Mark Meltzer Writings: Days 44-57

Note on visiting the Scarlet Sovereign Warehouse
I discovered more or less what I expected - a run down / abandoned

warehse. by the old piers in Batt'y Park area. The loading docks were filled

with moldering boxes. (What the scavengers didn't find - the rats did!)

Finding the "Red Queen's looking glass" in this shambles of a building was a

bit of a challenge. I finally discovered a toilet in the back area - blocked off

by fallen timbers. I saw the door: painted red. Managed to pry it open with

a crowbar. Insdie, there was a large mirror set into the wall. Wrapped my

hand in a rag and smashed it open.

Tucked in the hollow in the wall, I found three items: a scroll of paper (a very

unusual map / chart?)* A reel-to-reel tape. And a third item - poss. the

most significant!

Breaking & entering is not my forte - I was spotted by cops as I left. Not

Det. Stango's goons - ordinary Dock patrolmen - they assumed I was just a

nut-job/scavenger - so I played the part. ACted the fool and convinced them

I was harmless. They let me go - though they'll have a hell of a story to tell

at the station - about the wacko with the BLANK BLUE MAP!*(Hope that

Stango doesn't catch wind of it!) ← so much for THAT dream...

carry in valuable information at approx. sunrise at these times.

Notes about Rapture, 8/68

AUGUST, 1968


 * WORKING THEORIES
 *        at "Poseidon's door" / "floor?"

1) "RAPTURE" is a PLACE - apparently a city

''                                                             Poss. flooded?''

2) "RAPTURE" may be the source of the "Traveler"


 * Destination of abducted children?

3) "RAPTURE" IS WHERE I WILL FIND CINDY

4) "RAPTURE" is somehow connected to "The Vanishing"


 * (Late 1940s-early '50s disappearances)

5) The ONLY researcher who may have made this connection


 * was ORRIN O. LUTWIDGE (sought "true rapture")

6) Location of "RAPTURE" may be connected with so-called


 * "FROZEN TRIANGLE" in Iceland/Greenland region.

7) Lutwidge may have been involved with person or persons


 * unknown in transporting goods to/from "RAPTURE"

8) Locations in Lutwidge's "jewelry box" may indicate


 * where to find flotsam/jetsam from Rapture.

9) Any evidence from Beaches may point


 * the way to "RAPTURE"


 * ↑(wherever/whatever THAT is!)

Calendar Piece Note
Tomorrow is the day!

Hoping my contacts hit the other 9 beaches...

got a feeling this is BIG.
