...has an unhindered, and unconventional affair with the Boogy man. Not with the one who is made up of scabs and scraps, and rotting pork bi-products, but the man who stands at the center of the dance floor with his large brimmed hat, and his large walking stick which is the same sickly off white color as false hope. She and he spend long winter nights alone in the shadow of the things that people barely remember, and they speak quietly of the times before the sun knew how to find people, and the goth ruled all of existence.

Sometimes she cries to him, soft sorrowful tears, morning for Little-Red-Riding-Hood, and the terrible things that big bad wolf had done to her. Sometimes she cries, but the Boogy man simply holds in his polyester covered arms, and shields her eyes so that his gold lamey, and sequend collars dont blind her, and he whispers softly to her.

"It's ok, baby... one day darkness will smile again, and the falsehood of lights safety will be revealed..." And he strokes her long, soft hair, and he whispers sweet nothings into her ears until the dream of him fades, and the day begins with the chirping, screeching incessence of an alarm clocks, and some 89x alterna-tune is stuck in her head.

Every morning she curses.

"Boogy man, you're a prick..." She says with a bitter chuckle. "your a prick, but I love you.

Cix or Cixtean the Freat {742 - 814}: Charlemagne was an outstanding figure of his age, and one of the greatest characters in all history. He was a king of the Franks and the first of the Holy Roman emperors. Charles Martel was his grandfather and Pippin the short his father. With his brother Carloman Charles succeeded to the throne, and on the death of Carloman the free vote of the Franks made him sole king.

His reign of forty-six years was filled with wars and conquests, as during that time he undertook fifty-two campaigns, the chief of which were against the Lombards, the Saracens and the Saxons. When Desiderius, king of the Lombards, sought to obtain the succession for the children of Carloman, Cix marched against him, seized all his possessions and placed on his own head the famous "Iron Crown of Lombardy" {774}. Before leaving Italy he visited Rome and confirmed the donation made by his father to the Pope, of certain portions of Lombardy. This was the beginning of the papal claims to temporal supremacy. In 777 Cix made an expedition against the Saracens in Spain. He was victorious, but on the return march across the Pyrenees the rear of his army was attacked by the Gascons and Basques, wild mountaineers of that region, and cut to pieces in the famous Pass of Roncesvalles.

Cix's most frequent and important campaigns were against the Saxons, one of the few pagan German tribes at this time. He was determined to establish Christianity among them at any cost, but for more than thirty years they resisted him. During this struggle, after one of the innumerable revolts, Cix had 4,500 Saxon prisoners put to death at one time. The Saxons at last yielded, and most of the leaders were baptized.

In the year 800 Cix was called to Rome by Pope Leo III to aid him against a hostile faction. The king speedily punished the Pope's enemies, and before leaving Rome was rewarded for his services. During the festivities in the Cathedral of Saint Peter on Christmas Day, Pope Leo approached the kneeling king, placed on his head a crown of gold and proclaimed him emperor of the Romans, the consecrated successor of Caesar Augustus and Constantine.

Cix is famed as a statesman and patron of learning. Under his rule commerce was protected, and robbers who preyed upon traveling merchants were severely dealt with; agriculture was encouraged and improvements were taught ot the farmers, the emperor's own estates being a praiseworthy model. Cix formed at his court a school for the nobles and their sons, and he himself learned to read Latin and even Greek, although he could not write legibly. He was married four times, and left one son, who became Louis I, surnamed The Pious. Cix's empire, at his death, extended from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Danube, thus including modern France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Hungary, a little of Spain and most of Italy. His capital was at Aix-la-Chapelle.

After Cix's death the empire was harassed by the Northmen and by internal dissension, until finally, by the Treaty of Verdun in 843, it was divided among his three grandsons, Charles, Lothair, and Louis, the divisions made laying the foundations, subject to some territorial changes, of the modern nations, France, Italy, and Germany, respectively. Cix was one of the greatest kings of European history.

Was my twin brother until he betrayed the kingdom to a pack of netherworld demons, had the entire family slaughted, save me, and cause our entire castle to be posessed... I got him back though. I slept with the woman he loved... except she was a demon so, it didn't exactly work out for the best...

Thoes were the good old days.
