All I do is lay down.

Lay down,

and go down.

Dig down,

and find down.

Head down.

What is there there?

What is there here?

Is there a thing at all?

I think there is not.

-Lev

Sometimes I wonder if there is even a school here at all.

Aren't I alone in the world?

There is nothing here.

The buildings are dilapidated, and I hear ghostly voices in the day and night. Cracks and seams and filled in with dirt and grass. Vines on the walls and broken glass. The voices shout in happiness or oddness or questioning, "What are you doing?"

"Looking for people."

They mumble again, and I go on through the hall.

I stumble toward the wall on the end.

After some hacking away at the structure, I break through and jump.

I tumble and shrink and form and deform.

The air gets dusty. The trees get higher. The sky switches colors.

I hear a scream and a shout and one more in distress.

After a moment of rest, I shout up to them. "Why are you troubled?"

I head back to my dorm room.

There is no one.

No one except me...

...and my mind.

-Lev

I don't have an explanation.

Those last pages...were uncalled for.

I'm coming back now, albeit rather slowly.

My mind frightens me more than I think, or than others think.

It's hard to imagine again the fears and paranoia after they happen.

Even I know that. Even I know that they are a figment of my mind.

Only after they happen...

I wish it wasn't only then.

-Lev

I have aches in my brain.

They convulse like violent waves

and make my head shake and pound.

I can't concentrate;

my vision is getting blurry.

I no longer know where I am,

who am I?

Stop.

Start.

Radios blare and static cracks while my head spins and vomits on the ground.

The waves

of anything

rip open my skull

and feed it to a hungry beast.

Heaving, breathing, screaming,

I look into its eyes,

and notice

it is me

who has turned inside out

and forced a skull

down my throat.

I swallow and smile

and dream of more darkness

as my head aches again.

My whole dorm room is slowly falling apart, I think.

My shelves are in disarray, almost as if they've just been moved slightly. The aroma of some of my spell bottles seem...off. My bed creaks for no reason, and I have paranoid thoughts about something coming to harm me. Something is inside my room, but I cannot see it.

A ghost? Never. The astral beings wouldn't do something like this to me.

A demon? Probably not. My pacts with them and deeds for them should be enough to qualm their thirst for my soul.

Any other invisible spirit-like entities are highly unlikely to disrupt me.

What is causing this, then?

My paranoia is causing me to go berserk about this. I must find out before it causes me to do something rash.

-Lev

My camera broke today.

Last I remember it was perfectly intact! I cleaned it and checked it for cracks daily! There's no way it could have broken while just sitting in my dorm.

Although...yesterday, I did take a picture of a fairy circle outside in a beautifully constructed garden.

I'm not usually one for odd suspicion, but I think maybe the picture had something to do with my camera breaking.

I don't use it much anyway, except for research. I guess it doesn't matter. I'll just make a new one.

-Lev

Not even my scrying mirror is helping me with this predicament.

The elements are important to my studies. Not having one of them in an immediate area is unsettling. More so, it makes me feel sick to my stomach. The natural rightness of the planet's composition is incredibly important to ensure comfort and focus.

My crystals are dulling in power as well. Especially the lead in the area helps restore energy to them. Finding that there was no lead in the on-campus area was very...

...unnerving.

-Lev

DISCREPANCIES OF ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION
31 May 2015
QUESTION: Is there a change in the elemental composition of Earth's crust near the Psychic High School campus?
HYPOTHESIS: Some elements near the school seem to be different and lesser in quantity.
EXPERIMENT:
Percentages of samples of elemental composition off-campus:
Oxygen: 47.0
Silicon: 28.0
Aluminum: 8.1
Iron: 5.0
Calcium: 3.6
Sodium: 2.8
Potassium: 2.6
Magnesium: 2.1
Others: 0.8
Lead: 0.0014
Percentages of samples of elemental composition on-campus:
Oxygen: 44.0
Silicon: 28.0
Others: 12.0
Calcium: 5.9
Aluminum: 3.0
Sodium: 2.4
Iron: 2.1
Potassium: 2.1
Magnesium: 0.5
Lead: 0
CONCLUSION:
The elements are different near the campus. The reasoning of this is unknown. The effects of this is unknown.

The astral beings are exceptionally roused with me.

They did not explain why the lead was gone.

I'm beginning to think some otherworldly power is affecting the elemental composition of certain areas.

Soon I will construct a public investigation about the differences in the composition of the Earth.

-Lev

Where has the LEAD gone?

I searched hours yesterday near the school and abandoned buildings nearby but found none whatsoever.

Lead is a purposeful and plentiful element of the world, so how could it be gone?

The universe is working against me; I swear it.
