Hi lovely people! This group has been incredibly helpful and insightful when learning about moissanites. My boyfriend of nearly 10 years & I are starting to look at engagement rings & I knew right off the bat that I wanted a moissanite for ethical & cost reasons, but really didn’t know much about the stones. I have learned SO much and can’t wait to get mine one day!
Here’s where the hard part comes in – deciding where to buy from. We’re located in Ontario, Canada and are leaning towards going with a Canadian vendor for ease of repairs/warranty/supporting local, however I have seen some gorgeous rings on here from international vendors & haven’t entirely ruled out that option (although the international shipping does make me a bit nervous). We have looked into a few different options here and I’m hoping to get some opinions from those who have purchased moissanite rings before. This will be a significant and important purchase, and I want to make sure that we make the best choice! We’ve pretty much decided on what we’d like for the ring – 14K white gold, cathedral setting, likely with a hidden halo and plain band (2-2.5mm), and an elongated oval moissanite stone - ideally a 10x7.
Here's the options:
Option A – Moissy Fine Jewellery
14K white gold band, cathedral setting with a hidden halo and plain band, their brand (Lux Moissanite) 10x7 stone – $3.9K. Includes 1 year manufacturer defects warranty, a limited lifetime warranty (loose stones, $45 resizing, and an ultrasonic clean, polishing & rhodium plating 1x year) is an extra $399. Has a location fairly close to us for ease of facilitation of repairs/resizing & cleaning when needed.
Option B – Ring Come True
Clera setting - 14K white gold band, cathedral setting with a hidden halo and plain band, their brand (Sheer Brilliance, I think) 10x7 stone - $2.4K. Limited lifetime warranty at no extra cost, includes re-dips within reason. Would need to ship the ring to them to facilitate repairs/resizing & cleaning at our own expense when needed.
Option C – Local independent jeweller
14K white gold band, cathedral setting with a hidden halo and plain band, C&C 10x7 stone – $2.9K. No information about any warranty at this time (I don't think they offer one), although I do believe C&C stones have an automatic warranty directly from C&C. I have been the happiest with my interactions with this jeweller thus far, but they will be retiring this year. They do have the time to make the ring, but I would not have the ability to have any repairs completed through them after their retirement. Very highly recommended by locals.
Option D – another local independent jeweller
14K white gold band, cathedral setting with plain band, Supernova Moissanite 10x8 stone (may see about a smaller stone, but they did specifically note that the stones only come in certain sizes so I can’t do a 10x7). $3.7K with hidden halo, $3.3K without. Lifetime warranty at no extra cost that includes manufacturers defects & wear and tear (would need to look at the terms as this seems 'generous'). Located fairly close to us for ease of facilitation of repairs & cleaning when needed. Also highly recommended by locals.
Basically, I’m torn and looking for some advice/guidance. I’m leaning towards A, C & D as they are local, but C retiring would negate the decision to go local for repairs, although I am happiest with their service so far and am wondering how much weight to put into the need for service/repairs/warranty in the future. B has the best price, but I have seen some mixed reviews lately & we would need to send the ring out for any repairs which could add to costs when all is said and done (about $50 to ship each way). I don’t love that we would need to pay extra for a warranty beyond 1 year with A, and they have come in at the highest cost.
I also have some mixed feelings/reservations about the brand for the stone. In doing research about moissanite I learned that C&C originally had the patent and have been known to be ‘the gold standard’ for moissanites, but that other brands have been developing their stones & in some cases exceeding the quality of C&C and at a lower price. Does anybody here have experience with Lux Moissanite, Sheer Brilliance or Supernova Moissanite stones? I haven’t been able to find comprehensive reviews for these brands. I do take some comfort in C&C’s longstanding reputation, but I’m not sure if it’s worth being hung up on getting my stone from them or not.
I would love to get opinions on what people think would be the best option if we go domestically, or if we are better off to have the ring produced with one of the international vendors and find a good & trusted local jeweller who can take care of repairs/cleanings & just pay out of pocket? For those of you who have had to have repairs/resizing/re-dipping completed, how costly were these services? What would you value the most – easy logistics & communication & warranties, or price savings?
TIA. 😊

