To clarify, you don't have to submit a story to perform a reading, nor do you have to do a reading if you write a story. You can only read stories that have been posted in this thread though, so somebody's gotta write something. Also, yes, multiple people can read the same story. You can only read one though.

He had been waiting for this package for a while. He had signed up for a special Halloween bag-o-crap site a few weeks back, and the package was supposed to get to his door yesterday. He had left a scathing review earlier, but didn't feel bad. They deserved it. If they hadn't wanted negative feedback, they shouldn't have promised him two day shipping and gotten it to him in three days. He opened the box, and there were three smaller boxes inside: a red one, a blue one, and a green one. He started with the red one, it contained: A Deck of Halloween-themed playing cards Cheap Halloween masks Pack of gum, pumpkin flavored Crap, as he suspected. He paid $9.99 for this?!? That's okay, there were two more boxes. He opened the Green Box. It had three DVDs. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo Monsters, Inc. Western Garbage. Maybe he could sell them on eBay, but he wasn't sure he'd get much for them. The third box was his last hope. A Devil Survivor Candle Jack Frost doll A broken DS. Quite the ha

On the night of All Hallow’s Eve, a couple were cuddling on the couch in their apartment watching scary movies. It would have been a typical movie night if not for the strange noises coming from the room next door. Their neighbor had always been fairly odd, often keeping to himself and rarely coming out. The few glimpses of him were generally when he received packages and occasionally they would hear him yelling in anger something about his wife at 3 in the morning. On this particular night though, it had been fairly calm outside of the occasional scream from their television until they heard a small thumping against the wall. *thump* *thump* *thump* A bit annoyed, they ignored it until it steadily became louder. *THUMP* *THUMP* *THUMP* They were about to yell at their neighbor to stop when the thumping suddenly stopped. Then, a loud scratching sound came from the other side, rattling the shelves. It ended with a scream of their neighbor and a crashing sound. Now concerned, they stepped out into the hallway to see if everything was all right. Strangely, their neighbor’s door was already open slightly ajar. The moment they stepped into his apartment, they were immediately repulsed by the strong odor lingering in the air. Trash bags lined the floor and the only lighting came flickering from inside the bedroom, creating a haunting light across the various figurines that lined the walls. Slowly they walked forward, wary of the various pillows that had cartoon women on them strewn around the living room. As they entered the bedroom, they saw the flickering light originated from the computer monitor, which showed a green-haired twin-tailed girl who looked disturbed. On the ground, their neighbor lied with wide blood-shocked eyes, his face in agony as his arms seemed to reach out toward the monitor. He was no longer breathing. Quickly the couple turned around to call for help, but then they saw it scrawled on the wall. “ANIME IS NOT REAL”. The couple was never seen again after that night.

I was walking home one night and found a DVD case in front of my apartment building. Nothing unusual, people throw trash in the trash all the time. Boy, had this case been worked over, though. It looked like it had passed through at least two raccoon intestinal tracks. I went to pick it up and throw it away and noticed that something caught the light of the street lamp inside. I opened the case and inside was a perfectly pristine DVD. Someone had written in sharpie the letter 'X' and drawn some sort of lumpy potato person with wings. I took the DVD and went inside, throwing the case away in the large garbage bin before going inside. Out of curiosity, I put the DVD in and a cartoon started to play. "This doesn't seem so bad," I thought to myself, as blonde hair and sakura petals floated across the screen...

anyone looking to do a cool voice recording i've found the iphone (maybe android??) microphone to be much higher fidelity than most gaming headsets and etc so if you wanna record something then do it there and then upload it to tindeck or vocaroo or even soundcloud, they're all fine

I broke the rules and made it 800 words instead of 700 but I liked writing this so I'm putting it up anyways. Probably could trim it down to 700 or less, but I like what I've gotten so far. I had to refrain from writing more, actually. I also suppose the story may not work for people who have not lived in Korean apartments. Since this setting would not have worked in the Canadian apartment I lived in. Or hotels in the US. But whatever. quote:Most kids grow up hating the dark. There’s this primal fear of the unknown, of what may be lying in wait for you behind the shadows.

