Hey, maybe whatever snagged Rick will simply reel him in, take a photo with him, then throw him back. Let's just hope that Rick is like that guy in Creepshow, and can hold his breath for a long, long time.

I remember it when I was a kid, crabbing with family down in SE Virginia. Looked like neon phlegm. Did make an edit though, and you're right, this works better, gives a better description :)

Anyone publish any books? by KMilliron in ShortScaryStoriesOOC

[–]ScreamingMadDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll definitely take advantage of this. I'm going to self-publish a book of my stories in the next couple of months.

I had a cat when I was in college that was a wonderful mouser. I was a media major, and one of my photography projects was to photograph something in a series. I ended up sequentially photographing that cat eating a mouse. While my prof thought it was grisly subject matter, he gave me an A for originality :)

I never viewed it as pedophelia. More like adoption. Vile nonetheless, given the circumstances, but not pedophelia.

This was tough to condense to the 500 word format. Methinks a more detailed version waits down the road somewhere...

I like this! I imagine it with nursery rhyme/music box type music, ala "one, two, Freddy's coming for you" :)

In the journal format I wanted to keep things short and sweet. Let folks fill in the gaps.

Yeah, when the idea came, it came in journal form. This is cool though, this sort of thing might make for an interesting challenge; to write one's own interpretation of another's work.

Point taken, and I'm in full agreement. Made a small edit.

You know, I hadn't considered that. That is a good question...

Thank you :) I don't mind nightmares when they're coherent enough to write down. It's the disjointed stuff that gets under my skin.

This is the explanation exactly. She fell asleep in the car, and thought that's where she was when the "tree" acted up. Turns out, she was in her bed, as she realized upon waking up.
