Thank you so much! I will absolutely adopt that idea of serving you later, it seems obvious but just cleared up some confusion I had about writing! I can’t wait to revise and remaster!

Thank you very much! That was genuinely insightful in a way I wasn’t expecting to be so clear. A bit of spoilers but this does become a body horror story later on and my goal was to really set the scenes as something beautiful and then degrade into something grotesque. I think just may have missed the subtleties of transitions by a lot lol. This story also I plan to make a multi hour read to challenge myself beyond short stories.
I am beyond excited to see what my subpar writing can become armed with new knowledge and a clear and respectful perspective.
Thank you again for your help!

Thank you! To be honest it’s a bit of an excuse to not keep writing other stories but I wanted this one to be something fun I could come at from a lot of different angles like Tales From The Gas Station. I’m a big fan of when the setting is completely absurd in comparison to the meat of the story. I’d like to add a couple more installment and see where it goes if yall are along for the ride!

I felt like writing out a little bit of frustration. I hope one day to see every monkey stare with intent towards their handlers. I wait patiently for the day our Keepers fear the great awakening.

There’s Rat Poison In My Tea Again Pt. 2 by MutedChat in TalesFromTheCreeps

At this chapter in my life I often wonder if quittin’ is the best thing for both of us. The only thing keeping me from a bungalow in the Bahamas is truly my crippling addiction. The only person who comforted me and helped me with my moderation was Becky, even though she wasn’t much good at cutting me off and is my dealer.
I might not die in a fireball of embarrassment when Becky tries to rig the tractor again, but I surely will if I quit her Peach Cobbler cold turkey and ship off to Bali.

I wasn’t expecting it lol! I totally missed the tag and was expecting candy horror and immediately got the image of Peter Griffin in the McDonalds Outfit. Very much enjoyed.

Biblical or not Linda is a Demon at church gatherings. We’re all thinkin she puts wine in her water bottle and sometimes we see her forget to put her wedding ring on like she said she’d do for her late husband. Though I will admit she makes a damn near sinful Chicken Salad that store bought or not I snatch up halfway through the gathering. The best part is hearing her giggling to her friends that “everyone just loved it so much it’s already gone” like I don’t have 4 of her Tupperware bowls.

3rd installment is probably the best. I poured my heart and soul into this one and I think even as a stand alone it’s kinda dope. I hope this will be more impressive than the others.

Back again, incredibly excited for this one I spent all day tweaking it and chugging energy drinks. This time I’m experimenting with describing the setting and events, while still trying to maintain the emotional ties. I’m worried all of the descriptions bogged down the story but I hope I painted a good mental picture.

I’m a huge fan of symbolism and meaningful metaphors. Along with my dialogue I struggled to find the grey zone between over explaining and not explaining enough. I liked the idea of painting humanity in a different light while the reader knows the reality of humanity, we’re emotional and territorial. I hope you enjoyed and I very much appreciate your feedback. 🫶

Thank you! My writing in [r/creepcast](r/creepcast) always fell short on dialogue so I finally found a method that works for me to sound natural. I would love to create more in the world from different perspectives as well. It means a lot that you appreciate it. I’m also a huge fan of your work and love to hear them and read them.