Endorph posted:The last woman on earth posted alone on SA. More tragedy then horror in my humble opinion. That said, when I first read the opening sentences of Knock I had chills down my spine and thought it was really loving terrifying. But the story around it really changes it and I'm not to fond of it.

Oh, I found a webtoon on Naver that sorta shows the environment I'm talking about and deals with a similar subject, though it goes off in a different direction. http://www.webtoons.com/en/thriller/the-red-book/ep-14/viewer?title_no=467&episode_no=15

He wonders why he signed up to participate in the secret Santa. He doesn't know these people, not really. Not beyond a vague sense of tastes and preferences: truncated opinions on mangas about handsome single fathers, or a statement of allegiance or opposition for the moe movement. There was some trepidation in supplying a mailing address. He doesn't want to see a pale and bespectacled ghoul clutching a full size body pillow lurking in the office car park. Still, it could be funny, and both sending and receiving parcels holds an anachronistic satisfaction for him. When the time comes, he carefully reads what his secret santee wants. He duly buys $20 worth of local candy, a craft beer sampler, and a microfibre cloth ideal for wiping pizza grease off ABS plastic. Wrapping has never been his specialty, but he makes a good effort to package the gift presentably. He sends it off, now wondering what he'll get in return. A few weeks later, the receptionist at work sends him an email: "Parcel for you". He hurries downstairs. A group of clients and senior colleagues are clustered around the receptionist's desk. They're all speaking at once, murmurs of incredulity morphing into scornful laughter. He pushes into the crowd, which parts to reveal the object of its attention: a half opened parcel. The wrapping paper depicts hydrocephalitic preteens arranged in demeaning poses. The blood rushes to his face and he starts to speak, to profess ignorance of the package. Then, through a sliver of the torn wrapping, he sees the top half of a near-nude figurine, one of its huge blue eyes staring out through the plastic window. He feels a jolt of something...recognition? Like when his eyes met Sasha's in the cafeteria. No. Not like that. It's just a hosed up doll, he thinks. "Is this for you?" The receptionist asks. "No idea what that is. It's not for me." "Right, OK." She picks up the package to hide it under the desk. As she does so, a small voice emanates from the box. "Onii chan~~~?" His muscles tense in revulsion, like when he almost stepped in the yellow stool of a diseased labrador that morning. "Seems like it recognises you," one of the senior partners jokes. The visiting clients are from Mitsubishi, hardened salarymen with stomach ulcers and loveless marriages. They grunt in disgust and make to leave the office, but the director manages to usher them towards the meeting rooms, away from this embarrassing spectacle. His other colleagues disperse. As they head down the hall, he hears snippets of conversation: "Didn't know you were into that sort of thing." "Explains a lot." "To think that I was going to ask him out." He's left alone in the reception. Obviously no one believed that the package wasn't his. The receptionist pushes it towards him. "Well, I don't want it here," she says. "It's not-" "Onii-chan?" the voice from within squeals. He knows someone from ADTRW sent it. It looks expensive. Maybe he can return it so they can get a refund. Why oh why did they send him this? He specifically said "nothing embarrassing". He doesn't even know what anime or manga the figure is from. All moe stuff looks the same to him. "I'll find out where it's come from. But it's not mine!" "OK love." Later, at home, he unwraps the doll. The smell of new plastic and his own shame-sweat mingle in the cramped confines of his bedroom. He breaks open the plastic cage and unbinds the cable ties holding the figure - no, Kumiko-chan - upright. He tsks as he inspects it. An over-large head with huge eyes to match perched on a slender body. Improbable articulated pigtails swing as he turns it about. He is fired for vague performance-related reasons. He knows that it’s the fault of the doll. Who could trust a project manager who buys creepy little dolls? Sasha stops coming round after she sees the wrapping paper in the bin. This is a good thing, though. He has savings and his outgoings are minimal. Other people spend money on eating out, drinking, going to the discotheque, or viewing the latest Western blockbuster in the cinema. He no longer needs such pale distractions. The blinds are closed. He kneels before a ziggurat of polypropylene display boxes filled with figurines: therianthropes with both human and animal ears; chubby, colourful robots; moe morsels. Kumiko-chan perches atop this edifice at head height. She surveys her queendom and smiles. A triumphant sound emanates from the perforations hidden under her custom-made silk blouse: “Uguu~.”
