Grilde1chesse - THE ROT!!!!

2007

a herd of dairy cow isopods grazing the great green meadow 🌱

vehicles and violence: cars

cw: mentions of kidnapping, restraints, drugging

forced to drive at gunpoint. sweaty fingers slipping against the steering wheel, threatened from behind and told exactly where to go, somehow charged with both of their lives but not in control at all 

car chases and gunfights. returning fire through broken windows, bullets and metal and glass exploding, bleeding all over the place and just trying to stay on the road 

car chases that end upside down in a ditch. violent cacophonies going silent, pinned or trapped by crumpled metal, capsized and left dangling from a seatbelt

driver with shards of glass in their knuckles from slamming into the dash gauge

airbags bursting, everything white and hot and loud, friction burns from rough fabric and powder going everywhere

i n e r t i a

everything ringing and bleary as the shouts of enemies get closer and closer. an upended view of boots surrounding the car, getting pulled out of the wreckage or fleeing after the crash  

climbing out of broken windows and ducking behind crumpled metal, limping and bleeding as they drag themselves away

escaping a foot pursuit only to be hit by a car. caretaker watches whumpee narrowly avoid capture, cut across a roadway, and immediately get mowed down by more goons

thrown over the hood or bouncing off the grill and spinning head over tail. landing on pavement in an ugly heap of motionless limbs, some broken or deformed, red streaks of road rash all over

“can you hear me? hey, hey.”

“don’t move— try not to move your head, okay? just look at me. you’re okay.”

the windshield shattered inward from the hard force of whumpee colliding over the hood

the windshield shattered outward from a hard stop sending whumpee flying over the dash 

threatened with a gun just as a car pulls up and the door opens. “get in.”

locked in a car that gets way too hot, maybe restrained or threatened in some other way to keep them from escaping until eventually they get delirious and almost die

shoved into a trunk while restrained, drugged, or otherwise incapacitated. maybe the car ride is all muffled screams and desperate kicking, or maybe whumpee is still drowsy and out of it by the time they stop  

opening the trunk to see a glaring, very pissed off captive bound and gagged and stuffed inside

opening the trunk to see a drooling, disoriented captive all folded up like a pretzel and squinting blearily in the light

shoved into the backseat while restrained, drugged, or otherwise incapacitated. surrounded by enemies with nowhere to go, a canvas bag over their head or a gun at their side, helpless and trapped

the good ol’ tuck and roll out of a moving car. whumpee jumps and hits the ground hard, rolls, rolls, and rolls, takes the rough landing and risks getting run over just to escape 

caretaker white-knuckling the steering wheel and driving like hell while whumpee bleeds out in the backseat or all over their lap, frantically trying to keep them awake and talking 

caretaker white-knuckling the steering wheel driving as carefully as possible when every bump or turn makes whumpee gasp or groan

whumpee slumped over against the window, pale and sweaty, not really tracking the blur of colors zooming by

video essays on horror be like "there's something viscerally unsettling about being put in scary situation..."
