Skyscrapers, or Sept Lignes
northie commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Skyscrapers, or Sept Lignes
Hmm ... I think I might give this a go sometime, though, if you found it somewhat tricky, what hope do I have? I liked the first one very much - it made me think and smile. The second one - I wish there was a neutral form of 'brotherhood', but still, the sentiments are absolutely spot-on. Well done, dear friend. -

Both interesting, the creative one, especially. -
Thank you! And what is behind the door? Well, you'll be the first to discover.

Didn't you? Oh ... The demon definitely isn't enjoying his time backstage, but what's behind the door may change everything. Or not ...

Tommie stood still, like most of the damned in G2 , and listened intently as the new, commanding voice echoed around. He wasn't scared, more intrigued, or puzzled. What was coming next? “You know what? I thought that would get everybody's attention.” Tommie joined the rest of the crowd in trying to see who was speaking to them. There wasn't a demon in sight. A constant low level of fractious murmurings, with the odd louder exclamation, showed how well the news was going down. Too much

There's No Place Like Home for the Hallowdays
northie commented on Cynus's story chapter in There's No Place Like Home for the Hallowdays
Wonderful. Such an unconventional take. I particularly liked the opening exchange - trying to work out what the female zombie was saying. -
@Headstall Thanks, Gary. I appreciate your praise very much. Putting the filthy clothing on was one of the things that got to me as well.
-
Thanks, Def! Though I hope the nightmares leave you alone ...
-
Thanks! I'm pleased it worked. Thanks for reading.
-
Thanks, dugh. Leaving you frightened is good, in this context at least.
-
I would describe it as very vivid rather than graphic. The reader's imagination was called into play as well. I'm glad it got to you.

Where would a Halloween story be if it wasn't creepy? Thanks for reading.
-
Sounds as though I've done my job ... Isn't reading it in daylight cheating?
-
Goosebumps? Result! Thanks for reading.
-
Am I allowed to say, I'm glad I made you feel unwell? It's good you found it suitably scary.
-
Well, a doppleganger can be a random someone who fate has decreed looks like you. In this case, a psychotic murderer. Thanks for reading, Tim.

Gruesome is definitely the word.
-
Wonderful, sad, scary. Human beings are complex, very rarely are things black and white. as if the thick darkness was slithering ... loved that phrase - made my skin crawl. Very well done.

Right … he wanted to get this over and done with. Piece of piss. Eddie Olsen strode up the drive to the deserted house. It was already dark, and the sky was overcast – no moon to be seen. Why all the excitement about Halloween? Just another effing excuse to sell copious amounts of tat to every idiot going. Well, he'd be in and out of there in ten. Better take a selfie as proof, so even sodding Bri would shut the fuck up. He was well armed with his phone and a sturdy torch – both full

His profile says he last visited on October 3rd this year, so he's still around.

In a semi-detached kinda way ....

Confidence isn't Geoff's strong point at all. Whether Tony will be able to improve Geoff's position is open to question. Watch this space ... Thanks for your comment.

Some people see something like this as an opportunity to break free from the shackles of the 9-5 job. I'm not sure Geoff is that sort of person. We'll see. Thanks for continuing to read and comment.

Yes, they both seem to be thinking of the other as boyfriend now. Geoff is trying hard to shed however many years of shyness and inhibition he's had to endure.
