You Know, I Think The Comparison Of Spiders To Zombies Is Unfair. If Spiders Were Contagious And People
You know, I think the comparison of spiders to zombies is unfair. If spiders were contagious and people sized I would prefer the zombies.

Maybe because it’s a crime to eat it unless you happen to die from natural causes and she convinces someone to let her keep it.
when am i going to meet a woman who wants to eat my heart unironically
On my way to work, I pass a rock Quarry. Sometimes, you can hear them blasting dynamite and it shakes the ground. They have torn up around 1/4 of the mountain, a massive chunk of the cliff just gone. And I see it every morning.
This morning, as I drove by, I looked up at the very top at this one bald spot. There were still trees on the right and trees on the left, but in the middle, there was a bald spot with one tree still left. It had no branches or leaves, just a glorified log sticking straight up in the air.
I had never noticed it before, but it looked so desolate. I mentioned it to my coworker and he said he thought it wasn't a tree. It must be some kind of equipment like a crane or a back hoe because it wasn’t always there. Sometimes it was. Sometimes it wasn't.
It was the first time I noticed it, so I can't really say. It looks like a tree to me.
And I can feel an AU bubbling up from the sight of it. I think something horror related. Something very Junji Ito. I can almost feel the idea catching me.
Because there is a tree on a bald mountain top.
But maybe, tomorrow there won't be.
And maybe, yesterday there wasn't.
Another angst idea, this time for the Murderbot series. (MCD)
Something has seized physical control of MB and is causing it to rampage while MB is basically stuck in its own head.
The only thing it can do is to call out warnings or for help over the feed.
MB manages to connect to ART and beg it to stop it.
The only problem is that ART is so far away and there’s no systems around except MB that ART has any control over.
The only way for ART to stop MB is to fry its systems.
ART doesn’t want to do it but MB is distraught and begging it to stop it because it’s in the middle of massacring its humans and tells ART to stop it by any means necessary.
ART caves.
It reaches out into MB’s systems, sharing the space like they have done before, allowing ART to feel what MB does.
MB’s head feels like it’s underwater, and systems go dark as ART cuts them off from MB’s awareness.
The pain, vision, and sense of time all fade away.
It’s just MB and ART alone in the nothingness, plunging MB into an artificial calm.
It reminds MB of when it had been held when it was too injured to walk on its own.
ART says goodbye.
And pulls the trigger.
ART had already cut off MB’s ability to feel pain, so it didn’t feel the electricity shooting through its systems, frying organic and inorganic parts alike.
One moment Murderbot had been floating in the digital void, and the next there was no more Murderbot to feel anything at all.
On the planet below, MB’s body collapsed.
ART would never completely forgive itself.
