Your studio sounds dreamy, and I am totally jealous. Much more roomy and full of character than my studio, which remains equally unhaunted (though it also feels like it ought to be haunted).

Eep! Did your mom explain why she knew her name was Meg, though?

Yikes! That gave me some serious heebie-jeebies!

Eep!

That is heartbreaking, for everyone involved.

Holy crap. Not only is that terrifying, it’s also completely infuriating. This man needs to be tossed into a volcano immediately.

Your inability to understand how not to be an insufferable, pretentious prig is far more frustrating and predictable, I guarantee you, my friend.

Sure, yeah. I bet you do the same thing in Harry Potter fanfic and D&D forums and every Reddit thread about aliens. People who have fun in ways that you deem “unscientific” are definitely the real problem here.

We’re all very impressed with how high your horse is, btw. Amazing. So very, very high.

I submitted this one far too late last year, so I guess I may as well send it in again? Here goes:

You seem like a lot of fun. Are you this much of a snob about everything other people enjoy that you think is a frivolous waste of time and energy in the face of war, genocide, disease, etc., or do you reserve your scorn for just this?

But what was it not?!?!

Well, now, that’s just terrifying...

NOPE. DO NOT LIKE THAT. NOPE.

Same.

I hope you get out of the greys so you can tell that story.

Also, I hope you write an amazing series about a kid who somehow befriends an annoying brat of a demon who tells him important information, and when he grows up they solve crimes together and stuff, because I would absolutely read/watch that.

Holy crap.

The real people stories are always the scariest. Always.

Aaahhh! That’s terrifying!

Also, your story reminds me of “The Beast with Five Fingers” by W.F. Harvey, a classic horror story that legit gave me nightmares after it had percolated in my subconscious for a bit. Evil disembodied hands are horrifying!

Not gonna lie, though, I’ve been re-reading all the old scary story posts in preparation for this day, and the comments in 2012 about the sheer horror of the possibility of a Mitt Romney presidency seem really damn quaint and adorable now...

As I sort of touched on last year, in my story that I posted far too late for it to possibly be a contender, my only “supernatural” experiences are that I sometimes get a bad feeling and/or hear some really weird shit. Never anything more than that. Well, never anything more than that, with one…

I’m so excited!
I’m so excited!
I’m so... scared!