So this is going to be super sappy but here we are.
I proposed to my fiance about a year ago and a few months later he proposed back to me with a ring that definitely fit the descriptions I had given him in terms of looks, however something about it just didn't feel right and for the longest time I couldn't tell him due to the anxiety that he might be mad with me, especially since it ended up being way past it's due when it came to returning the original one he gave me.
I've recently started therapy which opened my eyes to taking care of the things in my life that stress me out, and so I broke down one day and told him I didn't like the ring because I felt that the thinner band on it made my hand look rather big, in a bad way and it made me feel insecure. Of course he was upset, but also very understanding. He told me that on the website it had seemed bigger and when it arrived he had worried I wouldn't like it. Knowing how much he spent on it I thought it ridiculous to ask for a new one in that proce range, and I even offered to buy myself a new one because I felt ashamed that I couldn't tell him before it was too late.
He told me he would love to do it if it would make me happy, and so I sat down and started searching and eventually I found the perfect ring . I shared it with him, it was cheaper and definitely more me (we both agreed) and so he said he'd look more into it.
And today while we were having a picnic at the park, and was talking about our roleplay characters and their silly little romance through a bunch of time traveling shenanigans, he entered a little monologue from his character.
"No matter what happens, when or where we are, past, present or future, I'll always be with you"
And after that he proposed to me a second time. And I think I just finally actually entered the "I just got engaged" jitters, because I swear the first time I got so nervous and barely took it in, but this time it just felt as though everything had fallen into place.
I couldn't be happier to build my story with be with my favorite storyteller <3<3<3

Roderick Kingsley, the Hobgoblin

"My name's Roderick Kingsley. That was my brother you killed. Which, honestly, I'm fine with. He was an idiot. But then you went too far… You stole my brand … SO YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!"

Roderick Kingsley was a ruthless designer in New York City who developed a financial empire that stretched far beyond the fashion industry. When a rival designer donned a costume and attempted to steal Kingsley's designs, he was saved only by the interference of Spider-Man. Kingsley acquired the original Green Goblin suit and equipment from a bank robber who had discovered one of Osborn's hidden caches around the city. Taking the name Hobgoblin, Kingsley used his costumed identity to grow his business interests without implicating himself, and became a regular foe to Spider-Man and other New York heroes.

Have you been looking for someone to share your interests and passions with? Someone that never runs out of genuine curiosity towards all things? A person that will in turn do the same and share everything that interests him? With whom you can sire the purest dynasty and rule the planet in a firm, yet kind grip? Is that someone tall, dark and (according to third parties) handsome?
Then look no further. All that and much more comes in this exclusive, one of a kind package. Included is a free subscription to heaps of art, memes, cute animal pictures, future dominion over Australia and lots more!
You know those people looking for their other halves? Losers. You are one, I am one, together, that’s two, right? Wrong! Let’s improve each other’s lives and help each other be the best we can be and that 2 goes up. The other couples are stuck at 0.5+0.5=1, while we are up to 3, 4… 5? "B..but love isn't a competition" is surely what those couples we leave in the dust will say.
If this once in a lifetime offer entices you, see more included features, as you’ll be getting a guy who:

• is 194 cm tall
• Speaks fluent Croatian, English (duh), German, Serbian, broken French and learning Polish
• Loves to cook and is rather good at it
• Actually cares how he dresses and tries to dress sharp all the time
• Loves to travel with plenty of wonderful pictures form my travels to share
• Has a wide spectrum in music, ranging from classic over pop all the way to black metal
• Same for movies, with things like Dune (old and new) over the Godfather all the way to Pride and Prejudice, not to forget one of the greatest of all time: The Room
• Has played video games since age 3, with games such Oblivion, Skyrim, CP2077, Elden Ring, STALKER, CK2, REmake2, RE4, FF XII, AC:Origins, Mass Effect, Dragon Age being some particular standouts
• A late-bloomer in regards to reading, with House of Leaves, the original Dune, ASOIAF and Atlas Shrugged being some of my favorites (currently reading Roadside Picnic)

And I love to cook but haven't had time in a while, but enough about me. If you’ve read through all of this, congrats, but now we get to the cutoff zone and talk about you:

• Between 19 and 25
• Talkative, passionate about the things you like and curious to know more
• From anywhere up from the Baltics down to the Adriatic (Poland preferred as I plan to move there within the year)
• NOT: fat/chubby, vegan, vegetarian, smoker

If you managed to endure thus far, hit me up. You've learned plenty about me so let me know about you in any shape you seem fit, maybe have me guess what statements about you are true, or write a 20 page autobiography, surprise me!
PS: it's not my main account jsyk.

