| 5 Day Mini Challenge #4 - The Bermuda Triangle Andre says he once drove to the Bermuda Triangle and doesn't recall having any unusual experience there. He did report the feeling that he was missing the memory of a little time that passed while he was there, around 36 hours. I believe that vodka may have played a role in Andre's missing time. Still, the reputation of the area leads one to ponder the reasons for the many stories. What's the Secret of the Bermuda Triangle? Unless you've never been near a drugstore paperback rack and don't surf cable channels late at night, you've undoubtedly heard of the Bermuda Triangle, aka the Devil's Triangle. It's an area of water between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda that, according to pop mythology, contains some sort of malevolent force that causes ships, planes, and people to disappear, never to be seen again. Some have put the blame on extraterrestrial invaders capturing humans for study, on inter-dimensional vortices, and even on oceanic flatulence (methane gas erupting from ocean sediment) The secret of the Bermuda Triangle isn't really a secret at all. It is an oubliette created by the civilization which had also built Atlantis. It is a dungeon created to hold the Titans. What happens is, when the Titans become hungry, the top of the oubliette opens and sucks in whatever unlucky things happen to be in the roughly 1,250,000 square mile area. The power of the suction is such that it even pulls down planes from the sky. When the top of the oubliette opens, a thick fog surrounds the area in order to keep the Titans inside and also has the effect of throwing both oceanic vessels and planes off their course, a feature that ensures more of a likelihood to bring in decent fodder to feed the monsters. The mechanism which opens the portal operates on such a frequency that it renders all compasses unable to be used and has been known to short-out the circuitry of devices like pacemakers. Few people and vessels have made it out of the Bermuda Triangle when the portal device is engaged. An increase in documentation of the mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle in within the last one-hundred years can be attributed to modern communication technology.  |
Jan. 12, 2022 Day 3 of the 5 Day Mini Challenge Prompt:The Curious and Mysterious Disappearance of Lord Lucan Lord Lucan, who vanished in 1974 following the murder of his children's nanny. Will we ever know what happened to him? Soon before 10 pm on 7 November 1974, Lady Lucan, hysterical and blood-covered, burst into The Plumbers Arms in Belgravia, London. She was screaming about the murder of her children’s nanny and that she had barely escaped with her life. What’s more, she named her estranged husband, Richard John Bingham, Earl of Lucan, as the attacker. How it went down: Lucan had been spying on his estranged wife for months in an attempt to find evidence of her having a mental illness so he might gain custody of his children. On the night in question, Lucan's wife, Veronica, invited him into the house to discuss the private detectives he had hired to follow her around. When he entered the home, the first person he came across was the nanny, Sandra Rivett. She was dead on the floor of the basement, her body placed in a canvas bag. Later the police would determine that a pipe had been used to bludgeon her to death. Lucan ran from the scene and attempted to wake one of the neighbors. Veronica took this chance to further frame her estranged husband and placed a pipe similar to the one she used to kill the nanny in the trunk of his car. Then Veronica runs to the Plumbers Arms with the story that her husband had killed the nanny and attacked her; while in reality, Lady Lucan had bludgeoned the nanny with the pipe and Sandra had fought back, injuring Veronica. Lady Lucan then contacted the police and told them the fantastical story she had concocted to pin the murder on Lucan, which was her plan all along. Lucan, realizing she was accusing him of the deed, ran to his friend's where he wrote letters to his friends Bill and Michael as well as an additional one covering financial matters on a notepad which he then placed in his trunk. The media was quick to blame him for the debacle although not all the evidence pointed at him. In his effort to escape prosecution for something he did not do, he attempted to call in a favor from some shady characters from his gambling days. Instead of helping him escape, they killed him and dumped his remains in the foundation of a new building that was being erected in a nearby township. And that is why he has not been seen since... or is it? |
