RIP Dolly Parton.💔 This one hurts. Not just because, even as a metalhead, I loved her songs, but because of the charity work, literacy programmes, and everything else she did as a humanitarian in a world that seems so cruel right now. There aren't enough words.💔💔💔 [ Image: Wikipedia ]

This looks like fun, although I'm a bit late to the party, sorry! Hi, I'm That Burnt Writer; I mostly write sci-fi and/or bodyshock horror. Traditions? I love when there's everyday situations subverted by an extended creeping sense of unease/dread just before the reveal... #HorrorWritersChat

I just saw this album, which I adore, come up on YT Music, and thought "Jesus, 20th anniversary?"... then realised that next year is the THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY.👀 Saw them on this tour and could've sworn it was less than a decade ago. Incredible band. Oh, and I'm not *that* old, I swear!😳😬😂

"Help," he grunted, leaning on the door frame. "I'm #wound -ed. Call an ambulan—" "Come in," I said, smiling faintly as he entered, and closed it behind him. "Please," he begged. "It's agony." "Hush now," I murmured, caressing the rusted blade behind my back. "It won't hurt much longer." #vss365

I was never scared of my #shadow, it could never be blacker than my soul. Yesterday, I found it in the kitchen, selecting a carving knife. "I don't want to be free," it hissed, "just to kill you." Last night, I slept in a fully lit room. Not through fear, but to make it suffer. #vss365

I sit as the wind howls, and the rain beats a violent tattoo against the window. Soon, I must leave this warmth, but I've had a sudden attack of whimsy and am wondering... is there any possibility I could be transported to my car on the back of a rubber ducky? Alas, not. Sad face. #SillyPoem #rain