Hello everyone, at first I want to say sorry because english is not my first language. I dont really have anyone to talk to about these or I dont really have any friends and cannot really say it to anyone on text either as he monitors all my social media 24/7. A bit of a backstory, my had been very verbally and emotionally abusive for the last 2 years, I wanted to exit it but couldn't because he was crying and lots of complicated things happened. Its not like the abuse has stopped now, every now and then he gets triggered, such as the AC remote not being in the correct place, or the table having spots or not being properly cleaned. He would start yelling and screaming and then say it wouldn't have happened had I just "listened to him". He even accused me of s#x with people I hardly know, like co-workers who are added on social media or such. Or even male teachers if I ever attend their help desk at college. He starts calling me stuff like the R word the F word, m#ron, b#tch, sl#t and almost everything. I mean if I could say I could go on for ages. Such as him hoping death on my Dog when my dog was sick, him wanting to unalive me when I failed to "listen to him"
Any sane person would have left and honestly its difficult to stay but the reason I tolerate this is because he is very depressed and is also s#icidal. Because everytime I even used to give the hint of leaving him, he used to say " yeah leave me I would be dying soon anyway" hinting that he would commit C. so Yesterday he started saying all he did was use a few bad words and I did so much more to him that the kist goes on. I mean I understand where he is coming from. (Like I call my dog "baby" so he is like now the word baby is not special between us anymore, then I go visit an art gallery where he never went, hence destroying the chance if having a first time visiting that place together, or eating at a restaurant he loves without him and other stuff like that. ) He kept saying yesterday, I never did such stuffs without you, yet you did so many things without me its unfathomable, and all I did was use some bad words, but your actions are so many the list will not end. When his abuse was at the peak point, I felt very scared and sought help from my female friends and my brothers. I told them how my partner is acting towards me. The abuse and all. So he also says how i went behind his back and talked about him to my brothers and friends and how he never did such heinous works like me and only did one thing that is "use bad words" but I did an infinite list of things. To make him feel secure and happy I had to cut off my brothers and the friends with whom I shared about his abusive behavior. like I said yesterday he brought it up saying how he did one thing and I did a list of things. I tried to explain at first, saying look what you did can be described in one word as abuse but it happened for 2 years and is still happening. He then started saying how I will never understand his pain, how he never went to visit any places without me, but I did, how I went to see movie without him, how I went to restaurant with my friends. although he hangs out with his friends all the time. But for some reason he keeps thinking that its a breach of boundary if I go to any gallery without him or have food without him. I tried to calm him down but he started banging his head on the wall and cursing his life. saying I treated him like a dog by doing these activities without him and calling my dog baby and taking pictures by hugging my girl friends making hugs and the word baby not special or confined to our relationship. And he kept praying to God to end his life saying its so bad.
My mind is almost set on leaving him. I will leave him one day. But I just cant leave him and let him take his own life. He wouldnt see a psychologist or therapist. I keep telling him yes I'm a bad human but your life is valuable but he is still fixated on ending it and says hoe I'm the reason who ruined his life and what not. I care for him deeply. I love him how family loves family. But I dont feel any romantic love for him. I dont wanna leave and have blood on my hands. I just hope he stops being S-dal and lives a normal life.
Its just such an on and off cycle. He gets triggered starts namecalling me, then if i start confronting him, he would say okay im going to jump now. im on the roof and starts putting me as his legacy contact on his socials.
A part of me, had been secretly hoping someday he would actually do it and hence free me from this vicious cycle of abuse. Not just that even after all this saying things like "you spread your legs for guys" (no i didnt, i went to eatch movies with friends withiut him, hence he calls me a cheater) he had the audacity to buy a diamond ring to propose to me. He hasnt done it yet but brought the ring snd keeps saying how we will be getting engaged. But U dont even love this person an ounce. I truly hate thr living heck out of him. I have been secretly praying and hoping either he finds another girl and will no longer be my bf or he just does the unaliving thing. Honestly Im at the last but of my patience. once I look at him I cant even fathom telling him I wanna leave you or I dont love you. but thats the thing. I hate this man so much. Everything about him makes me angry, His views on woman everything makes me angry. But i feel very conflicted of leaving him what if he does it to himself. But this part of me that seriously keeps hoping he would do it so I will get an escape. I know im horrible person for this. but honestly it is what it is

Are you weird? Don't feel like you fit in with any of the clans? You a bit nerdy? Like lore, and good movies like star wars and lord of the rings? Do you also enjoy playing other games than Destiny 2? Have you been an outcast all your life? Then come hang out in Hall of Whispers. We are all weird. We don't judge. We are planet fitness. Judgement free zone. That joke sounded funnier when I thought of it in the shower sorry. If you wanna be an admin just ask.

