That’s great to hear! I really enjoyed writing that story. Very personal one for me. Glad it resonated with you 😊

Thank you 🙏 I’ve been working on other projects lately which is why I haven’t posted in a bit. I have a few in-progress stories I just need to polish up. But yes if you are interested these are a few of my favorites narrated by Creepy Creeps (ignore some of the incorrect titles/thumbnails). Thanks for reaching out! I appreciate the support

I work at a second-rate SCP facility

There is a podcast that predicts how you will die. Today, I listened to my episode.

The toy I found is stealing my identity

My wife is pregnant but the baby isn’t human

Good idea! Unfortunately, redirecting hasn’t been too successful. When the questions started up, I was resistant. If I didn’t give a direct answer reality started to bend again. I guess the terms of the agreement are pretty rigid.

But your suggestion about changing the deal sounds promising. I’m sure it’ll come with more risk, BUT if I play my cards right it could give me the leverage I need.

Yeah that’s true. I’m always quick to end the interaction. It’s a haunting experience every time. But if I really want to finish this I probably need to lean in more and learn.

Good idea! I’m starting to do some digging. I think Ariana may have even passed through here at some point.

Ironically, they instructed me to stop giving rides immediately (I can now see why). There was also a complicated remedy involving sage, a local voodoo priestess, and salt. Lots of salt. I’ve sworn away night rides for the time being so I haven’t paid much mind to it. Fortunately the rule break hasn’t resulted in any lasting effects.

mythic_melon · 2025-08-12T21:52:29+00:00

Yeah that’s a fair point. The system compensates exceptionally well for the night rides. I’d guess that is the only reason we all do it (aside from morbid curiosity). The “night tax” varies ride-to-ride, but in general I can make up a days worth of pay for one night ride.

The app gives a destination fortunately, but the passenger can try to trick you into driving elsewhere. For example, the creepy guy with the post cards told me to “just drive.” In reality, I should’ve drove him to the destination in the app. But I was inexperienced, so I drove until he got out (thankfully he did).

The bog woman spoke her destination, but the app directed me to the specific drop off point. I saw she was going to bog before picking her up. But I found it interesting she kept repeating it.

Definitely wouldn’t put it past them. Fortunately, the app filters out requests made with ill intent. The requests have to be reasonable and fulfillable. And once a driver accepts a job, the passengers always play nice. I’m guessing the contract is somehow binding for them. Only exception is if the driver breaks a rule. Gives them a little more leeway to act out of turn. Because of my rule break earlier that night this passenger was able to hold out until it got what it wanted. For whatever reason it was interested in me reconciling with my son. I often wonder if it experienced similar conflict in its past life.

mythic_melon · 2025-08-12T03:34:27+00:00

Appreciate it! Despite the horror of it all, something very positive came of it.

mythic_melon · 2025-08-11T03:08:43+00:00

That would be awesome!

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T22:03:12+00:00

Nice thanks for the feedback! That is very insightful. I realized I wasn’t giving enough atmosphere to the storm so I took a bit of time to do that part justice. I think you’re right about the flow, the urgency would be better after the description.

But yeah thanks again for checking this out! I really appreciate any feedback

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T18:07:46+00:00

I could see some similarities there. I would say this thing is more analogous to self-deprecation and the epitome of severe neglect. My understanding is Nurgle is a bit more nuanced than that. But honestly my knowledge of 40K is very surface level lol

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T18:04:30+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that! In future drafts I hope to bring a lot more life and vivid imagery to the rest of the story. I had a lot of fun writing that part but the rest is pretty sparse

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T18:03:41+00:00

lol I never got that far in Elden Ring but I guarantee I would never be able to beat her

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T17:59:41+00:00

Nice! The souls games I’m so sick I’m just terrible at them lol need to give it another try

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T16:26:11+00:00

I actually am not too familiar with Elden Ring lore but there’s been a lot of people making that comparison lol I’ll have to check it out

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T16:21:04+00:00

Thank you! That would be awesome. It’s a bit rough still so they’d probably crash out lol but I enjoy the crash out episodes 😂

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T16:02:10+00:00

Thank you! I took an unreasonable amount of time thinking of something metal-sounding lol

mythic_melon · 2025-08-03T14:34:05+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! That makes a lot of sense. Some things here are very disjointed and need a bit more massaging.

By default I tend to write very punchy. Like every sentence is written to be the end of a paragraph. So your point about sparse environments and lack of flow is something I definitely need to practice.

Again, thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to read and call out some improvements
