Residents of Trojan Hall have reported more sightings today of the
character they call "The Self-Talker." The last time he was seen was yesterday,
when he perused the hallways of Trojan Hall, forcefully entering dorm rooms, and
talking about himself. Today, he seems to be up to the same antics.
"My roommate and I were playing a round of Army Ops across the
LAN, when this guy appears out of nowhere, invites himself into our room, and
starts talking about his personal problems," reported Samuel, a resident of
Trojan Hall. "I don't mind a guy getting to meet people, but really, he could
have introduced himself first."
But Sam wasn't alone. Kelley, who resides at 837 Trojan Hall,
right next door to Sam, was also attacked by the loquacious fiend. "He seemed
like an alright guy, I guess. There's just a limit to how much you can hear
about someone's girlfriend and still care."
Other residents were not so
forgiving. One called the LAPD after being accosted in the hallway. A transcript
from the 911 call reads: "This 911, how can we help you? Yes? Calm down, sir.
You say there's a man who attacked you? What do you mean 'not exactly'?
Indecent? Okay, we'll send someone right ov-- It's okay, sir, we're right on it.
Just finish your ricecake and settle down." When asked about his experience,
however, the student wouldn't comment, but did spill crumbs on himself in the
act of remembering his trauma.

Still, it's a good thing he called. Since the report, the LAPD
has searched through its archives to find a trail of self-talking crimes. They
all began, according to the report, two years ago with the entrance of the class
of 2006. These reports seem to occur only during semesters and only when
students live on campus. Similarly, long stretches of several days have gone by
without a reporting, which officers attribute to "vacation days" for the
fiend.
But the question on residents' minds is "Will he strike again?"
"Frankly, we don't care," replied LAPD President Manuel Rosales. Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. Powered by AkoComment 1.0 beta 2 |