///11th of June, 2006
“Dad, the moon!” I shouted as I entered the garage. My father was on the floor, under his Bugatti 57SC Atlantic, obsessively removing and re-installing pieces of the car like he always did. He quickly got up, a smile on his grease-stained face.
“Finally!” He said with his beer-breath, grabbing a towel and cleaning most of his face, before running outside as fast as he could. I followed him. I don’t know why I always liked these moments. Any child would find them terribly boring. But I always reveled on them. Maybe it’s because they were the only moments he smiled. He positioned his telescope on our front yard, adjusted the lens, drank a beer can and started looking at the full moon above us.
“Do you see it?” I asked, sitting on the grass next to him.
“Shut up.” He said, still looking. After half an hour of waiting, he started laughing. I opened my mouth to ask if he was seeing it, but I held my voice. Didn’t want to anger him.
“It’s blinking! It’s blinking Johnathan!” He laughed. I smiled. That wasn’t my name, though he called me that. Only several years later I would learn that was the name of his deceased younger brother. Every full moon, we would come look at it with the telescope. And he’d always call me Johnathan. Probably because he was always so drunk. But from always avoiding me or calling me “Brat”, Johnathan was a nice shift.
“Can I see?” I asked, and he lowered the tripod so I could see the moon. There was a small light blinking on it’s surface. It was truly beautiful.
“Fine, my turn again.” My father shoved me back, adjusted the tripod back, and started looking at it again. “It’s blinking so much tonight… Maybe… Brat, get my camera!” He shouted at me. I quickly went inside the house, and looked around for the camera in the living room. There it was, on a little pile of beer cans and empty rythmol boxes in the corner of the room. I hurried back outside, as fast as I could, as I did not want to anger my father.
I stopped on my tracks as soon as I was out of the house. There was a strange being involving my father. It looked like a snake, but I knew it was anything but a snake. There were not snakes that big where I lived. And certainly not with human faces. My father seemed oblivious to it, looking through his telescope, but the thing was all around him, from the bottom of his legs all the way to the top of his head.
“It’s blinking so much…” He said, in awe. The creature looked at me, locking eyes with me, and smiled, revealing several sets of sharp fangs. And then, it disappeared. My father looked at me, he was sweating. “I think… I need to lay down for a bit…” He muttered, before falling on the grass. I spent the entire night trying to wake him up, before my mother found me there crying the following day.
///09th of November 2021
“And that’s why you decided to study astronomy? Really?” Melissa laughed.
“Oh, come on, babe… Don’t make fun of my tragic past.” I said, finishing my waffles. She went to the fridges, grabbed the orange juice, and poured some in our cups.
“Shall we toast?” She asked.
“With orange juice? And what for?”
“Your impending graduation. What else?”
“Impending? Ha! I didn’t even start my capstone thesis.”
“So, what will it be about? Venus, right? Or was it Mars?”
“Nope. Too many people I know will already be working on planets like Venus and Mars. I thought about Neptune, but it’s too far away. So I figured, why not the Moon?”
“Please, don’t tell me this is about your father.”
“Mel, he wasn’t the best dad in the world. But he did left me his collection of vintage cars. This is what paid for my education.”
“He didn’t left it to you, it was divided between you and your mother.”
“Regardless, I feel like I owe him this. Apart from the cars, the moon was the only thing he loved.”
“You owe him nothing, Ezra.”
“I need to know what the blinking lights are! Lunar transient phenomena, it’s how they call them. There’s no scientific explanation to what they are.”
“Just because there’s no known scientific explanation, it doesn’t mean one does not exist. And if there’s one, it’s certainly not creepy snake-man” She laughed.
///04th of September, 2022
The first thing you feel when you start seriously investigating the moon is how mysterious it is. We only went there a handful of times, and then never again. All reasons are given for this, but it never really felt right to me. Maybe what happened to my father always made me feel paranoid about the subject, but I somehow felt there were things about the moon that were hiding on plain sight.
The focus of my research, the lunar transient phenomena, is incredibly unknown. Few studies were done about it, and most of them were never published or were abandoned. The few that were made available were either from little-known universities in third-world countries, in languages that I couldn’t understand and without English translation, or mere compilations of recorded occurrences. I found some theories. The lights were caused by magnetism, or by gasses, or by asteroids, perspective…
But mere hypothesis were not enough for me. I needed to know. I needed to understand. I needed… I needed to confirm it weren’t those lights who killed my father that day.
So, I delved deep into the research. I spent weeks in my bedroom, reading books and more books, entering all sorts of websites, sending emails to experts, looking for anything that could give me more information. But through all my effort, the only thing I could find were theories or hypothesis, all of them with little to no evidence. In my search for answers, I started straying further away from modern science, entering strange websites and reading books that talked about blatant pseudoscience, like astrology or the paranormal.
///17th of February, 2022
“So, what books will you be basing your capstone on?” My orienting professor asked. I could not see his face properly, we were talking through a videocall and he was not very tech savvy, so his eyes and nose were out of the frame.
“Chris, I can only see your mouth!” I laughed.
“Sorry…” He said, adjusting his camera. The framing was not perfect yet, but it was better. "Have you read the books I sent you?"
"They... They were not what I was looking for."
"What were you looking for, Ezra?"
"I told you. Answers. I have been looking for answers, yet I only find questions."
"We will only be able to find real answers when we actually set a lab on the moon. Until then, we will have to live with merely hypothesizing."
"I know, but..."
"Have you tried reading Kulikovsky?Or Hakan Kayal? Non-american studies in general."
"Yes, professor Chris. But... All studies seem to contradict themselves. Some point to studies that I can’t find anywhere, like they don’t exist anymore. Like they were erased by someone…”
“Some texts were never made digital or registered. It’s very unfortunate.”
“Everyone tries to find a logical explanation... What if there isn't one?"
"What is this truly about?"
"What?"
"It's just... You do know you can change your capstone thesis theme, right? Maybe an analysis of something more well-known could work better with your methodology."
"Chris, I will not change my mind. We have discussed this before."
"Well, well... I talked to one of my former colleagues, he is retired now, who also studied the moon, but his research was more focused on gravity. He told me there's a book called "A Study of the Moon with a New Lens" or something like that. Written by one Dr. Karl Hollfern in 1935."
"That is way before LTP was even catalogued."
"Catalogued, yes. Recorded? No. Hollfern studied extensevely the lunar mysteries. Unfortunately, he was executed by the Nazis because he opposed them. But his research lived on. My friend told me they have one of his books in the library. But it's in German."
///18th of February, 2022
I entered the library carrying a bag full of German grammar books and a dictionary. I would not let a little language barrier stop me from getting to the truth.
“Hello, how can I help you?” The librarian asked, barely averting her eyes from her cellphone.
“I’m actually looking for a book that could either be in the astronomy section or in the foreign titles section… Can you help me?”
“Which book?” She was still looking at her phone, seemingly playing one of those generic casual mobile games.
“It’s in German. Old, from the 1930s. Talks about studies of the moon made at the time.”
“Unusual request, but ok…” She put her phone on the counter, and started typing on the computer. “Can’t find it. Do you have the author’s name?”
“Karl Hollfern.”

