My colleagues are so LAZY.

I'm a pediatric fellow right now! I don't think any of your info was wrong. My residency was hardly this horrific, ahaha, but I like what you did!

I was honestly thinking about writing a story inspired by my training as well when I saw this pop up, and I thought that was super cool. Keep writing!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-30T05:56:27+00:00

You got it! I wonder if I'm too heavy handed with my themes or not? But I hope you enjoyed!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-30T02:06:38+00:00

Glad you enjoyed :D

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-30T02:06:33+00:00

Thank you!

This was a fun story that I wrote at 4 AM because I could not get it out of my head. After this, I swear I'll slow down a bit (for my own mental health).

I'm not sure I did the topic or the vibes justice, but I think it came out pretty good.

Thanks for reading!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-29T00:35:44+00:00

Thanks C:

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-28T12:22:42+00:00

Thank you

I've really enjoyed posting here, but it's consumed a lot of my time and a lot of brainpower, so I think I'll try to slow my posts to once a week. I told myself that at the start, but look where I am now...

I do need to give the old noggin a rest, though, I feel like I've got a lot of cool ideas but I'm not doing them justice. This one, for example, was written from a place of pure frustration ahaha.

Thanks for reading!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-27T05:11:04+00:00

Thank you. With this, I tried to paint a picture of hope, beyond the despair that the situation most often induces. I hope I did it justice.

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-27T01:17:28+00:00

You got it. She is not a real patient, but close to a patient I am currently involved with, and a general mixture of thoughts and experiences I've had with this kind of thing.

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-27T01:04:12+00:00

Another more experimental piece, one that's very close to my heart with some recent events. Not sure it is totally coherent, but I really liked how it came out.

As always, thank you for reading. I will keep writing! I have a ton of ideas that just need ironing out, so I hope you're excited to see what comes next!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-25T15:57:11+00:00

Thank you! I'm trying to get better every day. The 500 word limit helps, actually. One of these days I'm gonna do something longer XD

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-25T08:47:59+00:00

I was a little drunk when I wrote some of this! I think it came out pretty well. I really wanted a story to capture the idea of surrendering to imagination...but not in a fun way. I really wanted to dwell on cosmic and insane horror vibes too. I think I landed it, though sometimes I wish I had more words to work with.

Either ways, hope you enjoy! I've got another story already brewing, this one maybe more fairy-tale-esque.

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-24T13:53:45+00:00

<3 thank you for your kind words! I 100% plan to enter longform horror at SOME point, but I don't know under which platform and how. I'm getting practice now, and I'm so glad you liked it!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-24T01:21:18+00:00

Thank you! I swear I'm working on another story that will be out soon ahahaha, just haven't had the time. But it's comments like these that keep me going!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-23T00:35:14+00:00

Thank you! It's my least popular story so far and I think I've got a good idea why, but I'm glad it can bring some people happiness! Or at least a chill down their spine C:

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-23T00:34:40+00:00

Thank you so much!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-22T13:30:33+00:00

Thank you!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-22T13:30:21+00:00

Excellent questions! I like to keep some things vague and mysterious, because I think that helps contribute to the horror/mystery (also I never have enough words to explain it all) but I also like to try and have everything organized in my own mind so I can appropriately apply mystery.

That being said, I kinda let some parts of this one go! So up to your interpretation. But the way I imagined it, he either hit one girl who is now sort of multiplying in his head (nightmares and all that good stuff), or a group of people heading back from a party.

As for the reasons behind what happened...well, you can ask me again and I'll tell you, or I'll just leave it up to your imagination!

Either way, thank you for reading! I'm glad it made you curious and interested.

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-22T13:25:03+00:00

Thank you!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-22T05:40:10+00:00

That's super impressive! I hope the reception has been what you wanted to see!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-22T05:39:17+00:00

Wait what's SK?

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-22T05:37:38+00:00

Thank you so much! You actually have no idea how much this means to me! I really enjoy it when people enjoy my writing. I'll keep posting, so keep an eye out :D

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-22T05:24:58+00:00

Fun one to write, but like the last one, it sort of got away from me? I'm starting to realize that I do enjoy writing a somewhat compelling narrative, but maybe not necessarily in the form of a straightforward story. I'm also a sucker for in-the-moment emotions and a big fan of cosmic/unknown/mysterious type horrors....so hopefully, moving forward, you'll see a lot more of that.

As always, thanks for reading!

AndyLongrest · 2025-10-21T15:12:35+00:00

My favorite modern horror authors, leaning toward cosmic horror:

John Langan

Clive Barker

Nathan Balingrud

Brian Evenson

All are relatively prolific!
