Recently, I have been writing, I assure you. I have however been busy with school and most of the writing I have been doing is working on a novel. The odd teaser snippet might be added to the site if the fans so wish it, so if you want to see what I've been working on recently just tell me in the comments.

However, not only have I been busy with real life, I have been wasting my time with videos from the YouTube channel Daywalt Fear Factory. They're a really good way to kill time if you're bored and you want a start. They aren't really blood 'n' guts 'n' gore all the time, but some can be a little bit bloody. Mostly it's a mix of cerebral horror and jump-out-get-you-oh-no! Which are my favorite ways to get scared. Hope you enjoy these! Might I suggest saving a few for Halloween?

Their YouTube channel is here.

“What is it sweetie?” Claire asked. She had never seen her daughter have such a blank look before.

“What's a voice box?” Tessie responded , voice quiet.

I hate the stuff on soup and gravy. It's disgusting, looks ugly, feels awful and keeps you away from all the niceness underneath. I hate it. It's just downright nasty. Most people are confused when I look them over and say I hate it. It keeps you away from the liquid. What's not to hate?

I plan on doing something about it, though. Tonight. I'll stir it away, like Mom always advised me to. Well, not always. She told me not to.

I stir quickly, ripping the skin apart. The liquid comes up and so does a lot of other things. I eat the soup, the liquid. It tastes sweet, just a bit metallic. Undersalted, yes, but another thing I dislike is oversalted foods. It's tasty. It drips down my chin.

I feel dizzy as I look down at my arm, the skin completely removed, and smile. I hate skin.

I'm glad that I could make it go away.

My dad served during World War 2. He was in the air force. He knew some guys, and they were friends. When it got closer and closer to the end, him and some of the men he was friends with had to go over Berlin and drop a few bombs. Well, the Luftwaffe was having none of that, so they shot at them. One of the planes, one with one of Dad's friends, went down to never be seen again. They got back to the base and Dad decided he was the one to give the news to his wife. His wife was pregnant at the time, and Dad still gets choked up whenever he talks about her.
