Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1977, DJ Shaw was 17 before she was able to see most of the United States. When she was 17, she decided to join the fair, traveling with them to Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Once the fair arrived in Lake Charles, DJ had decided it was time to go home. She much rather preferred to sit around writing, or even telling, the lives of the people who lived in her head. She had been good at story-telling from the time she was about ten, when she scared herself so bad with her story of the Boogey-man that she couldn’t move off her bed. Her siblings would come to her for their scare fix, because they knew she could come up with something on the spot. / Having found what she loved to do at an early age, she continued to write down her stories and any poetry that came into her head. She had stacks upon stacks of notebooks filled with her work. Her love of horror movies made her stories that much more chilling.

The numbers 8716 keep circling my head But I don't know what they mean Are they the last four of a phone number? A password? A grave site? Madness is circling, slowly descending The voices are growing louder with each passing day But I still can't understand what they are saying What do they want? What do they need? Will I ever understand them? Madness is circling, slowly descending Deadlines looming, losing concentration There is never enough time! Will I finish with time to go through it? Will I get it to her on time? Will it be good enough? Madness is circling, slowly descending The children have started to give me wide-berth I think they know it is only a matter of time Will they take heed? Will they ever understand? Or will they push until there is nothing more of me? Madness is circling, slowly descending It's finally dark outside Or maybe it's just dark within my head Is it finished? Is it time to rest? Or do I need to push myself further still? Madness is circling, slowly descending Life has lost all meaning I have lost my definition Have I become nothing more than an echo of what I once was? Will I remain in this place for the rest of time? Who can answer these questions? Madness has circled, finally descended
