My 21 year anniversary came and went this week. My intake was a few days before halloween. I recall nothing to mark the holiday that year except my own personal hell. I was in my own horrifying halloween nightmare.
So, I decided to face the Straight building this weekend for the first time in years....
Last time I drove by it, it gave me the creeps. It was intensly unsettling to say the least. When I saw the building that day...in my mind I was looking straight at evil itself. The building will always be a house of horrors in my mind.
When I was in the program...it seems to me once in awhile I'd hear stories of strange things that would go on at night in the building after the group left. I always wondered if it was haunted back then.
Now, I'm sure its haunted. That building is haunted by everyone that spent time there. The building holds a lot of pain within those walls. Screams come to mind, so does crying. And thousands of terrified thoughts of children praying for release from their torment.
I think of those who took their lives because of Straight with sadness and wonder...Do those lost souls still roam the halls of the building of their incarceration? It wouldn't surprise me at all.
To all of those who lost their lives because of Straight Inc...may your soul Rest In Peace!
As for the rest of us...may you put your demons to rest and find peace.[ This Message was edited by: nonconformistlaw on 2005-10-30 12:57 ]