I was drinking my Starbucks cappuccino while trying to make myself comfortable on the shopping mall bench, to no avail. I was tense. I had never involved myself with something like this. If my mother or girlfriend knew, they would kill me. An older man made his way out of the crowd and patiently sat down next to me.
“You were supposed to be sitting on the bench next to Nike. But no problem.” He laughed.
“Sorry. I got confused…” I facepalmed.
“I got the book you asked me too. But the price is going to be different in your case.”
“As in more expensive?”
“No. Normally, I charge twenty five grand, or double If the job is hard. In your case, the job was ridiculously easy. I will be charging five grand only.”
“Thanks! I’m transferring to your account right now…” I said as I typed on my phone.
“The book is in your car.”
“How did you… Oh, of course.”
“Pleasure doing business with you.” He got up and left. I immediately went to my car. There it was, Eine Untersuchung des Mondes mit einer neuen Linse.

“Honey, are you still awake?” Melissa asked me. I was sitting on a pillow in the corner of the room, aggressively doing more and more Duolingo lessons.
“I’m busy, Mel.” I said, without averting my eyes from the green owl.
“Is this about that German book you have been taking everywhere?”
“No…” I blatantly lied.
“Honey, you’ve been up all night. It’s ten to six.”
“What?”
“You are obsessed with this shit, Ezra! Look at you! This is the third time I find you here studying German instead of sleeping!”
“I’m sorry, but you do know I have a capstone thesis to finish, don’t you?!” I screamed back at her.
“Oh. So this is what’s all about, right?”
“Babe, it’s not like that…” Before I could say anything, she stormed out of the apartment. I stood there, frozen, for a minute or two, before I went back to my Duolingo.

“Hello Ezra” Chris said, as I adjusted my camera. As usual, I couldn’t see his face properly.
“Good evening, professor Chris.”
“Ezra, are you okay? You look tired.”
“I’m fine.” I said vehemently.
“Ezra… I… I have bad news for you.” When he said that, I felt like a hand was smashing my heart. “The university has rejected your intended theme.”
“W-what?”
“You’ll have to pick something else. I’m sorry.”
“What? Why?!”
“Apparently there’s information about Lunar Transient Phenomena that is undisclosed to the general public. The feds were here yesterday, talked with the dean about it. Said that researching the LTP was considered meddling in national security affairs, and that all projects focusing on it were to be halted.”
“Bullshit!”
“I’m sorry. I know how much time you have already invested in this. But we’ll find something else, Ezra. There are more lunar mys…” I interrupted him.
“Why is it so hard to research a simple lunar phenomena?! Every time I advance, everyone tries to block me! They will not stop me from uncovering what happened to my father!” I slammed the table.
“What?”
“This will not stop me.” I muttered, while ending the videocall.
///8th of March, 2022
After some turbulent days, I was finally making progress again. My knowledge of German wasn’t great, but knowing basic grammar, using online dictionaries, and with a little help from online German studying communities, I was making my way through the book.
The book was almost a century old, yet I felt like I was finally making progress. The research by Hollfern was fascinating, but disturbing. He described how the “blinking moonlights” if watched carefully, could be interpreted as having meaning. My German was advancing but far from perfect, so I didn’t have the exact translation, but it said something about the moon speaking in some sort of secret code using the lights.
It also referenced some books, most of which seemed to not exist anymore, but some of them not only existed, I also managed to download their scanned PDFs. It was pretty unorthodox for a scientific study. There was a book on symbols and sigils of different religions, a compilation of theological texts about Gnosticism, a book compiling works by Schopenhauer, and a Hindi scroll explaining Chakras.
I didn’t understood yet how everything connected. Seemed like a strange collection of unrelated weirdness.
///10th of March, 2022
I stumbled upon something I had previously overlooked. There’s an work by Schopenhauer where he discuss reading the Upanishads, which are old Hindi texts. The Hindi text I had downloaded was translated to English, but what if I looked for the original? Maybe there was something I wasn’t shown.
The original had a section that was censored in the English version that talked about a Devas that was corrupted by an evil unknown entity called that attached on it’s solar plexus and made it miserable with overwhelming sadness and pain. A thing described as a floating jester.
///13th of March, 2022
The phone in the living room started ringing. I left it there, unwilling to stop reading the book and trying to translate the contents. The call went to voicemail, and then I heard the caller recording it:
“Hey Ezra, I know you’re going through a bad time, but as your orienting professor, I care for you. You didn't show up for any of your tests. I know you seem to be focused on your research, but this isn't the-" I unplugged the damn thing.

