The Dream
I like Christmas, it always was my favorite holiday when i was a child, likely due to it being the first large holiday of the school year, and because the cold made it feel more like a time of pleasant seclusion in one's heated rooms...

However i still am artificially expanding the volume of some echoes from the Abyss i am tied to (as all humans are, i think :satan: ), so i am continuing a new short story, with a dark spirit.

The story is mainly about how people can make the error to term horrible developments as 'monstrous' or with the use of related epithets, which tends to make them instead be tied more to them in their attempt to distance their selves fast from the dreaded events. In the story that event is about a person in this city who seems to have killed someone and then used the corpse as a sort of room-mate. At least in his confession he spend upwards of ten pages to refer to some "discussions" he had with the corpse, that to him was now moving again and speaking. But the public focused on the horrible nature of the crime itself (the corpse was moreover amputated), and so never could examine what exactly this pitiful story of the criminal was about.

-I would like to ask if you find the above very brief synopsis (more of a basis for foreshadowing, really) interesting or not :) I now have almost 40 printed stories (and of course no book yet :( but the prospects are better for me), so i am quite content with how my work in literature is developing. :)
 
I think I like it if the roommate is santa.

I'm not even kidding - the guy who killed the guy starts thinking that it's santa. He killed this person due to his hate of Christmas - since he has no family and so on, or no family worth buying gifts for.

So it's interesting, but you're on the edge of making it really interesting. And festive
 
But 'Santa' here is actually St Basil -the Great- of Caesaria, and you would get the less refined elements of the orthodox church's clergy to attack me if i wrote something like that :eek:

Then again, for the last 200 years, the Orthodox clergy didn't matter much save for one moment they saved the Jews in WWII.

Good, it'll be even darker then! And controversy is good for business.
