“Joel” by Lem

(August 19th, 2024)

In This Shirt by The Irrepressibles plays.

“Do you think Lacey is happy?” asks an witch in the Illuminati of Joel.

He pauses to think. Stares off into the ether as we all do before we die without realizing it.

“This song is Lacey’s soul.” says Harold Loeb. “And no…she’s not a man. Nor is she Jack Kennedy. And it’s Hell. And I’d love to know who sent her there.”

The song plays.

“And I’m saying at as a Jew.” says Harold Loeb.

“I am lost. In a rainbow. Now the rainbow…IS GONE.” warns F. Scott Fitzgerald.

A Muslim woman in the Illuminati screams.

“What!? Why did that woman scream!?” says JFK, genuinely out of the loop.

“We are not clowns.” says a living Egyptian woman, as a warning.

“What’s so funny?” says JFK, still out of the loop.

The song plays.

“There’s a pain…it does ripple.” says a living psychic.

“What!?” says JFK, like a “cute gay.”

“So. Is she happy?” a living psychic asks Joel.

“No.” says Joel.

“Why?” asks the Illuminati psychic.

“She has no idea how to be happy.” says Joel.

“Why?” asks an Illuminati wizard.

Joel stops to think again. “I haven’t thought about her in a long time!” he says to himself. A flood of emotions overcome him for a second or two. “She’s so beautiful.” he says. “But there was a darkness about her. Something…deathly.”

“STOP!” a male disembodied voice in Lacey’s living-room yells. It’s cold. And loud.

A light flashes. Like a person. Moving at the speed of light through her dining-room.

“FUCK!” yells the voice.

“Ahhh!” yells Maeve. From the past. This is when they lost control of their craft.

“How!??” says Joel from the future.

“ME.” says the male voice.

“What!?” says Jack Kennedy as a “cute gay.”

“You drowned your niece.” says Bobby Kennedy Senior. “Great niece.”

“OH FUCK!” says Bobby Kennedy Junior. He raises his eyebrows.

“How dad?” asks Bobby’s daughter.

Bobby is struggling to talk.

“It’s okay. I’ve got it.” says David. “It’s cool. I’ll keep them chill.”

“HOW!?” yells his Skakel grandfather.

“I’ll make the whole thing seem dumb.” says David.

“Good idea.” says God.

Maeve laughs.

Her son follows her lead.

A look of sad resignation comes across her face. She begins to contemplate her own death. Calmly.

“We’re probably going to drown.” says Maeve.

Then she explains to her son how to die well.

“Yeah. It’ll just be cold!” says David. “But it shouldn’t take too long.”

“Don’t try to swim!” yells Michael. “Just float. Or maybe just…zone out.”

“It’s too cold to swim.” says Maeve sadly.

“Yeah. I mean…it’ll be chill once you’re dead.” says a living psychic.

“How long will it take?” asks her son.

Maeve calms him.

“Will we separate?” he says, in fear.

“Not likely.” says Maeve.

“Will I get to meet him?” says her son.

“Yeah!! Probably.” she says, smiling. Feeling God’s grace.

Bobby weeps.

“It’ll be okay!! Let’s just get them over!!” yells Joe to his younger brother.

Her son tries to enjoy it. He shivers. Then he goes unconscious.

“I am lost…in a rainbow. Now the rainbow…IS GONE.” says an Illuminati psychic.

Gideon dies. Feels warm. Sees Michael Rockefeller smiling at him. Gets excited for Heaven. Finds Bobby Kennedy Senior fascinating. Stares at him.

“Yeah. He’s fascinating, isn’t he?” says Saoirse.

Bobby looks awkward. Guilty. Sad. And as Maeve dies too…relieved.

“Cool! Let’s have fun!” says Joe Junior.

“Dinner!” says Jackie.

They all have dinner. And it’s…not so bad.

“Jesus conquered death. But you all still suffer.” says Satan.

“Yup.” says Joel in the afterlife.

“Lacey doesn’t want us to suffer. Satan does.” explains Gideon. “Regardless if there’s reincarnation or not.”

“Thank you!” says Bobby Senior.

“No! That’s my line!!” yells JFK to no one but a demon.

“Why are you supposed to say that to Gideon?” asks Joel.

“Because I sound in charge and innocent then. DUH.” says JFK.

The song starts over. But the Zero 7 remix.

“Why?” the Illuminati asks Joel.

“Why can’t she be happy?” asks Joel.

