Reply to comment by escher4096 in [SP] What sort of ghost would haunt a gas station? by hogw33d
I like how the ghosts were visitors who had coincidentally died near or in the gas station. It seems more of these kinds of deaths occured than it seems, as our protagonist is rather used to all this.

Reply to [PI] A vampire woman stands in front of you. "any last words before I feed on you, human?" she says. Instead of fear a filling of pity wells up inside you.

I have never gotten so emotional over such a short story, bravo!

Nothing in the rules that says you can't do that, as far as I'm aware.

Does that also mean the life expectancy of things around us that we know to be shorter is now longer than ours?
Like 80 year old ants?

Damn, that ending though. You sorta expected it coming but the subtleness of it all got me.
+1 from me.

Reply to comment by Tryctophobia in [PM] Give me a random book title or whatever words you mix into a title and I'll write a short summary for it. by Thainexylon
>!Dan Solace!< is a stunning, successful, sexy, sadistic man... Yes, he is sadistic for he lusts the blood of the victims he strikes— mostly, those were people who have done something bad— for he is a business man by day, serial killer by night. With over 47 identified victims, and possibly more than that, he is quite prolific with his sprees.
This book contains every atrocities he committed against his victims each having their own story, most are gruesome to the point that there's not a single speck of mercy left. It also goes to show what cruel artistry this man has, to convey the meaning behind every scene.
Price: $57.50
There's a sticky note on the book, it says:
. ...- . .-. -.-- / ...- .. -.-. - .. -- / .. ... / .-- --- .-. - .... / .- / -.. --- .-.. .-.. .- .-.

You should teach history course on a macro scale. Well done.

Reply to [WP] You died and awoke in the afterlife. It's quite nice actually. The people and atmosphere are a lot nicer than you are used to and there is no stress or pressure. When you ask what good deed got you into heaven you are informed that this is hell, followed by a visit from a very concerned demon. by Kitty_Fuchs

You are an incredible author! You gave me chills. I love the way you write. Love it. I'm so looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future

"Come on snap out of it. Your still alive everything is fine okay. Your life is great remeber. Nothing bad is happening in the world." I say to myself looking in the mirror. today is one of the bad days since it all started. "just remember the three reason I'm definitely not a zombie:
- I would have died. (I'd remember dying right?)
- I don't look like a zombie.
- I don't feel like a zombie."
I've told myself these three things everyday since the apocalypse began. I'm terrified of becoming a zombie. I love my life. I have, well had a great boyfriend. And my parents they were amazing too. I guess I loved my life. The only thing that hasn't changed is that I have my dog. But he's becoming almost afraid of me you could say. But there's nothing to be afraid of because of the three things I tell myself everyday, right? The only issue is its becoming more and more obvious, I am a zombie.

No. Thunderbolts were villains that masqueraded as heroes then got lost in the charade. This is pure antihero

My headcannon is that this creature is summoned by a Ouija board at a sleepover in the sequel. Awesome work.
Robysto7 t1_j1xzet3 wrote
The young man was cornered, in his frenzied escape attempt he'd run into a dead end, the monster slowly crept closer. A thick ocher fog enveloped the world, overwhelming the man's senses. A pair of pale white eyes stared from the foggy abyss. The young man steeled himself, raising his fists for a last stand.
"Come on you filthy zombie! I can take you!" He screamed.
As quickly as the fog rolled in, it rolled out to reveal a tall, pale man with delicate facial features. A long black cape flowed around his body. His thin eyebrows raised in confusion.
"What did you just call me?" He asked in dulcet tones.
"A zombie! A corpse that roams the earth, sent straight from hell." The young man's fists shook with fear.
"My dear boy you're mistaken, and as a firm believer in an educated populace let me straighten out this confusion.
Reason the first why that label is grossly inaccurate is the mastery of human language. Words are the paint which I use to create art on the canvas of a person's ears. Can a zombie do this?" The man cleared his throat. He produced a small pitch pipe from his cape, blowing into it to find the note he needed.
"I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral, I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical, from Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical; I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse. I'm very good at integral and differential calculus; I know the scientific names of beings animalculous: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General..........." The man sang quickly without missing a beat or syllable, taking a pause, or being out of breath afterwards.
"Reason the second is the disgusting cuisine they dine on. Human brain matter and sinew ripped from the bone. Unseasoned, uncooked, teeming with pathogens and bacterium. My palate is more refined, my tastes exquisite. The finest part of a person isn't the meat, it's what flows through it.
Reason the third, this one should be obvious since you can see it with your own eyes. Look upon my cape. Hand sewn and tailored to my exacting specifications. The garments I wear underneath would make even the richest sultan green with envy. Those shambling monsters wear rags, the ones they were buried in.
Reason the fourth. Those abominations roam the earth since the afterlife has reached capacity. They have risen from the fall of death, I have never fallen. After cursing that foul god, death may no longer take me. Some call it a curse, I call it a gift. The gift of the Nosferatu. The only thing I have in common with them is that all it takes is one bite, and you become one of us."
The pale man silently floated to the young man's side. Fangs gleamed in the moonlight.
"So I'm going to be one of you?" The young man asked, his voice quivered in fear.
"Even better, you'll be part of my entourage. Stay still, this will only hurt for a moment."
