am forever obsessed with guns.



    It's my dad's 50th bday party tonight, and so i'm helping heaps to try and get it all up and ready. There's going to be around 60 people there, so my dad and i have gotten a couple of our gazibos and set them up outside, added tarps, couches, seats, coffee tables, awesomeness, pink rifles and much much more to make it look great!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Unfortunately, the party was a sort of 'Adults only' one, with alcohol and all of that. I had to stay at a friends house last night.

    My dad says that it was good tho.

    ReplyDelete
  29. My Brother is obsessed with guns too :P
    Yes i have a rifle, i got it for my 13th birthday. It is a Rugar 10/22 with a synthetic stock that has been custom painted in pink digital camo. It costs about $100 US dollars (i dunno how much that is in Australian money :P), but is very reliable, it jammed majorly only once or twice. It's a .22 caliber and a box of ammo costs about 20 bucks, i'll run though maybe two boxes in an Appleseed weekend (a box has 550 rounds in it). It has a nice scope on, but my dad wants me to use iron or tech sights (fat chance, i love my scope)
    Technically my dad owns my rifle, but really that's only for legal crud. I don't need a license to shoot or anything, but i can't wander around on main street with it either (that's a no brainer)
    I'm (hopefully) going to be cleaning it later, so i'll take a few pictures and post them.
    My brother just said that i should mention that i shot ten rounds into a quarter (the coin) sized group at 25 meters when i haven't shot in two months, but that would be bragging, wouldn't it? ;)
    I think i answered all your questions....

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oops :/ my brother just pointed out my rifle is the Marlin 795 *hangs head in shame* they're so close i get them mixed up

  33. ARGH DAMMIT I POSTED A REALLY LONG COMMENT AND IT DIDNT WORK!!!?>?>!!l$*&^&@()$!!!






    Anyways, i pretty much said that your gun is EPICA AND SO AWESOME. And if the zombie apocalypse ever happens, i'm heading over to live with you and Deagle/Halo_pickle.

    Do you have a clip of ammo? Or does it load into an underbarrel? And how many bullets could fit, if so?

    100 US dollars is practically the same in AUD. And also, good work with that accuracy on that quarter sized target spot.



    Btw, i'm re-reading Mortal Coil, if anyone wants to know.

    ReplyDelete
  34. If the zombie apocalypse come i've got a AR-15 reserved for you ;)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I saw your comment on my blog, whos the spider?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Leo was on? AWESOME! I hate it when others either don't post or leave. It really pisses me off :P

    Nah jkes.

    Hmm, an AR-15, eh? Yes, it would be awesome.



    ....buuuuut......



    ...i think i would much rather this:

    OR this:

    :DDD


    and by the spider, i mean the shapeshifting one. At least, i think i know who it is. It might just be another child of the spider, but i was thinking that it's someone's O.C that most people know.

    And Kal, i just added that part yesterday. xD glad that you liked it. I also added the bit about 'Epica' underneath the title.

    And there's no hunting where i live. Heaps of our animals are protected, so no, you can't just go out there and hunt. But if you are, i think that most people just hunt rabbits (Australia hates rabbits. They were brought here from overseas and became a large infestation since).

    What was i talking about? Hmm.

    ReplyDelete
  37. aw.

    That's k Kal. Go to sleep! Rest! You'll need to be taking over the world tomorr- I mean learning school stuff tomorrow. Uh, yeah....
