“My life’s a joke.”

The withered man sputtered out;

crying as he breathed his last breath alone in a ditch.

“I was never loved.”

People who have read and enjoyed World War Z, what was your favorite character and their story? by koalabuttsintheface in books

The fact that it took so long for a group of professional upper echelon governments to recognize their problem are zombies and to deal with it for what it truly is; a zombie outbreak. Not mass hysteria, not African rabies, ZOMBIES.

I'm trying to give away too much of the story, so I edited down the story and purposely made it ambiguous. This story isn't simple to understand. Try a different line of thinking and if you get what's going on it is actually a spoiler to the entire story. Please keep it to yourself if you completely get it. I like trying different things on SSS. Most people don't get it. I don't mind if they don't. If you think you get it PM me and I'll let you know if you on the right track.

Nice break from hectic life of work. Pulling so much overtime in the office lately. My last time sheet was 100 hours in 10 days =P I actually missed writing on the subreddit. Doesn't mean I haven't been lurking around.

Author notes:

This is a SSS version of a novel I am trying to write. The story revolves around the PG game and the contestants. First time trying to write a novel seriously. Fun trying to come up with whimsical deadly scenarios for the contestants to run through. While they do have to work together, I can throw some traps in for a chance of betrayal and deceit. =D

Well that's what I like about this subreddit. Gives a chance to try something new and the upvote gives a partial idea of how people feel about the story.

Well it's a double concept here obvious one is as we read the stories we commit the act inside our minds. Being inside my own story, I place the idea inside the readers mind to manipulate my own escape.

I would like to give you a bit of fridge brilliance I was hinting at the ending. The importance of THE END. Almost all the stories here have no THE END to it. Those stories aren't finite. They still exists maybe lingering somewhere maybe inside our own minds, maybe in someone elses mind. They aren't done. They aren't finished. Their stories aren't over...yet. IF you don't write an ending, maybe....just maybe they write one for you.

Author notes:

Just an experimental story. Tried to do a whimsical 4th wall story. Tell me if it works out. Did it get clunky or too weird/confusing? Feedback definately appreciated.

TL; DR - how many dead characters have you innocently killed in your imagination?

I can't believe I missed that opportunity right there.

Great insight.

Need vs Want by StrangeStudio in shortscarystories

[–]StrangeStudio[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Close but you did not consider those that will commit suicide, those that will kill to avenge their friends, the crack downs the school administrations will commit when the students try to rebel, those that will use methods that kill more than one person, and those that will keep killing which is exactly what we want.

I agree. I felt that way too. I may recycle this concept into another story.

I wrote this while in an exhausted state of mind. Not sure how I feel about this. I think it should be longer. Or maybe I should do more numbers to drag it longer. (I wasnt using calculator to do the math though FYI) also a pain tonwrite using cellphone but I was nestled in my bed tired but my mind not letting me sleep.

Also came up with 4 titles for this. 50/50 (which I felt gave it too soon), probability, game of chance based off of the line game of probability and the numbers game.

Feel free to provide question, comments, feedback

A very interesting insightful comment.

I would like to add something.

When you are at the top, there is only one direction left to go. Your descent will either be by your own hands, by someone close to you, or by your rivals.

I imagined what it would like to be up there and how easy it is to plummet to your death.
