I was tagged by @cabezadeperro to talk about five things you might find in my stories (thank you so much for the tag!!!).
1. Playing around with time. I love temporal shenanigans and memory-related plot fuckery and 5+1 times and characters who can’t afford to look back and/or forward or it all might fall apart.
2. Yearning. I think even my established-relationship fics tend to be pretty heavy on the yearning, because I’m really drawn to the Big Yearning: the way an acquaintance with loss sharpens our attention to presence.
3. HANDS. So many fucking descriptions of hands. A lot of intimacy is in the hands for me, and I can’t stop writing about it.
4. Metaphors and similes. I do actually try to cut some of these during revision, because I can get very carried away with it, but I love trying to find figurative language to represent experiences that might otherwise feel hard to put into words (like physical pain) or that I write about so often that I need to find ways to keep them fresh and crunchy for myself (like kisses and moments of fear and pangs of longing).
5. Someone going to medical. I love these characters, and the way I express that love is by throwing them around a little bit so that their beloved can touch them with strong and gentle hands (see 2 and 3).
This was a really fun one, and open tags for anyone who would like to play! @ me with your five things, friends. <3<3<3

Goretober 2022
TW: blood mention, gore(?), violent coughing, it’s Halloween and I’m running out….
Fandom: ???
.

Silence…that was only the very thing I heard. The creaks echoed across the floorboard. Winds shuttering past as howls, delusional they were, roamed the wind. Coursing chills as I fainted forward. With one thing, and one thing on my very meek mind.
Huddling close, I shifted my coat closer. Eyes darting left and right like a prey about to be pounced. Hurrying my steps, dashing across quickly the old croaking home. Trees quickly slammed again…again…and again towards the window sill.
I turned left, or was it right? Hurry! Hurry you disposable dimwit! Hesitating as I stopped before a wooden door. It very presence looked before me, making me feel small…meek.
I shakily touched the bars that will show my very fate. Was it the right one? Yes, yes it was. I wasn’t so sure, nor can I actually see the very light of sureness.
Open it goes, the aching creak pitched with each decibels. Seconds ticked by, but felt as if my every move is counted by time.
My breath ran ragged, holding in and ushering out. A panting mad dog I sounded. A panting…mad…dog.
That’s what they all said, mind cursed to madness. Thrown to the slums and suffering in the rays of torment. I stopped my on slew of pessimistic thoughts. Thoughts they were, tinkering with one mind. I blinked, before heaving a relief.
A relief that will be gone. Gone in seconds I say. I limped, drenched in adrenaline and sweat. Hands shaking, with veins running deep…so deep that I can see bones. My frail fingers grasp the bottle. Except, I was too late.
Times stopped, stopped it was. No..no..no, no, NO! A timer went off, courses of laughter. Haunting me, sneering at me, and speaking horrible things. My tiny follicles of hair pricked up in alert, my breathing shuddered, and shaking.
“..no…No..NO! Please…!!”
A plea that is swept by the wind, never seen. Never heard. My breathing exhilarated. Hearts quicken in pace, vision blurry. I can see patches…but not clear. Red and black…to red and black…again..AGAIN.
Drips, blood drips. I stopped, trying to focus my breathing. Before coughing madly, the chants and chorus rings. Laughter grown led.
Drip.
Drip.
“Mad dog~! Mad DOG!”
The voices distorted, chanting the same thing. Something salty was tasted, but I was heaving. Crippling on the floor as I gasped for air. I blinked, tears streaming down. I hacked, more so than I thought. The pain convulsed within me, not letting me breath.
Drip.
Drip.
Small puddles of blood formed, i shakily looked down. Keeling over as my head meets the floor with a bang. I choked, foam forming in the mouth.
The wretched curse, chanting, and ringing growled louder and stronger with seconds passing. My nose, drooling with blood red. Streaming like the River of hell and the fire of death.
Red and black. Red and black. Red. Black. Red and finally on black. I hacked more, dripping blood from my nose. The pain in my chest grew bigger. Like thorns of roses pricking the lungs.
Blood, blood was running out. Running out from the entry of life.
Drip.
Drip.
Then everything was black. Pitched black. Dark. Dark with nothing. I felt nothing. The curse itself, will haunt me to every life I take. Dark…black….red.
“Mom! Some guy died in a abandoned mansion!” A small little boy, blonde eyes with pearly teeth stumble towards a woman. She bent down smiling, “darling, what nonsense did you hear it from?” He frowned, “the news! It’s everywhere!” The woman frowned.
“Is that so? We’ll go clean your room darling. I’ll meet you in a moment.” The boy smiled, dashed off before she can say anything. Laughing quietly, she put down her knife, washed her hand, and quickly turned on the television.
“Apparently today, a old man who escaped the psych was found dead 2 months later in the Mansion of St. Abbot 546 at the small county Harveston.” The woman continued, “no one knows for sure, but the man may have had a strange death. There was speculations of a stroke, heart attack, or cancer. Except none of the symptoms showed.”
The woman frowned, leaning down to sit on the couch. Quiet, with a father clock ticking each seconds.
“He was found, head down. His nose was continually bleeding. Having looked like a hobo. It was Alexander Gino Wester, a man diagnosed as schizophrenic or mentally brain damaged.”
Before the reporters continued. The woman shut off the television. Her face shaking, losing color as if to faint.
With each breath heaving out, the woman shakily stood up. Her hand grasping touching her lips in fear. “no…no..nononono—!”
Quickly rushing up to her son, where he laid dead. Nose ridden in blood, keeled over…head first.
“XAVIER!!!” The woman broken in hysterics as she ran to her passed son.
Eyes red, checking her son over and over. Wishing, in denial, and grief. “Xavier! Xavier, my baby! Please, honey! PLEASE!”
She cried, weeping over the boy who bleeder from the very entry of life. To this very day, the curse still looms over the family line.
