The Void Says Hello

inside me there are two lungs. and one liver. one stomach. a few meters of intestine. there's a lot inside me actually

they're mine

Random old finnish folklore I recall reading: The reason you have to close someone's eyes after they die, or cover their eyes with a cloth if you can't, is because the spirit of the newly passed is still in the body and even though it can't move the eyes anymore, it can still see. You must avoid making eye contact with the dead body, because the soul of the newly dead is scared to go alone, and is looking for someone to come with them. If you lock eyes with the corpse, you will be the next to die.

...So is the second corpse still hazardous, then, or are they fine since they have the first one for company?

I must confess I don't really know about the more exact details of the undead buddy system.

Just picturing this thing tricking a car into stopping long enough for its pack to ambush the prey

@elodieunderglass so many fine legs!

now this is perfect halloween content

No, thank you. I did not need to hear the souls of a universe calling to me from the afterlife.

I did.

You live in a very haunted house, but it’s not that bad. The voices in the basement remind you of your laundry and tell you to check the boiler, the rat size talking spider keeps the pests away and is a pretty good therapist, and the victorian ghost children are great friends with your kids.

One of my favorite episodes of BBC Ghosts was when the black death victims trapped in their basement mass-grave for 700 years helped the homeowners fix the furnace, because they’d been watching HVAC repair guys work on it for the last century.

(Note: they’re trapped in the HOUSE. They stay in the plague pit because they prefer it)