“Yes.” says the woman.

“Because she needed me. I’m more…aware than some people, I guess. Okay?” he says.

“Jack why aren’t you a homosexual?” asks a living gay man.

“Ha! I was…so much better.” says JFK. “You’re a faggot. I’m just not.”

“Ag what point do you tell him he’s gay?” says Joel.

“They can’t.” says JFK. Scoffing. “They’ve never been able to. Because I’m not a faggot.”

Departure (Reflection) by Max Richter plays.

“Lacey, do you have sterling silver from the Schiebel family in your house right now?” says a Kathleen Townhouse.

“ yes.” says Lacey.

“ this is where a lot of people as you may or may not know get into witchcraft because I think you’re able to understand more what happened or somehow this moment was possible and you’re able to help them transition because if there’s no Libonatti, I’m real you know that I am but also they first started talking to me when I was lieutenant governor I knew about it before that, but not really if it exists then yeah they started needing me to be involved more to control me to be honest. I am in the sterling silver in your house because your sister-in-law your step sister-in-law went to the same school as Maeve they went to the same school and I think that’s why it’s a loose connection but I think that’s what it is. I think that silver that was in your fathers father-in-law‘s house while your sister-in-law was going to school in the same school that my daughter went to, I think somehow because it’s silver that the energy transferred and so you’re able to see this more clearly I bet that disembodied male voice was probably Joe not Joel Joe if what you’re hearing is right I am worried for you and myself because it sounds like my uncle Jack was a of a malignant narcissist, and I think I believe my father might’ve been too but I think I think it’s possible that Jack was the most toxic of all of them and it sounds like he’s not OK. It seems like he’s a poltergeist which makes sense he was assassinated. He’s JFK and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a problem for a lot of people me obviously with my daughter and my grandson, I thought your hearing is correct and you are in so it’s not just you that’s my point it’s it’s not just you he’s it’s like you didn’t do anything I didn’t do anything my father didn’t do anything and I have a feeling he bothered my father at times when he was alive so we didn’t do anything we’re not the guilty ones with Jack that’s his problem I think I think you’re probably hearing from God. I think you’re probably hearing from scenes I think you’re hearing I think you’re hearing from people and I don’t think it’s unlikely that lame was straight I think that’s completely possible. People might disagree with me in the family, but I think it’s possible I’ve seen enough to know if that’s possible I think he might’ve been confused there’s times were yeah I have I noticed him I’m smart enough to believe it or not to pick up on stuff like that and yeah his mannerisms were a little off for gay man. He seemed gay but then when I stop to think of it. Yeah at times, he stopped seeming gay and yes, it was usually at the end of sentences, or when he was pausing to think about what he was going to say it was like he seemed different than how he acted when he was talking, and projecting this image of himself, which yes, would suggest that the person he was when he was thinking, and accessing himself was probably straight, kind of a sad, lonely street man to be honest I think some people might think he was asexual. I don’t think so to me. It seems like he was more straight to to be honest and that concerns me because I don’t think you rationally know that anymore I think you thought it was possible and now people have talk to you out of it, it scares me as an intellectual and as a person that scares me but I just want to say it’s not her fault OK my uncle Jack might’ve been a president and a lot of people admire him but if I hate him for a while but I’m dead and God has to help me with that and Purgatory then that’ll be something I will have to help me with because right now if there’s an illuminati, I am tempted to hate him. If what you’re saying is accurate really I mean it’s my daughter it’s my grandson. It seems like he’s obsessed with seeming straight and trying to project some sort of macho image, and that he doesn’t really own up to his own mistakes and that he’s just in capable of handling the responsibility of his image and who people think he is, it’s just obsession with trying to still seem impressive and straight.” she says.

“ how does the sterling silver Kathleen because I know you’re Catholic and I’m guessing you still somewhat believe in Christianity how does the sterling silver transfer the energy?” says a born-again Christian.

