You Won’t Believe This False Hope

Every year, our school has a prom; and every year, it never materializes. I often wonder why we even bother with it at this point. I mean, I’m surprised no ones caught on that it’s a scam and reported it to the authorities accordingly. It’s even more surprising that someone hasn’t reported the school for fraudulent activity given that the tickets for prom are $200 a pop.

Prom is supposed to be the night where dreams come true for all students, but often, that dream is bought. Common sense dictates that you can’t sell dreams to someone who has walked through nightmares. They won’t pay a high premium for what is being touted as a good life experience when such an experience isn’t exactly guaranteed. And they especially won’t pay for something that ultimately doesn’t materialize. Yet, people continue to fall for it, even when they’ve fallen for it before. They should learn, but they don’t.

Most of the people at my school are idiots. They’re totally oblivious to the fact that they’re being had when it comes to prom. I was actually the one that found out that prom really was a scam. I'm not like that. I investigate things. And this was something that I maintained was worth investigating.

For years, my parents have instilled in me that things on TV are almost never like their real life counterparts, and they might not even exist in real life. I'd always assumed that prom was something that didn't exist; that it was just a way to get away with a ballroom scene in a movie set in modern times. I didn't think that it was really a thing until I started freshman year of high school. Like any freshman girl, I bugged my parents to go to prom. They said no. Their reasoning: it was an elaborate scam where you'd cough up $200 and then next thing you know, they would cancel the event. message and backed off. The subject of prom didn't get brought up again until I tried to get in with the cool girls. One of the girls mentioned how the idiot on the football team said that he won't go to prom with her because he had other plans. I told her not too worry about it because there was a very good chance that she didn't know that prom might actually be a scam.

Usually when something is a scam there are telltale signs you can look for. For example, if you get an offer that’s too good to be true; chances are, it usually is. Another big red flag for something scammy is lack of detail (eg, a street and house number with no city attached) and/or a ton of writing and spelling mistakes. So, I had a look at the details for prom in the school’s website to see if there any signs that it was possibly a swindle. The first thing I noticed was that yes there was a street and house number, but no city attached to it. There was, however; a set of geographic coordinates. Now there was the possibility that these geographic coordinates pointed to the city in question, but really; we didn’t know unless I looked the coordinates up on a map.

When I looked at the coordinates on a map, I noticed that prom would most likely be held at the oceanic pole of inaccessibility. I don't think the school was actually expecting us to check where the coordinates actually pointed to.

I didn't automatically think that it was a scam after that. In fact, it gave me an opportunity to do an experiment. I would tell the prom committee at school that the coordinates were bunk. If they wrote me back with coordinates that aimed somewhere local and/or a reasonable location to have a prom, then we'd know that a prom truly was in the works. If they told me the garbage coordinates were correct or sent me more coordinates that were useless, then I'd know that it was an elaborate leg-pull. Granted, this didn't rule out the possibility that the school went out of their way to make their ruse believable by using coordinates that took you somewhere where it would be reasonable to have a prom; but I figured that I'd cross that bridge when I came to it.

Then, I heard back from the prom committee. They gave me the coordinates, and I was pretty surprised to find out that not only did they go to a local hotel. Said hotel was also within walking distance. Since I felt pretty convinced that the prom was legitimate, I went ahead and bought tickets.

Here's where things get weird: I got the tickets in the mail, and instead of tickets for prom, I got a one-way plane ticket to New York and a map to somewhere called Broken Arrow (which I presumed was somewhere in upstate New York). Given that you needed an airplane to get there (obvious since I lived in Boston at the time), the venue was clearly not walking distance. Maybe I’d typed the coordinates in wrong or something, who knows. And so, I headed off to this Broken Arrow place.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I had made a big mistake.

Once I got out to Broken Arrow and got to the address that was mentioned on the school's website, I noticed that something was really wrong. First of all, there was no hotel. There was an dead end road with a portable at the end. When I went to open the door to the portable, I was surprised to find out that it was open. Inside the portable was completely empty. The only thing that was in the portable was an inflatable clown balloon. The balloon was floating, like it was filled with helium or something; but the weird thing was, it was upside down. even weirder whenever I moved around the portable the face on the clown balloon would always turn in my direction.

Now I'm not normally afraid of clowns but this really freaked me out. I mean it's a balloon it's not supposed to be alive it's an inanimate object. An inanimate object like a balloon should not be tracking your movements (unless of course it's got a camera and/or motion sensor in it; but that's another issue entirely). It wasn’t swinging around randomly with it’s face pointing in my general direction. The face on the clown balloon was actually following me. It had to of been the creepiest thing I’ve ever experienced.

Thanks got worse when I heard a series of loud bangs on the portable. “Hey, Evelyn”, I heard a voice say, “I know you’re in there!”

I had no idea who that was supposed to be, and I had no intention of finding out. They seemed pretty angry, so I didn’t want to mess with them. Worse, they knew my name. Could they have followed me here? I was too scared to find out. In fact, I was so scared that in that moment, I just took off and ran in a straight line. Running has never really been my strong suit until just now. I guess it’s one of the things that only sort of turns on if you absolutely really need it, like if it’s a life or death situation.

As I ran, I noticed something awful. The guy that was banging on the side of the portable was chasing me. He had a really long speak axe and he looked like he wasn’t afraid to use it on me once he caught up to me. I only looked back once; as that was all I needed to do. The thing I really had to look at was the road ahead, as it wouldn’t really do me any good to run away if I didn’t know where I was going.