I got evicted after not paying my rent. Or I was supposed to be at least. I picked up my research stuff and rented a cheap motel room on the outskirts of my town. I could not pay for the rent, and least not for now, I spent most of my money buying books and old magazines during the last weeks. I don’t need a place to call mine for now. I just need to find the truth.
I know the government will come after me. I’m coming too close. But if they want me to stop, they will have to kill me. I’ve already lost everything. This investigation is all I have left.
///18th of March, 2022
There's an old website that I found while researching. A true relic, seems to be from the early 90s. It contains old conspiracies theories, like stuff about the Illuminati and New Age, Satanic Panic, how Ronald Reagan was actually replaced, among other things. But there was something among the insanity that I felt was the last thing missing in my investigation. The true reason why we never returned to the Moon and why the Soviets never even attempted landing on it.
According to that website, during the last moon expedition, in December of 1972, the astronauts were secretly instructed to find out what was causing the Lunar Transient Phenomena, and spent three days on the Taurus-Littrow Valley, the region where the phenomena was more frequent on the previous five years. They were carrying a seismometer, as the most influential theory at the time was that the LTP was being caused by moonquakes cracking the surface of the natural satellite and releasing gasses.
But what the seismometer detected was that there were no such thing as moonquakes. Their equipments revealed humongous structures, seemingly biological or mechanical, moving under the moon surface.
One day before they left, NASA detected an instance of LTP a few kilometers near where they were stationed, so the astronauts went there to check. What they found there was never disclosed, but some theorize they met one of the beings responsible for causing the blinking lights. And that was the reason humanity abandoned all expeditions to the moon. After five missions in three years, we never returned there.
///20th of March, 2022
I woke up feeling like my head was spinning. I was lying on the sofa of my motel room. Once again, I had spent the entire previous night and day reading texts cited by Dr. Hollfern. My tablet was out of battery, so I got up, feeling pain all over my body, and went looking for my charger. It took me a couple of minutes to notice the two men wearing dark suits, black ties and dark sunglasses sitting on my sofa. One of them had a silenced pistol on his hand.
“Good afternoon, Ezra Thornbridge.” The one holding the firearm said, with a voice so ordinary it was scary.
“W-what?!” I blurted, still trying to overcome the pain.
“Oh, don’t mind us. We are just here to recover something.” The other man said, smiling.
“Something that isn’t yours, yet you’re in possession of.” The man with the gun complemented.
“I… Who are you?” I asked.
“Right now, I’m the man pointing the gun at you.” The man with the weapon said, while his partner just shrugged.
“Fine, I’ll return your damn book. But I already know about it. I already put the pieces together."
"Oh, interesting. What do you think you know, Thornbridge?" One of them mocked.
"The Solar Plexus Clown Glider. I have studied them in depth. Or do you prefer to call them like the Gnostic theologians called them back in the day? Archons…”
“Look what we have here, Spencer. Like father like son.” The guy with the gun scoffed.
“I told you we should have just doped him and looked for the damn book while he slept. He is totally gone.” Spencer said.
“I’m not crazy! The Archons are real! They killed my father! They kill people! And you, instead of trying to protect the people, just hide their existence, just lie, just lie and lie and lie!”
“How can you be so smart yet so stupid?” The guy with the gun said.
“The Archons don’t kill people, Ezra. They just make you miserable and drown you in fear and pain.” Spencer said.
“But I saw one kill my father.”
“Your father died of chronic ventricular arrhythmia coupled with excessive alcohol ingestion. The thing you saw was merely an emotional parasite, feeding off his negative emotions and influencing him to indulge on them.” Spencer said.
“Does this mean…”
“Yes. It also infected you that day. That’s why you saw it. It’s been with you ever since. The more you learn about it, the more you dread, the more you obsess, the more you lose… You were feeding it all along.” Spencer explained.
“And why do you think we tried to protect you, dumbass? If the knowledge was harmless, we wouldn’t be around breaking the law and breaking people’s necks to prevent it from spreading.” The guy with the weapon said.
“It’s not too late, Ezra. When your father was alive, there wasn’t much we could do, but now we have technology to make them go away. But it has a cost.” Spencer explained.
“What cost?”
“You will forget your father. You will forget most about the moon and astronomy. Probably the entirety of the last few months. And there are probable side effects, like sporadic short-term amnesia.” Spencer said.
“Or we can just fucking shoot you in the forehead right now to prevent the thing from infecting more people. Your choice.” The guy with the gun said. I just turned around and ran as fast as I can towards the window behind me. I jumped out of it, shattering the glass, and fell on the hard cold concrete of the parking lot. I tried to get up, my body was all cut from the glass, and I felt something warm on my back, even though it was raining.
“Are you stupid?!” I heard the guy with the gun shouting while he and the other agent descended the staircase that led to the parking lot. I finally got up, feeling cold from the rain, and tried to run, but could only limp. Yeah, jumping out of the window like I was in an 80s action movie wasn’t the best idea. I heard another click behind me, and fell to the floor. I could see the agents running towards me, smoke coming out of the gun. There seemed to be snakes around both of them, smiling witch their human faces and several sets of sharp fangs.
I looked towards the sky. Among the raining clouds, I could see the moon above me, full and blooming. Blinking. Blinking so much.

