Hello!! I was just wondering, when are you gonna post the next installment to Itās Just Me, You And These Fucking Ghosts? Donāt mean to rush or anything! Sorry if it seems that way!
Youāre absolutely fine! No need to apologize. Iām actually in the middle to writing it right now. Itās quite the monster.Ā
But as a gift from me to you, hereās a little taste of whatās to come:
Every inch of his body was frozen. It was like the fear twisting his insides had somehow managed to take control of his very being. All he could do was listen to the thundering pounding of his heart and rapid breathing. His eyes were blown wide, but he wanted nothing more than to shut them. To look away. To pretend that if he just closed his eyes, every scary thing would just go away. But his gaze was glued to the screen, the terror not allowing him a momentās reprieve.Ā
How had he managed to get roped into this? What had possessed him to agree to something this horrifying? He couldnāt remember. All rational thoughts had ceased, leaving him with nothing but the truth of how truly vulnerable he was. At any moment, something could-
āAh!ā Lance let out a yelp, feeling a hand clamp down on his shoulder. He instinctively jerked away, his fight or flight suddenly kicking into overdrive.Ā
āDude, chill.ā Pidge said, rolling their eyes as they leaned over the back of the couch. āItās just me.āĀ
āFucking hellā¦ā Lance said as he let out a long breath, trying unsuccessfully to get his heart rate back to an acceptable speed. āDonāt do that to me!āĀ
āDo what? Ask if you want more popcorn?ā Pidge replied sarcastically, but Lance could see the mischievous glint in their eyes.Ā
Lance only glared at them in return.
Pidge laughed and said, āAlright, then. More for me.āĀ
āAw, cāmon Pidge.ā Hunk said from his spot on the recliner next to the couch, gaze following their small friend as they made their way around the couch and sat on the floor in front of where Lance was seated. āHeās barely holding it together as is. Donāt make it worse.ā
Lance let out a huff, saying, āIāll have you know that Iām perfectly fine. This movie isnāt even that scary.ā He gestured to the screen where the momentarily forgotten horror flick was still playing.Ā
A snort came from the opposite side of the couch followed by, āThen why are you about to tear the blanket in half?āĀ
Lance glanced down, noticing for the first time his death grip on the blanket that was spread out across his lap. He immediately released his hold, saying, āShut up, Keith. No one asked you.ā
Even in the dark of the room, Lance could see the dangerous look Keith shot at him. He did his best not to flinch and turned his eyes back to the screen.Ā
...That was a mistake. He found himself suddenly thrust back into the nightmare the protagonist had found themselves in. Friends dead. Boyfriend dead. Lost in some forest at night. Hunted by a vengeful ghosty-demony thing.Ā Just about the worst situation imaginable.Ā
I donāt know exactly when Iāll be able to update it but itās definitely soon
