Page 195 of "Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix || Rough Translation.

This is just a rough translation of page 195 of "Horrorstor" by Grady Hendrix in the paperback US edition published by "Quirk". If I have got anything wrong here, feel free to comment and I will fix the mistakes.
(it's not a different language, it's just written in very hard to read handwriting, pictured below)

Penitents of the Cuyahoga Panopticon.
Under the care and treatment of: Warden Josiah Worth.
September
1831.

Number: 00314.
Name: Harold Ashes.
Offense: Vagabonding and barratry.
Sentence: 3 years  4 years.
Treatment: His degenerate aspect and sallow features caused me to assign to him seven hours on the Tread Wheel each day. His sickly aspect increases but I suspect him of malingering. Nothing is so certain as that the evils of illness can be shaken off by hard work.

Number: 00315.
Name: Leon Bultg (?).
Offense: Consorting with low women and public inebriation.
Sentence: 2 years  3 years 4 years.
Treatment: A daily dose of Mercury has calmed him greatly. Those who sow no seeds reap (possibly seek) no reward.

Number: 00316
Name: Osborne Goldberg.
Offense: Threatening behaviour.
Sentence: 3 years.
Treatment: This sallow fellow seems to be quite ill, suffering from the lunacy and bearing all the physical signs of degeneracy. We have prescribed to him the Iron Cap to be worn at all times, and when he becomes agitated, a few hours on the rotational board  encourages him to swoon and purge himself of vile fluids. Amid an eternal heritage of sorrow and suffering and work begins (?).

Number: 00317.
Name: Matthew Sweagen (?).
Offense: Petty larceny with partial verdict.
Sentence: 4 years  5 years.
Treatment: Sentenced to workhouse where his abusive temperament required (?) him to be remanded into my case. Prescribed ten thousand turns of the crank each day. Notice that flesh of his hands has begun to slough off and become full of pus. For his health, we have removed his thumbs. He has now returned to the crank.

I hope you find this helpful. The original copy of this page is pictured below:

Awesome People #1 - Stacy Hinojosa!


Stacy Hinojosa is not a woman I have actually met, but I thought I would include her in my awesome people series anyway. Stacy is a gaming YouTuber - most popular for The Cube, Dogcraft and the work she has done with Joey - known as StacyPlays, StacyVlogs or @StacySays. 

The reason why she's awesome? Firstly, she's unique. She calls us "Potato Flakes" because of where she used to live in Idaho, the factory that made her favorite chocolate milk uses potato flakes to thicken the mixture. In her Cube series, she let the viewers have a say in some of the things that she did, and in Dogcraft she shows viewers the fanart people have drawn for her, and names dogs after people who she has taken a particular shine to. My favourite thing about her is her excitement and how much work she puts into every video she uploads.

We're also very similar! We both love dogs, books, chocolate milk, animals in general, Minecraft, we both screw up a lot despite our good intentions, we're also both a little bit chubby! Similar things have also happened in both out lives and even though I'm eighteen and she's thirty-three, she's the YouTuber who I feel the most "connection" with. 

I was in England at the same time she was and I never got the chance to meet her, which I'm a little sad about but hey social anxiety would have never let me meet her anyway! 

I uploaded this photo: 



And she favourited and replied to me!!!!: 



So, I guess that was second best. She also has two very adorable dogs, Page and Molly! Watching her videos have actually helped my anxiety and depression, she just gives me a sense of comfort and happiness and never really talks about anything that makes me feel worse (that topic is for an autism talk post...), so for that, I thank her for all the work she puts into uploading twice a day almost everyday.
