El muerto

This is my latest drawing. Theresa is the one in the middle. On her sides are her daughters. They have the purple hair, a particularity of the Ghost people: they are basically elves who excel at "ghost walking" and that is only another name for astral projections... I must confess: the stuff I can't do, I reflect it on my books.

When I was doing my pH.D. my former girlfriend was kind into this (she got an aunt who was capable of "witchcraft"), so sometimes, they went and practice meditation and stuff like that. I tried and I tried, but my mind is too noisy, or I just give up and go to sleep, but I remember once, that I was dreaming, and on that dream, I found myself outside my parent's house. I remember that it was a clear fresh night, and everything was so vivid: the noises, the feeling, even the smells. And the only thing that I couldn't move was my body... my head was coming out from the street, other than that, it truly was like if I was really there.

But that time, it just happened. I was not even planning on doing it, and I have never done it again.

If you search into the subject, the whole idea seems illogical and completely made up. If you ask some other people about it, their own explanations don't add up, and science consider it as a pseudoscience... and you also have your usual schemer trying to make money out of it (but hey! not me, I am just a poor writer trying to use this same concept to add different facets onto my books)

By the way... the title of the post...

Last post I was talking of the bad dead guys... Let me try to explain it...
You are sleeping without a worry, then your whole consciousness is suddenly aware that something bad is about to happen. The first indication of such event happens when you hear the steps... something or someone is coming to get you. The second indication is that you are completely terrified and can't wake up, it would seem that you are caught into a drowsy numbness. The third indication (if you fail to wake up) is when you feel your fucking bed moving. You can also hear the springs being pushed down, this is the last step and when the muerto finally climbs on top of you... It is a terrible experience.

My grandma, and my mother tell me that you need to say lots of cursing to this evil entity. I have learnt that your best option is to force yourself to wake up when you are hearing the steps or when you start feeling unable to move, and for the entity: it really is an evil entity, there are no words for trying to explain that pure evilness. And you have science trying to explain this strange phenomenon, the last thing I heard, was that your mind tries to wake up but your body doesn't follow (or some shit like that), but the feeling of terror that you finally get is something that, I believe, can't be explained by (our current) science... funny thing that this appears to happen since ancient times, and on many different cultures..

For me, these guys, are the bad guys... perhaps tormented people who love to fuck (or try to fuck) with us, the living dudes... I don't know.

There are many things that I have experienced, and I can't explain with science, perhaps because we don't really know all the answers. I prefer to keep an open mind.

Hope you get a nice good sleep tonight, and pro tip... if you are constantly cursed with such beings... I have found that blessing your home with water and salt is a good reliable option.

First... let me show you guys my freaking new books ... which are pretty cool Me and my family bought some of them, I gotta tell you that these are way better than the "proof" books, perhaps they put more effort when the customers are "real".  I was pretty happy when they arrived, so happy that I continued my second book, well, that and the fact that I have a little more time for the writing.  We are in Tlaxcala, another state in Mexico... it's really cold and windy, but the panoramics are something wonderful. This is my real job, we are specialists in mechanical vibration analysis, so we go and check different machines, and we also give a technical training to analysts... I lied to you guys, I am not really an author, If I were, I would already be dead of starvation or something. The Tlaxcaltecas were an indigenous tribe in Mexico, they were paying tribute to the triple alliance ( Mexicas, Texcoco, and Tlacopan )... Indigenous tribes in Mexico ...
These are the female elfs, I was going to draw her nude, but... some people can get offended, everybody gets offended for almost anything nowadays... On Facebook, I am promoting my book. One dude did put some partially nude  females and some women immediately retaliated, they were accusing this dude and his pictures of being sexist...The funny thing in this situation is that we males, drawing these kind of pictures, are consciously or sub consciously  loving the idea of some scantly dressed fantasy woman appearing in our dull and boring realities. What is the problem with that? We are males, we love to see almost naked ladies, almost naked and fit ladies, I mean, it is printed in our genes; we are constantly looking for female healthy individuals. If we project that into our everyday life style, do we need to be condemned? In the last post I was going to talk about my love-hate relationship with ants. In Mexico, we have these everywhere: When I was little, I though...

The real Narco Mexico

These are some of the different classes of Saurians . The Trackers have enhanced senses of smelling, hearing, and seeing. They are widely used in Saurian patrols to pursue or locate their enemies.  Changelings can "transform" into their enemies (provided, these don't have great smelling senses, or magical traps). Changelings are used as infiltrators; their job is to sow panic and chaos behind enemy ranks. Fighters or Soldiers tend to be shorter, bulkier, but stronger. They can't move swiftly as the previous classes, instead, they are fighting masters, and are the most resilient of them. They are an important faction in my book: Magika Scientifica B1: Tainted Sun   As you can see, I did use some delimiting line to mark them... it is really hard to just drop that thin black line... so... mea culpa, mea culpa. By the way! Happy holidays and etcetera . The real great thing about these holidays is that the family gets together, and you can infect ot...