///11th of June, 2006
“Dad, the moon!” I shouted as I entered the garage. My father was on the floor, under his Bugatti 57SC Atlantic, obsessively removing and re-installing pieces of the car like he always did. He quickly got up, a smile on his grease-stained face.
“Finally!” He said with his beer-breath, grabbing a towel and cleaning most of his face, before running outside as fast as he could. I followed him. I don’t know why I always liked these moments. Any child would find them terribly boring. But I always reveled on them. Maybe it’s because they were the only moments he smiled. He positioned his telescope on our front yard, adjusted the lens, drank a beer can and started looking at the full moon above us.
“Do you see it?” I asked, sitting on the grass next to him.
“Shut up.” He said, still looking. After half an hour of waiting, he started laughing. I opened my mouth to ask if he was seeing it, but I held my voice. Didn’t want to anger him.
“It’s blinking! It’s blinking Johnathan!” He laughed. I smiled. That wasn’t my name, though he called me that. Only several years later I would learn that was the name of his deceased younger brother. Every full moon, we would come look at it with the telescope. And he’d always call me Johnathan. Probably because he was always so drunk. But from always avoiding me or calling me “Brat”, Johnathan was a nice shift.
“Can I see?” I asked, and he lowered the tripod so I could see the moon. There was a small light blinking on it’s surface. It was truly beautiful.
“Fine, my turn again.” My father shoved me back, adjusted the tripod back, and started looking at it again. “It’s blinking so much tonight… Maybe… Brat, get my camera!” He shouted at me. I quickly went inside the house, and looked around for the camera in the living room. There it was, on a little pile of beer cans and empty rythmol boxes in the corner of the room. I hurried back outside, as fast as I could, as I did not want to anger my father.
I stopped on my tracks as soon as I was out of the house. There was a strange being involving my father. It looked like a snake, but I knew it was anything but a snake. There were not snakes that big where I lived. And certainly not with human faces. My father seemed oblivious to it, looking through his telescope, but the thing was all around him, from the bottom of his legs all the way to the top of his head.
“It’s blinking so much…” He said, in awe. The creature looked at me, locking eyes with me, and smiled, revealing several sets of sharp fangs. And then, it disappeared. My father looked at me, he was sweating. “I think… I need to lay down for a bit…” He muttered, before falling on the grass. I spent the entire night trying to wake him up, before my mother found me there crying the following day.
///09th of November 2021
“And that’s why you decided to study astronomy? Really?” Melissa laughed.
“Oh, come on, babe… Don’t make fun of my tragic past.” I said, finishing my waffles. She went to the fridges, grabbed the orange juice, and poured some in our cups.
“Shall we toast?” She asked.
“With orange juice? And what for?”
“Your impending graduation. What else?”
“Impending? Ha! I didn’t even start my capstone thesis.”
“So, what will it be about? Venus, right? Or was it Mars?”
“Nope. Too many people I know will already be working on planets like Venus and Mars. I thought about Neptune, but it’s too far away. So I figured, why not the Moon?”
“Please, don’t tell me this is about your father.”
“Mel, he wasn’t the best dad in the world. But he did left me his collection of vintage cars. This is what paid for my education.”
“He didn’t left it to you, it was divided between you and your mother.”
“Regardless, I feel like I owe him this. Apart from the cars, the moon was the only thing he loved.”
“You owe him nothing, Ezra.”
“I need to know what the blinking lights are! Lunar transient phenomena, it’s how they call them. There’s no scientific explanation to what they are.”
“Just because there’s no known scientific explanation, it doesn’t mean one does not exist. And if there’s one, it’s certainly not creepy snake-man” She laughed.
///04th of September, 2022
The first thing you feel when you start seriously investigating the moon is how mysterious it is. We only went there a handful of times, and then never again. All reasons are given for this, but it never really felt right to me. Maybe what happened to my father always made me feel paranoid about the subject, but I somehow felt there were things about the moon that were hiding on plain sight.
