I've spent basically the whole of yesterday on
TVTropes (instead of writing my report; yes, I know that's stupid), reading about creepy stuff people come up with in fiction, movies and, specifically, music - because nothing wakes you up better than a creepy chord at 5 AM, RIGHT?
... Back to the subject. Apart from having been recalled some of my greatest Nightmare Fuels of all times (including
The Man Who Wasn't There and, successively, a certain story that isn't there, no matter how hard I look for it) and finding a bunch of new ones... Not really happy about that part, trust me... I recalled I have a bunch of original story ideas which most likely won't see the light of the day. Ever. Why? Because I'm too scared of them to take them down on paper.
This is the part when you laugh and tell me I'm silly *takes out the watch, counts down 15 minutes*... OK, time's over. You see, Ex Machina's Being is not the scariest thing I can pull off. Serpent Charmer and Jezebel are not even close to the borderline... Of which you might get the gist once I'm done with The Curious Case of Kolya Kirrylowich and The Peacock Eyes (though they are both more on the gory side of things).But I still can do worse - because I do know a certain story about
a certain someone...
Or rather: 'Could do worse but never will'.
Which makes me wonder... Am I the unique case of writing paranoia, or are there any other such tormented creators out there..?
