Bless There Soul
FOUND by Emma
in Atlanta, Georgia
I found this near the scanner in my school newspaper's room. I don't know what context it's in, but I love the misspellings, all those ellipses, and the random trace of someone's hand.

I only see one misspelling..."Bless *there* souls........"
there souls, there castle ...
any young frankenstein fans out there?
...she *must have* killed herself. (Not "must of".)
What I'm seeing is the traced outline of the top of an extraterrestrial's head with its two wispy forked antennae sticking up.
No wonder she killed herself. What with dead antennae and all those Morse Code "S" letters at the end indicating a deflating soul escaping.
It's the bottom half of a cute little fatbird.
Winnie the Pooh, looking down. And realizing he has no outside genitalia.
Ground's eye view looking up at a woman's backside.
I'm with Schneh. A fat little bird tipped over. Maybe the bird is one of the dead mentioned in the sentence....
the antennae look like the "Y"s in yurt. (or the T in turf, as the case may be.)
Bring back deely boppers! They go so well with red- and blue-lensed 3D glasses.
It's an upside down chicken... and there is nothing I can do to help...
@Jules
koolaid pie??
Do tell!
Dear Flargy, I just so happen to have several pairs of glittery deely-boppers.. blue, green, gold... left over from the days of yore. Want some? (I have some 3D glasses, too, but only the cheepo paper kind.)
(Oh yeah... and speaking of the days of yore, my only comment for this Find itself was "well, Bless Yore sole, too!")
lookin,
for the lowdown on koolaid pie, check out this find:

Chrome...is there any other kind of 3D glasses?
Tracing of a hand? I'm not seeing that.
Looks like a lady bent forward and a gentlemen's view from behind. (need I clarify more...?)
Okay, enough with the sketch. Anybody have any idea what in the world the text means?
High school poetry? Part of a dramatic reading? Solstice ceremony?
Random babbling???
@the man behind the curtain in oz:
Werewolf?
There.
What?
There wolf. There castle.
Why are you talking that way?
I thought you wanted to.
-----
Ellipsis... ellipses... Aren't I a silly-goose for just having realized that there was a plural spelling?
I wonder how many times I've used "ellipsis" when writing about six or more dots?
Hmm dot-dot-dot
Newspaper rooms need to take lots of notes. I think what we are looking at is "scrap" paper, cut into a little rectangle for people to grab and write on the back of.
The text looks to be some creative writing or english course assignment, cut off.
But DOES gravy go with fish?
Nothing you can do to help? How about calling an ambulance? How about calling the next of kin or the funeral home? How about writing a eulogy or saying a prayer? How about taking a casserole to the grieving family and letting them cry on your shoulders? That might be helpful....
@Dudley: No!
Bless them here, there, and everywhere!
dead she must of killed herself.
alive she must have been born.
asleep she must have entered dreamland.
and awake she must have been conscious.

Ghost in Lost and Found... you so are right, yes much more one can do to help. we have become so self absorbed and selfish and forget about the nice and even little things one can do for another no matter the situation...
definitely a little dead bird (chicken?)
one of my students wrote stories like this all the time. a very cheerful, bright, sociable girl but with this flair for the melodramatic(and lots of common grammar mistakes, like 'must of,' to go around too)
Ok, I read up on the famous koolaid pie and I must say that now I know more about it than I ever wanted to know.
Still, I can imagine froot loops as a garnish--a full day's supply of vitamin C in every bowl!
@flargy,
The two most common types of 3D glasses are the red/green ones (anaglyph) and polarized.*
Sadly, they are both dead and there's nothing I can do to help.
*There are a few other, less common types.
Yeah, and they came with birth-control frames. (black plastic or horn rim..)
LOL @ Cubby