The focus of my research, the lunar transient phenomena, is incredibly unknown. Few studies were done about it, and most of them were never published or were abandoned. The few that were made available were either from little-known universities in third-world countries, in languages that I couldn’t understand and without English translation, or mere compilations of recorded occurrences. I found some theories. The lights were caused by magnetism, or by gasses, or by asteroids, perspective…
But mere hypothesis were not enough for me. I needed to know. I needed to understand. I needed… I needed to confirm it weren’t those lights who killed my father that day.
So, I delved deep into the research. I spent weeks in my bedroom, reading books and more books, entering all sorts of websites, sending emails to experts, looking for anything that could give me more information. But through all my effort, the only thing I could find were theories or hypothesis, all of them with little to no evidence. In my search for answers, I started straying further away from modern science, entering strange websites and reading books that talked about blatant pseudoscience, like astrology or the paranormal.
///17th of February, 2022
“So, what books will you be basing your capstone on?” My orienting professor asked. I could not see his face properly, we were talking through a videocall and he was not very tech savvy, so his eyes and nose were out of the frame.
“Chris, I can only see your mouth!” I laughed.
“Sorry…” He said, adjusting his camera. The framing was not perfect yet, but it was better. "Have you read the books I sent you?"
"They... They were not what I was looking for."
"What were you looking for, Ezra?"
"I told you. Answers. I have been looking for answers, yet I only find questions."
"We will only be able to find real answers when we actually set a lab on the moon. Until then, we will have to live with merely hypothesizing."
"I know, but..."
"Have you tried reading Kulikovsky?Or Hakan Kayal? Non-american studies in general."
"Yes, professor Chris. But... All studies seem to contradict themselves. Some point to studies that I can’t find anywhere, like they don’t exist anymore. Like they were erased by someone…”
“Some texts were never made digital or registered. It’s very unfortunate.”
“Everyone tries to find a logical explanation... What if there isn't one?"
"What is this truly about?"
"What?"
"It's just... You do know you can change your capstone thesis theme, right? Maybe an analysis of something more well-known could work better with your methodology."
"Chris, I will not change my mind. We have discussed this before."
"Well, well... I talked to one of my former colleagues, he is retired now, who also studied the moon, but his research was more focused on gravity. He told me there's a book called "A Study of the Moon with a New Lens" or something like that. Written by one Dr. Karl Hollfern in 1935."
"That is way before LTP was even catalogued."
"Catalogued, yes. Recorded? No. Hollfern studied extensevely the lunar mysteries. Unfortunately, he was executed by the Nazis because he opposed them. But his research lived on. My friend told me they have one of his books in the library. But it's in German."
///18th of February, 2022
I entered the library carrying a bag full of German grammar books and a dictionary. I would not let a little language barrier stop me from getting to the truth.
“Hello, how can I help you?” The librarian asked, barely averting her eyes from her cellphone.
“I’m actually looking for a book that could either be in the astronomy section or in the foreign titles section… Can you help me?”
“Which book?” She was still looking at her phone, seemingly playing one of those generic casual mobile games.
“It’s in German. Old, from the 1930s. Talks about studies of the moon made at the time.”
“Unusual request, but ok…” She put her phone on the counter, and started typing on the computer. “Can’t find it. Do you have the author’s name?”
“Karl Hollfern.”
“Uncanny. It’s unlisted.”
“What?”

I finally got up, feeling cold from the rain, and tried to run, but could only limp. Yeah, jumping out of the window like I was in an 80s action movie wasn’t the best idea. I heard another click behind me, and fell to the floor. I could see the agents running towards me, smoke coming out of the gun. There seemed to be snakes around both of them, smiling witch their human faces and several sets of sharp fangs.
I looked towards the sky. Among the raining clouds, I could see the moon above me, full and blooming. Blinking. Blinking so much.
