There's only a handful of you, and you're acting like obsessed lunatics.

I honestly wouldn't want to ever be washed up on the shore unconscious on an island run by you lot.

It all started pleasantly enough.

For a second there, I thought you were referencing this thread.

Then again....


Oh, and:

There's something outside the window
There's something inside the window.

It all started pleasantly enough.  Yesterday, the shadow grew again.  Strange shapes blackened the sky.  The walls keep changing color.  There's something outside the window.  Her eyes widened in anticipation.  It was an insular community.  We thought they were dead.  But they were dead, yesterday...  There wasn't time to scream. 

The sun didn't rise today.  No one sees color here.  They don't remember the difference.  It is inside the house.  That night, I wasn't alone.  A voice said, "You die". There shouldn't be visitors tonight.  Didn't I lock this door?

"I'm not usually like this.  I can't feel my legs." 

She said, "I got this."  She had too many teeth.  Time slowed to a stop.  "This won't hurt a bit."  The anesthesia didn't quite work.  The scab came off again.  It had been an eye.  Below, rows of sharp teeth.  I think those are teeth.  "It's curable, for a price."

"I can't find the baby.  I have these horrible urges." 

"They know, they just don't care."

"This isn't my real face." 

But there was no face...

Awesome! The quick sentences and their disjointed but still coherent nature evoke panic almost perfectly.

I think I can make some improvements to the dialogue section.

That is a fantastic compilation!

Ok, I think this helps.

I approve of this story!

Ugh.  Need to change tenses in the first paragraph.  BRB.

I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well.
