so youโre a low-level agent of a state apparatus responsible for a high-profile incident of unjustifiable violence. never fear: your boss is a capricious layabout whose defining characteristic, aside from disloyalty, is his annoyance at anything that distracts him from looking at a hole in his lawn
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Stephen Miller (@StephenM). Miller's post reads: "A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists." Below the post is a "Readers added context" box, which provides a correction to the claim. The context states: "Videos of the encounter shows that the gun was never drawn. The weapon remains in the victim's holster until one agent removes it. After the victim is disarmed, a second agent shoots him repeatedly." The context box includes several shortened links to videos of the full encounter and specific footage of the victim being disarmed prior to the shots being fired.
Stephen Miller was community noted on his post.

Another horrific tale for your spooky season ๐ฉธ
A sepia toned corn field background with the word โHARVESTโ overlaid in the middle
Welcome to spooky season, the perfect time to read some horror stories
open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
Tbf I have very low motivation to post on this app, like two people here will click over to read my stuff despite dozens less than a year ago seeming very hyped at my book idea
Now you could read the current draft for entirely free
But this app stays pretty dead for me outside of promos
What Happened in Nysa :
Short story split into two parts, slasher themed horror featuring an odd little cult. What starts as a road trip to hang out with friends takes a quick turn for the worse.
open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
Labor of Love:
A silly, strange, light hearted, short fantasy story about a human working in the shop of a folklore creature.
open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
Vestigial:
A horror story which gives new purpose to the appendix. Mildly irreverent.
open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
Bad Girl:
A teenager experiences an odd disconnection, another voice, after a strange birthday. Or does she?
open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
Alone; Together:
Warning: Graphic Body Horror. My most read story on substack to date. Our lonely narrator comes to terms with not being quite so alone.
open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
Observer Effect:
A Transcript of a mysterious radio broadcast, featuring call-ins from people who would have been better off shielding their eyes and ears.
open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
Where The Lost Go:
A short, calm, almost ghostly sort of tale set in a snowy forest. Bit of dread, nothing too crazy - open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...

Slay is a short piece about two women who exorcise vampires:

Someone Elseโs Problem is a short absurd tale about an encounter with a non-human creature:

Finding Tommy is a short horrific โmysteryโ :

Fidelity is about a woman who is transformed by betrayal
I thought it would be obnoxious to post here every time I wrote something, so consider this a bulk message
Wrote this today open.substack.com/pub/hylia/p/...
And I now have at least half a dozen other short standalone horror stories hosted here. (All free) anddd 4 full chapters of the โbookโ
I really suck at using more than one form of social media at a time
I simply *forget* that others exist when I find a different one
I read this the other day, a poem absolutely worth reading (As well as the other work heโs written!)
Iโm so tired of the heatwave. Too sleepy. Cabin fever type bs. Ugh.
I was super into House of Night by P.C and Kristin Cast as teen, I really liked the way vampires fit into that world. I donโt think I ever finished the series
Briar Ripley Page's grief horror is aching, awkward, ugly, horrific, and genuine (all meant in a complimentary way)!
If you want to see what I mean, pick up Lupus in Fabula, which is a truly excellent collection of horror and Weird fiction: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/lupu...
I think I maybe might put off editing chapter 3 for one more day and play video games instead
I put way too much time into that standalone piece and now Iโm very sleepy ๐ด
Wrote a new standalone horror piece inspired a bit by Medusa, and a lot by female rage ๐ช๐ฉธ
Enjoy my nonsense for free on substack because I ramble on too long for any other form of social media:
