about

04 – 6114 CALIFORNIA STREET
For almost two years, it seemed the lost people were connected to each other only by Mr. Lullaby’s poem. It was a cold evening. While driving my car I listened to my radio. They talked about the kidnappings and new pieces of information released by the police. Apparently all those kidnapped people where members of satanic sects. What’s more, all of them attended the secret funeral of Anton Szandor LaVey, which took place in October 1997 in Colma and before that, they all had taken part in rituals in Black House on 6114 California Street. Yet the most intriguing things were objects found at the crime scenes.
One of the victims had a beautiful necklace, which was ripped of her neck during her abduction. It was exactly when the victim’s family found the pieces of the necklace neatly arranged on Mr. Lullaby’s letter that the police started the investigation. The artist’s incredible craft and his detail-orientation were seen only under a very strong magnifying glass. While from a distance it looked like an abstract piece of art, if you looked closer, you’d seen terrifying figures in some kind of convulsions. They were like movie frames. However, the necklace wasn’t only about its artistic value. It had a subliminal message. After tests, it turned out the necklace was made of infants’ bones. Police quickly figured it out. The victim’s calendar, tickets, visas – it all seemed to confirm one terrible fact. The kidnapped girl had attended the infamous ‘Demon’s Feast’. Its aim was to sacrifice thirty three infants to Satan during three months of rituals. Guess how many pieces had the necklace got?
Another victim’s room was even more petrifying. It looked like a big altar, full of religious artifacts. Crosses, pictures of saints, candles… Only a religious fanatic would be able to live in such a place. Horrific dolls were found among some old stuff packed in boxes. One of them, surely the pearl of this sick collection, was dressed as a priest. But it wasn’t all. There were also disturbingly specific tools. For example, there was a round object with spikes to be used when you felt sleepy while studying the Holy Bible. In such a case you just needed to clench your hand on the object and the spikes wouldn’t let you de-concentrate. Some punishment tools showing traces of usage were lying on the prie-dieu. The investigators found a secret passage behind a bookcase. It was very narrow, so only almost an anorectic person would be able to get through it. A claustrophobic, dark room was on the other side. There were no lights there, but surprisingly a night-vision device was right at the entrance to this den. A big steel necropsy table was placed in the middle, surrounded with garage-like shelves full of jars with conserved parts of corpses, even the whole dead bodies in some of them. Humans of all ages, cats, dogs, chickens, all at once, arranged in a sick way. Behind that bizarre exhibition stood even bigger jars with eyes watching, fingers pointing at unwelcome visitors, jaws screaming in a silent shout. This macabre discovery resulted in the thorough searching of the rest of the apartment. When the investigators got to the Bible and opened it, they were stunned. Almost every page had traces of dried excreta, sperm and saliva. But among those hideous stains they saw beautiful and horrifying visions made of billions little strokes with annotations in unknown languages.
Yet the most twisted puzzle was connected with an online server called durda.com. All victims had their e-mail accounts there. The server and the domain were pre-paid until December 2097. Accounts themselves had no limits, neither in data transfer, nor in capacity. The site itself showed nothing, not even a logo. No menu, no links, no content – just plain emptiness. The server was established on 1992’s Boxing Day from somewhere in California. The webmaster was anonymous; the whole thing was pre-paid so no information was required. No one stood in charge of the server therefore potential users were able to create their e-mail accounts without any assistance. And durda.com offered nothing but electronic mail. It seemed to be an ideal way to communicate without any outer control. But when the investigators knew where to look, the answers came straight at them. As it turned out, Durda was the name of a Mars-crossing asteroid, which was discovered on the same Boxing Day the server was established. But what’s strangest of all, it was labeled under number 6141! The investigators instantly connected it with the Black House’s address. Only the two last digits were in different order. Was it a coincidence? An investigating squad was sent to 6114 California Street, but nothing was found there.
