We started on the outskirts of a big lake. The name of the lake, like everything else, we leave unnamed. The authorities do the filling-in later. Give them too much and it\u2019s just another robbery or break-in and you don\u2019t want that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But we had something in mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Daylight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It almost never happens during the height of a new day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It never happens during the week when vacationing families, looking to get away from the city, fill the houses lining the lake.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Camera shot wide across a paved road.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I can still picture SUVs and Escalades, newly washed sedans and sports-utility vans driving the speed limit, hulking with them bikes, boats, and other luxury items. We spotted the house on the far eastern bank.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Camera narrow in on that driveway, the front gate opening and closing on its own. We walked around the back of the house. It was impressive, really it was.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Just because those shrubs grow high, and the vines cover your windows, doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t someone watching.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We watched.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We stepped inside these homes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We took our time, learning their routines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We weren\u2019t going for just another performance, you see.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We spent at least eight months just on the setup, the planning. When it finally happened and he was in place, waiting for the first family to arrive, me in the backyard, waiting for the first cue, it was serenity.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It felt like\u2026 like a perfect fit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And then the family showed up.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>There was a daughter\u2014about eleven years of age\u2014and the parents. They drove up the driveway, took their time getting situated, airing out the house, the wife wandering around out front, checking to see that the landscaper had successfully kept the flowers and other vegetation in shape. That freshly cut lawn wasn\u2019t the husband\u2019s doing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We watched a crew arrive and tend to the house\u2019s upkeep.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Two actually. One of the employees wasn\u2019t as careful as the others. It\u2019s how we were able to get inside the house. It\u2019s easier than you think. It almost never has to come to actual break-ins or invasive lock picking.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Never learned how to pick a lock.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Few do. It\u2019s easier to figure out the source of the locked door than the lock itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By the time the daughter was indoors with the husband, who worked on fixing the power via the switchbox in the basement, the power we extricated an hour before their arrival.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He knocked on the door gently. He said what he was supposed to say, \u201cHello, I\u2019m from the house down the road. We were wondering if you have any power? Ours seems to have gone out.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>From there it was the wife calling to the husband, who then seemed relieved that it wasn\u2019t just their house that suffered from the power outage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By then he was already inside. And so was I.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But I waited until he dropped a picture frame, the glass shattering, distracting the wife, who went into the room I just left, the kitchen, for a dustbin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The husband tended to the broken frame.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He did a great job playing the pity case, apologizing profusely.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Then I was there, and they both wondered how I got in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019re friends, brothers actually.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>See how I switched it up, making it unbelievable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It was up to me to tend to the rest. I asked if they had a pet, maybe a dog.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I asked about their daughter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By then, the daughter had been neutralized\u2014tied up and taped\u2014upstairs in her bedroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The wife called for the daughter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The husband ran to fetch her.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The wife didn\u2019t take much to subdue.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>She didn\u2019t even scream. She was all shivers\u2014which I couldn\u2019t stand\u2014so I got him to hold onto her while I followed the husband up the stairs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Right around the time both the husband and the camera panned across a frightened daughter, a daughter that pissed herself while alone in her room, the basics of the invasion had already begun. A quick strike to the back of the husband\u2019s head with a blunt object\u2014in this case it was one end of the daughter\u2019s skateboard\u2014and we could get to work. We tied them to their individual beds. The husband regained consciousness and we got to talking. He proved to be an easy one to break. Talk about his life\u2014career, hobbies, various flings he had on the side\u2014and he\u2019d begin to sob.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>My partner-in-performance mentioned that his wife was attractive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I joked about guessing her age.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I joked about whether she was in shape.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I wasn\u2019t joking when I asked the husband. And then the husband wouldn\u2019t tell me. We had to find out a different way. I brought in the daughter, untied her so that she could run. The daughter forgot about the rope around her ankles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPoor thing. Now that didn\u2019t need to happen, did it?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plastic bag over and around the daughter\u2019s head got them listening. All throughout, we both looked to the situation, looked for something we could use. We needed to improvise because we were ahead of schedule.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Then I said the one thing that defined everything else:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cLet\u2019s play a game.\u201d With great effort, they played out various games in order to be untied, led back out in front of the house, and led to believe that they\u2019d have to eat grass, if only to see that they aren\u2019t above being demeaned.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The daughter didn\u2019t make it though. I think we didn\u2019t let in enough air. She suffocated on the fifth or sixth tightening of the bag around her neck. It was part of the game. Guess right and the daughter doesn\u2019t get hurt. This one moment became one of the more memorable characteristics of our performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It didn\u2019t end there either.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The games continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>From the front yard, we saw the second family, as prototypical as the first, waving to each other, talking about dinner plans and yachts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shortly after finishing with the husband and wife, we followed the camera over to the next house, the next family. He asked about the power being out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I wandered around back and waved to the husband with his young son, who had been approximately nine years old, where they were cleaning, maintaining their yacht.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I complimented them on the yacht\u2019s condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I told them I was a neighbor, using the same excuse: power-outage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We made this one last a little longer. The wife being the last to go, sinking to the bottom of the lake like dead weight. We increased the games with each family until we had the sixth in turmoil\u2014two teenage sons competing for their own lives while we watched.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By the time the authorities arrived to play their part, one son ran while the other chased after. It became their own deadly pursuit, a game based around the guilt they wouldn\u2019t be able to lose. The camera captured it long before the one son tackled the other to the ground, near a dock, and drove his thumbs into both sockets. With an injury like that, you don\u2019t just lose sight; you lose your life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We weren\u2019t there though.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Later, it became just another piece of evidence, the footage for all to see.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ll tell you, though, in those last couple moments when our performance became more than the sum of each individual part, I could almost see it all\u2014everything\u2014for what it really is. I could see the various roles and the various emotions; I could see the authorities getting the call, combing the crime scene, marking up each house for their inevitable burial. I could see the effect of the events on the private community, causing a drop in property values and a rise in paranoia. I could see popular culture wrapping its mind around the performance. I could see borderline success long before we got an offer. I could see the annals of privacy and personal space shifting and contorting to welcome in a world realer than real. I could see the cults and their members clamoring over the uncensored footage. I could see them going through, like armchair investigators, long before the edited, commercialized version ever makes it onto the screen. I could see the trail of evidence slowly reaching us. I could see my own concern, worry mounting, if only because it would be more dramatic for it to end with our identities being revealed. Yet, like any other successful performance, we are deemed \u201cinvaders.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Without names established they couldn\u2019t trace back our identities. Without fingerprints or true faces on footage\u2014our likenesses little more than blurred pixels\u2014the authorities couldn\u2019t get any closer than recovering the evidence and initial plan for invasion. It was an invasion, and it invaded the collective senses. I could see success in all its conceptual glory. And it is beautiful. You know it is, otherwise you wouldn\u2019t be listening. It\u2019s truly magical when you think that the only people that could ever identify us are the victims that end up losing their lives and thereby immortalizing our efforts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s a certain kind of celebrity; one lived from behind a number of screens, equally factual and false. We take it because of the performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We take it because it entertains the millions that watch.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We take it because it\u2019s ours to take.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We decided to take it. Now I\u2019m going to ask you\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you going to decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cemetery Dance is proud to join our friends at CLASH Books to reveal the cover of Michael J.