“ because it’s a metal you have to think scientifically because this could be stuff that God created but that became a thing because of the fall it’s a metal metals do tend to attract electricity. I mean it’s like lightning you know metals and lightning him so I was think that’s probably part of it is if the sterling silver is a metal and we have an energy and so we don’t really know how we’re made and that way we’ve never really figured it out so that’s my guess as an atheist or former atheist Jew, whose son is a born-again Christian and maybe secretly you know talk to Catholics and God about that I guess but if I’m saying this from the afterlife I know what it was it’s probably because it’s a metal does that make sense so it’s like my daughter would come home her energy had probably picked up residual energy from Maeve and who I’m guessing had a huge heart energetics imprint on the school that she went to because of the historic nature of their family so when she was there, she left behind a pretty big odor will say a pretty big energetics odor that probably still is there, and when my daughter went to school there somehow she absorbed pieces of that energy into her body, and then when she went home to our house where the sterling silver was stored that sterling silver, being a metal and being silver, and possibly also because of the nature of like energy, flowing like water and Lacey being loves twin flame it it’s like a crack so the energy between her mom because of how Jack has been trying to process all these years was looking for a way out on a mechanical level. It was always looking for some way to escape some sort of to meet the other half you know because that’s what they’re made to do is be you are you know a union and did become one person himself because they’ve been separated. I hope you’re still following me the energy from Maeve that came through my daughter into that silver got store there because it was sort of pull there and away by gravity, but not but not really but maybe kind of in a way we don’t know how I made and so it was pulled into that silver because the silver was a conduit to my daughter-in-law and that’s where her yeah it’s super natural because you know how are the silver know that I was going to end up giving it to her that’s some thing you’ll have to ask God but that’s that’s what happened the sterling silver and even the plated silver, that I gave her ended up being given to her and so that’s where it came from. She sitting very close to where they sell sterling silver is in her house so she’s writing all this on her blog, so yeah that’s that’s probably part of how she heard this also clearly and etc.. Let me tell you it sounds thrilling while you’re alive in 2024 to hear all of us finding out about it on the other side it’s kind of just like popular mechanics.” says Ken Schiebel.

“ what matters is our hearts. Like God loved us. He loves the world in a sense because He created it but He really loves us, so what really matters is that we’re sad OK?” says Gideon.

“ you seem a lot like your great grandpa.” says a reader.

“ he was, and now he’s dead. Congratulations!” says Maeve in frustration.

“ Thank you for taking time out of wherever you are to explain that to us Ken we appreciate it!” says a living woman in 2024.

“ I am so did it to the gays come to pick Jack up and stop lying to us about him or do we just have to just sort of like stop thinking you guys are cute?” says a living lesbian. “ Because I’m tired of the bullshit I really am. I’m so sick of going online on Reddit and seeing people defend Jack like Jack wasn’t gay they were just friends that’s bullshit. I’m sorry it’s so unlikely that nothing happened. Those men shared bedrooms those men went traveling over your head over you’re like come on oh Europe together Germany. I highly doubt that nothing ever happened. I have straight friends, but they’re like Lacey they’re like straight, but like with an edge or some thing about them that’s different and you can be chill with him but you always kind of have to like watch yourself because you don’t wanna fall for them so it’s like you do things that are intellectually going to the art museum maybe you go running together or like Actually yeah if they’re in the sports you might go to a game with them um, but then it’s like that’s it you don’t like share beds with them and shit like that’s kind of weird like you don’t do that that’s just fucked up OK sorry this pisses me off. It pisses off Lacey to so wake up Kaald the gay community like what the fuck it’s obvious that something happened you know that and yet you don’t.

And honestly that’s where we have to be more mature in 2024 and sophisticated for real and be like OK so Jack was probably not straight and like honestly let’s be real about it. I kind of think that it’s possible if what she saying is true and I vandalized it I kind of think that might’ve been street feral like it. It is weird how he just didn’t give a shit about Jack hurting him ever I mean they said he was jealous, but not like in the way that a normal person would be at all as far as I can see, and especially at his wedding, those pictures are really telling him like people saying oh no, he was totally jealous, but there’s like that’s like a story the photographic evidence that’s real and not just anecdotal bullshit potentially pulled out of someone’s ass, who is jealous of him is that he wasn’t he was it he doesn’t look jealous almost I would say he does look jealous lol at Jack’s wedding and people say oh no he was then where where does it show up in the pictures? Lame doesn’t look jealous and I don’t think he could’ve been friends with him that long and maintained any sort of friendship if he was actually gay, considering what happened between them I don’t think it’s possible. I think he was probably straight. I think this is the missing Piece of what really happened. Historically I think he was straight. I think this block is legit and that way, regardless of whether or not, there’s no ilumiNATTI regardless of whether or not, there’s ring carnation, and this is where people need to stand up for women more and we’re feminism has failed five minutes because no she’s not an idiot. OK she’s not an idiot And I don’t know how ascot her brain is able to talk to the dead OK sometimes it happens to women more than that and really for real and for some reason she’s able to. I don’t know I don’t think it’s something she’s done to herself I think it’s just her brain and so Sorry, but I’ve had girlfriends that are, which is before if I’m in the illuminati, I might even be married to someone who’s into witchcraft more than I am, but it just pisses me off because it’s so obvious that this makes sense it’s like duh he was straight and fucked up and I think people back then really could’ve been eccentric enough or Unusual enough that they would’ve sort of acted homosexual without being that they were a different generation and their brains. They were very whimsical by our standards. It’s like they read books they didn’t watch television they probably developed what we would consider astounding imaginations because they didn’t have it we have to work with, so they had to think things through more that way so I think it’s possible that someone in his generation could’ve actually thought they were homosexual without being one wet women men, but I think they might today too, but it would just look very different but I think this may actually be possible and it just makes sense to me. I think it fits perfectly and I think you guys have to get over the fact that she’s the one telling you, I think that’s hard for a lot of people to handle but I can handle it and I think a lot of other people should try because I have a feeling this is what actually happened.

