You think you're doing okay and then suddenly it's nighttime and you're alone and you're not really sure how to distract yourself anymore.

What if I told you death and rebirth are both lies born from the same desperate escape? That our minds, that which makes us us, are neither finite nor infinite... (1/2)
This image features a dark, ornate mirror with intricate carvings on its frame, set against a dimly lit, textured wall and resting on a wooden floor. Within the mirror’s reflective surface, a swirling, ghostly white and grey mist forms a vague, almost face-like shape, evoking a sense of mystery and otherworldliness. Above the mirror, the word "Voracity" is prominently displayed in bold, shadowed letters, suggesting a theme of intense desire or hunger. Below this, a passage of text overlays the image, reading: "He stared into the grey-white ceiling, lying in the recliner. His vision slowly lulled into blur with each passing tick of the apheresis machine beside him." The combination of the eerie mirror imagery and the haunting text creates a somber, introspective atmosphere, hinting at themes of illness, fading consciousness, and perhaps a struggle with inner demons or overwhelming forces. The overall mood is dark, contemplative, and slightly surreal, inviting viewers to ponder the story behind the scene.

Another “spooky” story.
It turns out writing horror is a lot harder than it sounds. 😞

Two films called Good Boy. One sees horror through a dog’s eyes; the other sees a dog in a human. What’s the true existential terror of our bond with dogs? 🐕🦺👁️

I... tried to name it?
But every sound felt grotesque
It demanded... Silence.

Wik's body, laying on the ground. They have yellow fir and light green hands and tail. They have X's on their eyes, signifying they have passed on.
🎃 Happy Halloween!
Endless You is a game that seamlessly combines charming cuteness with existential horror.
Our adorable main character, Wik, is able to revive from death, and use their previous body as a platform or weight to solve puzzles.

When the survival mechanism kicks in, people reach for relief; water, food, breath - but his patients forgot to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. In the last two years of Claudia's life, she was air starved. The rotted part was so certain of itself that it overrode the clang of hunger. It ignored her need for nutrients and breath. As this Dr. Verne creature, he was legally required to enforce fluids though she refused food. The law was backwards, demanding the worst death of an already dead woman. When it was finally over, Aton cracked her open and took her brain. It was his, by all rights. She'd meant for him to have it.
He'd sliced it up like a holiday ham. Death began in her parietal lobe but slowly strangled the hippocampus. Despite hippocampal damage, she retained some vestige of emotional resonance. He'd laid beside her at the end, relieved by Claudia's deep REM dreams. She was living on the seashore. Her hair was always salty, even when she was too fat and too lazy to wade into the sea. She loved her husband again. Her son wasn't a bodysnatcher anymore but her actual for-real son with hair that curled at his ears. There's a living spark that can't be extinguished.
In Pink Zombie Rose, the zombies only believe they are dead or undead - but believing is enough. 💀 #horror #existentialhorror #scifi #psifi #poliscifi

онн... NO THOSE ZOMBIES HAVE CHANGED HER INTO A-A CAT ! A vintage comic of zombies in an alley surrounding a woman - a blonde head with a cat body - jumping atop trash cans with lids clattering. Boom boom boom.
In Pink Zombie Rose, the contagion affects the brain’s perception of self so not all of the infected are zombies…some of them identify as vamps, lamps or even trees. There’s a few dark lords and one rainbow unicorn! #existentialhorror #magicalrealism

My Review of Proximate, by @cmddx.itch.io (who also made Waste Eater, another game I really like).
Well, I'm properly spooked.

New Episode: Andrew Najberg: Telepathy and the Death of Self

A surreal, dreamlike landscape shows a lone figure standing in a cavernous space with arms outstretched toward the sky. The ground is rocky and dim, while the sky—or ceiling—above them swirls in a vortex of deep teal and navy folds, as though carved from fluid fabric or frozen smoke. Piercing through this ceiling are massive, radiant orbs of white-blue light that resemble stars, but they appear to be holes—perfectly circular and glowing—from which light pours downward. These luminous breaches in the sky give the illusion that the figure is inside a container or dome, and the "stars" are actually punctures in its top. In the upper right corner, ethereal text reads: "What if they're not stars but holes poked into the top of the container." At the bottom center, bold typography declares: "STARS — so we can breathe." The entire image evokes a haunting, metaphysical contemplation of reality, enclosure, and cosmic fragility. Keywords: stars, surreal landscape, cosmic horror, glowing portals, container metaphor, lone figure, light vortex, existential wonder, sci-fi cave, otherworldly sky, philosophical caption, moody terrain Created using Midjourney and my Echoform™ prompt structure. The original render was saved as a JPEG in Lightroom to optimize file size. This is a complete, unedited image. Use is permitted for non-commercial creative projects.
STARS
What if the sky is just the lid, and the stars are how we’re not suffocating?
