I’m quite embarrassed to say this but the radio doesn’t sit right with me anymore. I was fine with it before but that was until I found a station that gives me chills to this day. It actually wasn’t too long ago about 4 months ago I think. I was driving from visiting my parents in Alabama like I do every year. On my way back to Florida I decided to switch  the station. It was dark and no one was really on the road ,I looked over at the time 2:35am. I came to the decision that I should just go to the nearest hotel or motel I see.

I found a hotel and got a room “I’ll continue in the morning” I whispered softly to myself. I laid down on the bed, but I couldn’t go to sleep. I grabbed my phone I had placed on my dresser “no Wi-Fi” I sighed I noticed a small radio on the table. I sat up to grab the radio“maybe I can find some calm music to listen to”

I turned the stations rock, pop, rap, country more country. Wait some classical stuff “nice” I whispered to myself I sat the radio down and laid back down. It continued to play I was just falling asleep right then I heard a voice, but it wasn’t a usual loud radio voice it was deep calm and soft. I was going to turn it but I didn’t I laid there and listened.

“Hello night dwellers and welcome to 100.6 the Abyss”. “We have some very interesting topics to talk about tonight but a heads up for all of you in certain parts of Alabama heavy storms coming tomorrow”. “Looks like two school shooting have happened in the past month and it was said the shooter was caught, too bad I was really hoping he would escape and I know I’m know I’m not the only one”.

He gave a slight chuckle and continued but I was stuck on what he said “hoping he would escape” I thought to myself “did I hear that right” I snapped back out of my thoughts to tune back in. “Okay folks looks like I’ll be giving the rest of the night to Henry”. A man with a more rougher voice came on “ok ladies and gentlemen I’ll be taking calls now and we'll start this off with a call from Blake.” “How you doing Blake?”  A guy with a shaky voice came on sounding much like a kid or a teenager but it was hard to tell.

“I wanted to say first off I’ve been listening to this show for some time I’m big fan, but I need help man”. “What would you need help with today”? Henry asked in calm rough voice. “I” there was a short pausts but I don’t want to go to prison I’m only 14 I don’t know what to do I forgot the rules” the kid was terrified I could tell from his voice “I killed my parents stumbling all over his words. “Okay I see” Henry said with a pause, “okay, so here’s what you do remember the three rules First off don’t panic it’s your first kill I you must not get nervous second I hoped you wore gloves because you know have to dis-”.

I don’t remember the rest of what he said because I was lost with what was already happening “was this man really giving this kid advice on how to kill” I just couldn’t believe it.

I lie back down in the bed and fall asleep, awaking the next morning to the sound of rain “well I still have to get home” I mumbled to myself I put on my jacket and proceed to walk out of the hotel I get to the front give the keys to the receptionist. Before I walked away I had decided to ask him a question “have you heard of a station called 100.6 The Abyss” he looked at me with a confused looked and said “no I haven’t i’m sorry”. With that I had left and went to my car to continue my drive to Miami.

This time it was a motel it was pretty clean andI had got a room for that night and laid on the bed. The strange thing is I couldn’t sleep that radio station bothered me I looked in my bag and there was the small radio I took. I took it out of my bag “they won’t miss it” I mumbled to myself and switched it to the station 100.6. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Amatic SC';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">                                                                                                                      <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Amatic SC';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">    <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Caveat;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">                                                                                                                           <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Caveat;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">I remember there being nothing but static so I waited and just before falling asleep with my eyes feeling very heavy the classical music came on. I had looked over at the time 3:00am at that time i heard a loud thud outside. I stood up and went to the curtains and peeked out of the window.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">It was no longer raining but  I can clearly see a man stumbling out of one of the motel doors walking to what I assume is his car at that moment another car door opened and out had stepped a woman. She was clearly screaming at the man from what I could barely hear.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The man paid no attention to the woman while she took something out of her purse and jumped on the man. I saw the man and woman fall but only one came back up and that was the woman. She turned her head to see if anybody saw and our eyes locked. I quickly closed the curtains and went back to lie down, at that time I heard classical music playing I looked at the time 3:30am.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Hello night dwellers, and welcome to 100.6 The Abyss today I’ll be taking over today because Henry wasn’t feeling so well.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">We have an caller who has been dying to be on the show tonight she’s told something amazing that all you would love to hear I’m sure. “Hello” a woman was on the phone she sounded very hysterical rambling on and on not understanding a word she is saying when the man then say in a very deep angry tone can you please shut-“He stopped himself and sighed and then changing back to his original tone. “Can you please reword what you are trying to say the woman continued “I stabbed my boyfriend and I think somebody saw me what do I do”.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“Here’s what you do” the paused for less than 5 second then continued dispose of your boyfriends body first then you’re going to have to silently deal with the watcher”. At that moment I turned off the radio my heart beating fast my palms were sweaty “oh crap” I mumbled to myself I rubbed my hand together I peek out of the window she’s walking this way “oh crap” I angrily say out loud. I peek out of the window again and she wasn’t there. I knew she was coming my way so I looked around the room to grab something, anything to protect myself from this woman.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">A convenient short metal pole was under the bed, I grabbed it and hid behind my door. I was not going to just die standing there unarmed I had to fight back if I where to stay alive. I thought of the radio station “I’m definitely turning it into the police”. I put my ear to the door and listened nothing was there for sometime until the clicking of shoes were heard coming down the hall. I decided to quietly move to the closet “it’s safe there” I thought to myself as I waited for the knock. In mid thought the knocks that I waited for came. Knock -Knock -knock, they had gotten harder with each minute of my not answering. “I know you're in there” the woman voice came through the door as i heard the door knob rattle. Within seconds the door had opened and through a crack in the closet I was hiding in I saw the mad woman holding a knife looking around for me. She threw back the curtains furiously, she then had looked under the bed and finally looking straight at the closet door.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">I don’t know how to explain it but when see look at me there was pure evil in her eyes and I could have sworn I saw a large shadow behind her. She slowly walked forward with what seemed like a butcher knife in her hand. I gripped my pole I held in hand and as she flung opened the doors I smash the pole right into her side as if I hit a homerun in a baseball game. Possibly ending her life but saving mine looking at her body on the now blood stained floor the dark presence she had seemed to leave her.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">To make a long story somewhat shorter I called the police and told them everything that happened from the radio station to the woman minus the dark presence I felt. The woman wasn’t dead and only had minor abdominal injuries I was there when the police questioned her but she kept insisting she remember nothing that had happened but did remember the stationed. She started crying that her boyfriend was dead and didn’t recall stabbing him. He also wasn’t dead only minor stab wounds.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The police couldn't find anything on the radio station and  said it didn’t exist. So I did what anyone else would do, I took to the internet. Turns out 100.6 The Abyss goes by another name “The Devil’s Radio” and whoever listens to it something bad is bound to happen to them.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.284;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Comic Sans MS';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">I could have written about this as soon as it happened but I didn’t because nothing seemed to affect me and it seemed all folk lore. I am now writing about this because I’ve been waking up with blood on my hands or stained on my clothes in the morning. I also never could what happened that night. I’m sure this can’t be a coincidence. Can it? <ac_metadata title="I&#039;m back with a good one &quot;100.6 The Abyss&quot; tell me if it&#039;s good or not."> </ac_metadata>