I am beyond that I’m not a gay man because I just why are you guys so catty why are you guys so catty like it’s cattiness like you don’t want to say that Jack was gay because you think it’s cute right you think it’s cute to have this like flaming Levi sexual hyper asshole Jack ass who everyone thinks is straight secretly in your community behind closed doors in your minds with us like victimized straight dude as his like pseudo-husband I think I think the really evil people in your community love that aesthetic because then you’re victimizing a straight guy who probably might not have gotten along with all of you all that well and you’re also victimizing his wife who probably threatens your egos I mean hello Michael Rockefeller he would’ve chosen her over a lot of men and I think a lot of you probably feel less pain by that thinking that you can sucker punch her this way.

And who else pisses you off? I don’t think Scott was good at all. I really think he was straight. I think he’s another person who people had no respect for he wasn’t in your community. He literally got into arguments with Zelda over that because he was so offended by that suggestion I don’t think he slept with Hemingway. I think you’ve imagined a lot of bullshit Over the years because you don’t like the thought that men like him and lamb could exist because they’re untouchable to you. They’re not they’re not interested in that and you’re just like oh my gosh there’s none we can’t have. Yeah, no shit there’s women I can’t have there’s women who are like me who men can’t have that’s part of growing up is realizing you can’t have everything you want you fucking idiots.

I know I’m sorry I’m talking to the most toxic people in that community and sometimes are people who are in charge and I can’t stand those people. I don’t hate you she would say in Christ but I’m not a Christian necessarily but I don’t hate you for saying that way, but I hate you like you’re awful people you’re absolutely awful people.

Yeah, I mean we were suspicious of you. OK lesbians have been suspicious of gay men because of chicks like Lacey I don’t know what the hell happened in the last 50 to 100 years are we forgot that she exists but she still does maybe she’s rare, but hello she still exist. There’s still one of her at least And I have a feeling there could be more and no you guys suck shit in regard to people like her you suck fucking shit and I as a lesbian I’m calling you out and saying I am sick of it.

No and you know what homosexual might not even be allowed in heaven, but if it is or if if there’s a part of me that God understands in a way that I don’t even understand I’m just I’m not a terrible person and I’m just sick of keeping my mouth shut because it’s just getting to me.

No it’s just it’s like when do you pick Jack up OK like he’s throwing up everywhere he’s gotten his family killed like potentially I kind of think that’s possible. He’s been torturing people and it’s like way past like the breaking point even like he’s just making a total ass of himself and I’m just wondering when you guys are gonna come finally pick him up Because it’s so fucking obvious that he wasn’t straight it’s so bloody obvious I mean it’s obvious and if you’re going to write books about him and be like oh maybe he was possibly not straight then then you have to own that you can’t have it both ways where he’s this magical straight mad but then he’s not at the same time pick a lane OK pick a fucking lane.” says a lesbian.

“ I agree.” says Ken Schiebel.

“ there’s something wrong with us that we can’t admit that Jack was gay I don’t know what it is but that lesbian is right it does seem like pure evil.” says a living gay actor.

“ you know maybe you don’t like the thought that he was one of you.” says a Jewish actor from Canada.

“ I think he was an asshole and we don’t wanna admit that there’s assholes in our community who really are evil people and we’d rather just turn him into a magical, mysterious straight person instead of admitting that he was just a bisexual, malignant narcissist.” says his son.

“I wanted to Leave” by SYML plays.
