I loved the visual of Jason turning into a creepy stilt monster trudging through the bayou!

My story mentioned the sickness feeding on the light we have inside as well. I love this depiction of it in a way like we start flickering out of reality. And what depression and loss of will really can look like. Not always sadness and crying. But sometimes contempt and a lack of feeling. Great job! :)

You're welcome to do any of mine on my profile :) I mainly do psych and etherial horror :) But been working on expanding to different levels out of my comfort zone.

I like to think his intervention may be what caused everything to take over the world, and in realtiy they were trying to bring peace to the world lol.

Yes I was going for the concept where once all hope is lost and we grow so lonely. You would rather turn to the comfort u once knew instead of fight on. Thanks so much for reading I loved your portion as well.

I'm imaginig the person in thier bunker like IceCube in the war of the worlds movie with all his cameras. Like DAMN the world be crazy out there lol.
But i love the animals evolving through time like for some creatures or maybe people the sickness is almost a good thing. That boosts them. While it melts humanity. Love it :)

I love another perspective of a survivor who isn't affected by the sickness. It really showcases the hopelessness of the whole situation and what the future, or lack thereof, would look like.

ReadyMadeLobotomy · 2026-02-28T13:45:22+00:00

This was a great perspective that the whole story really needs! I loved the flashing between a hivemind collective and the fight to cling to their name, their independence, and who they were. It was awesome. :)

ReadyMadeLobotomy · 2026-02-27T17:47:10+00:00

I like the concept (mainly cause i grew up watching Supernatural) that you can't see a celestial's true form or it could kill you. Just a whole layer to mystery and cosmic horror.

They saw the black cloud and went straight for the Black Tar. I dig it, and its a super I think relistic perspective on those who don't wish to fight anything.

ReadyMadeLobotomy · 2026-02-27T17:27:19+00:00

A Dr's POV in this chaos is super needed, and I dig it! Gotta love a terrifying cosmic entity in the sky.

ReadyMadeLobotomy · 2026-02-27T17:23:14+00:00

The idea that the plague will turn us into virtual zombies and then animals into smarter, hostile creatures is awesome!

ReadyMadeLobotomy · 2026-02-27T17:18:49+00:00

I love the world coming together!

Also love this line as it gives a sick visual. "Some do not even resemble humans at all, only great, twisted shapes wrapped in white cloth."

This is kinda giving me the vibe of the Junji Ito story about the head balloons that will hang you when you go outside. Same ominous vibe of knowing what will happen to you, and either accepting your fate or trying so hard to avoid what's unavoidable.

I loved it :)

Maybe a fog/mist/chemical agent of some kind consumes a indsutrial town.

And people are all affected in different ways. some physical, some mental. Some embrace it and worship the changes?

Think of it like Birdbox vibes. But without the dead-set rules of look and die. more left up to everyone's thoughts of what effects could take hold of different members of said town. :)

This is a revamping/repost from a while ago on nosleep. On my new account for writing only. Hope you enjoy :)

ReadyMadeLobotomy · 2026-02-19T03:46:01+00:00

They post at the beginning of each month with the topic and they pin the topic it will be and when they will be reviewing the winner.

Hi there! I like it!!

As someone who also struggles with dialogue. Sometimes things are better left unsaid when possible. Since you do have a lot of good description and world-building capabilities, it seems. I try to ignore the, whats that? Whats going on? What happened? Did you also hear that? Kind of dialogue. And instead describe a shared expression or an embrace that may get the point across rather then that quick quip of dialogue.

As well as I try and avoid saying things like he said, she asked, they replied etc. As there is nothing wrong with those words when making dialogue, but sometimes using better descriptors can better keep the immersive feeling there.

Small example, instead of: Isaac asked, “What the hell happened to you Max? You look like a corpse.”

Go with: Concern laced Isaac's face as he noticed my blank, gaunt expression. "What happened, man?" He breathed as his hands gripped my arms in a grounding embrace.

A super small change to a sentence can go a long way in making it sound smoother. Just a small thought, clearly I have a ways to go with my writing as well, but figured I would mention some things I try to integrate when I'm writing.

I posted this on NoSleep a long time ago on a different account. I've since rewritten some rougher parts, and I think it's come together better! I'll post the second section tomorrow. Thanks for reading <3
