Sadist… No, malicious. Nah, what do you call it when someone delights in the discomfort of others? Schadenfreude? I think it’s a sadist, but since that was the point, and I’ve done it myself… It takes one to know one, hey? I don’t usually read short stories, they always cut off right at the good part, but I’m glad I gave this one a chance. It’s excellent. Perfect for MM. Do you do the Macabre Monday thing? You’d fit right in.
LOL! I think you just call that person a "writer".
I'm so glad you gave my story a shot and that you enjoyed it. Short stories are my bread and butter. I'd much rather write them than novels (though I do write novels).
Tell me more about Macabre Monday. Macabre is one of my favorite words. Right up there with defenestrate.
Seriously? You don't know about the big MM? It's like Sci-Friday but for horror. A bunch of stackers post every Monday about some horror thing they're doing, reviews, rec's discussions and original stories, tagging each other to spread the word. It's a whole big thing. They even have a monthly (I think) roundup, and writing competitions now and then. It's a whole bunch of fun. There's a small team of people running it. I'm not sure who the others are, but John Coon is one of them. Honeygloom is also one of the names I see often. I suck at writing horror, but you should definitely give it a try.
Oh my! Wow, and you’ve already got 1000 subs! That’s amazing. Great job. MM is a lot of fun, and definitely worth checking out if you’re into horror. They started a myth a while back called The Suff. Awesome stuff there.
I realized my lip was curling as I read this. Incredible writing! I’ve stayed in places like this. Now you make me realize the motels I’ve stayed in weren’t so bad.
I knew it! I knew there were things under beds! Great, shivery story!
Thanks, Liz! I’m still trying to decide if it’s better not to look and never know or to look and risk finding out.
Intense. Well done dude. I was reading through my fingers there at the end.
This makes me unreasonably happy.

I'll have a look! I may have seen it but I've only been active on here for about a month or so.

Noooope!

Thanks, Joy! Yeah, at least there were no flesh eating ghouls. At least we hope not. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
