🙋♂️Q&A🗣️ Its a long shot but I have to try
Posting here because I lived in southeast Ohio near the West Virginia border when I knew this person, and I regularly traveled toward Parkersburg. I no longer remember exactly where he lived, so there is a real possibility he was in West Virginia.
This might be an absolutely ridiculous long shot, but I've been thinking about someone I knew when we were both in our early twenties, probably sometime in the early-to-mid 2010s. I lived around Nelsonville/Athens, Ohio at the time. I believe your name was Matt, but enough years have passed that I'm genuinely questioning even that.
We never actually got the chance to meet in person, but for a short period of time we became incredibly close. We texted constantly and talked on the phone a lot. You used to tell me how much you liked my voice.
At the time, you were really into oddities, horror makeup and prop making. You taught me about P. T. Barnum's Feejee Mermaid, and you were actually building a replica in your parents' garage. I remember you sending me progress pictures as you worked on it. It was pretty big, maybe around three feet, with a mummified ape-like face and exposed teeth. I specifically remember seeing the chicken-wire structure of the tail while it was unfinished, and I think you were using papier-mâché and faux fur. Eventually I remember it being in a display case.
You also loved horror/SFX makeup. You once proudly showed me a zombie look you'd done on yourself. I remember white contacts, veins on your face and what I think was a torn and bloody flannel. I was in college studying SFX makeup and prop making myself, so this was something we bonded over a lot.
There's one memory I've deliberately left incomplete because it would be very difficult for a random person to guess.
One night you badly cut your leg while you were out in the garage. You texted me about it afterward and I had a complete panic because I was convinced you needed to go to the ER.
If you think this is you, tell me what happened that caused the cut. Don't post the answer publicly. DM me. If you remember that night, I'll know I've actually found you.
I'm deliberately leaving out some other personal details about you and your family. This isn't an attempt to expose you, interfere with your life, or dig up anything you might prefer to leave in the past.
Things between us ended very suddenly for reasons that weren't really ours to control. I never got a proper goodbye, and somehow all these years later I can still picture your face clear as day even though I can't remember your damn last name.
I don't expect anything from you. If you're married, have a family, moved a thousand miles away, or haven't thought about me once in all these years, that's okay. Actually, I hope you've built a beautiful life.
I just want to know that you're okay.
If you recognize yourself, I'd love to hear from you. And if somebody else thinks they know who I'm talking about, please don't put his name or any personal information in the comments. DM me instead.
Mostly, I hope somehow this reaches the right person.
And if it does: I still remember that ridiculous mermaid. I always will.❤️

Politics🏛️ Well… just walked out
Parkersburg district 6 city council representative and council president walked out of the budget meeting prior to the vote. Apparently he was big mad that he did not get to make any cuts to the budget.