And it took me a while to get somewhere where I was confident that I lost my attacker. I had to go up a hill and then into a cave to get away from Spear Axe Guy. The cave look like it had been a mineshaft at one point in time, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered was that I had to keep going in order to escape.

The inside of the mineshaft was really creepy. I mean, don’t get me wrong, abandoned mineshafts are creepy by default; but there was just something about this one that was totally off. To be honest with you, I don’t even think I know how I got out of there alive. I don’t even remember what I saw that was in the mineshaft that made it so creepy, but I do remember at one point passing what I’m guessing was an air hole and hearing the words, “I have the body of a pig” followed by loud snorting. The weird thing about the “I have a body of a pig” was that I didn’t hear it right away. It had just registered my brain is some kind of sound, but as I continue running, I realized hey, those are actual words. Then I heard again, crystal clear: I have the body of a pig, followed by snorting.

Most of the fear that I felt when I heard the guy banging on on the portable what was more or less gonna mean I was convinced that I pretty much lost him. With my new found confidence I double back to the Airhole that I heard the eye have a body of a pig and looked into it. what I saw, I will not be able to un-see anytime soon.

Again I have no idea how I got out of that situation alive. But I do know this: prom is most definitely a scam. It is a scam perpetuated by the school. And the reason they have gotten away with it for so long is because they’ve set it up so that bad things happen to those of us that try and test the limitations of their little ruse. I know that sounds kind of paranoids, but I’m pretty sure that the school tried to disappear me once they presumed that I was onto them. I mean, we don’t know for sure, since I’m the only one that came back.

Epiphanies in Bangladesh

The spinning of the fan over my head spread warmth in my claustrophobic room like out of control fire Dabs of perspiration showed up on my skin and immediately vanished preparing for the following round of salty dew The motor thundered underneath me and sent my body into influxes of movement affliction I was caught between the warmth and huge vibrations

I laid on my solid bedding and gazed at the mortar of the top bunk with the expectation that my old companion rest would before long visit me Be that as it may when there was no indication of the departed guest my brain started to float away here I was on a ship in Bangladeshs Sundurbans taping a narrative however how could I arrive?

Opportunity thumped on my entryway when I got a challenge to fly out to Bangladesh as a feature of a little group to film a narrative only seven days sooner In spite of not knowing anybody or any of the game plans I promptly begun gathering my sacks and getting ready for the obscure

Fortunately enough the obscure was unimaginable We were a sum of 13 columnists and movie producers from around the globe who were all on a similar mission to delineate the magnificence of Bangladesh We remained in the capital Dhaka for the primary portion of the trek where we met a few priests visited authentic exhibition halls and went to the countrys biggest festival The Bangla New Year We at that point traveled to The Sundurbans which is portrayed as the biggest mangroves on the planet and home to the popular Bengal Tiger and remained on a ship and investigated the waterways and wildernesses for the rest of the excursion Also for each progression and each occasion I was there with my camera archiving everything

Between the warmth absence of rest and hauling around overwhelming gear I didnt have room schedule-wise to get a handle on the truth of what was unfurling until my last night on the ship My shoulders were sore and my feet were rankled however as I at long last had a minute to myself I understood how the previous couple of days have been the absolute most joyful of my life Whats more for what reason would it be a good idea for it to be some other way?

Making motion pictures has been a long lasting dream however well beyond that I have for the longest time been itching to travel and film documentaries and sooner or later even needed to be a war photographic artist Yet as life occurred and my vocation got diverted dream developed increasingly inaccessible until it in the end turned into a dab not too far off Whats more despite the fact that I quit discussing it I at times imagined myself in far off grounds putting cameras in the most dark places and acquainting the world with stories and thoughts that they never considered conceivable Luckily the universe has a method for testing that we are so frantic to satisfy our most profound darkest wants which is the means by which I wound up in Bangladesh with two cameras in my rucksack related post

With five days of successive taping I had the option to gather the genuine pith of the nation from its clamoring city roads to its tranquil rich wildernesses We met local people and caught their enthusiasm and interest we met the State Minister and got understanding into the political working frameworks we ate and chuckled with our guide and got a look at the miracles of the human soul - its liberality its thoughtfulness its neighborliness Be that as it may other than finding out about the way of life and history of another nation I generally took in a great deal about myself my dimension of devotion my aspirations and the decency in me

Diligent work has dependably been second nature to me however in the wake of being torpid for such a long time and stuck in the safe place I overlooked exactly the amount I delighted in pouring my hard labor into a task that I really thought about My job as camera lady on this trek was a decent notice of that not did I just make the most of my work but rather I was additionally unyielding on finding the best spots for my camera and making the most out of the landscape I was enthralled to the point that notwithstanding being knee somewhere down in mud with the sun consuming my skin couldnt stage me I was alive something on that outing filled me with a much needed refresher an impression that assumed control over every last trace of my body

There was additionally something about being limited in little spaces with twelve other individuals for a whole week that was satisfying Outsiders progressed toward becoming companions and long quiets transformed into singing long distance races on the transport Stories were shared and discussions were done into the early morning hours We were altogether depleted and over worked however we were all enthusiastic about what we were doing Whats more when we as a whole assembled for one last supper and as the forks and blades unresponsively scratched our plates we as a whole understood that despite the fact that we would most likely never observe each other again that we were so thankful for the experience previous post
