Haunted

SPOILER WARNING for anyone who hasn't read Mortal Coil. Look away now.

Just a quick note to say that the Halloween story will be appearing as soon as I've finished it. HOPEFULLY that will be tonight, but it might be tomorrow, and appear on Halloween itself. I have to say, it feels good to be writing about Tanith once again, even if she IS ever so slightly evil...

SPOILER OVER

And speaking of Halloween, look at the desktop thingy you can download. Yay desktop thingies!





In keeping with the general creepiness of the season, may I also direct your attention to Haunted, a compilation of ghost stories by various writers, of which I am one. It's out now, and as part of the promotion, the writers are appearing as guests on various blogs around blogland. I had the good fortune of writing a piece for the Bookwitch, which can be found here:

I dedicate this page to Mist!

Mist, even on the most exciting days, talking to you is always the highlight. I miss you terribly when you're gone, and I'm smuper happy when you're here. I love you do much, I'd do anything for you, just to make you happy. 'Fraid I can't say much anymore, I've already drummed it all into your head. :D

I love you so much, Mist!

HULK SMASH!

I also dedicate this page to Hulk Smash. :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi gab

Hi flamereno

Eve the ROCK said...

You shared a dedication with Hulk Smash. :D

Gabriel said...

Did you give Flame a kiss, Mist?

Eve the ROCK said...

Why didn't you write a story for Iron Skeleton?

Zathract Mist said...

*scowls*

No, I didn't, Gab.


Because, firstly I don't think it's funny, secondly I can't think of one. And you haven't done one.

Eve the ROCK said...

I forgot to also dedicate to apricots!!!

Gabriel said...

Done what?

Zathract Mist said...

Wasn't talking to you, Gab. *rolls eyes*

Eve the ROCK said...

Who were you talking to?

Gabriel said...

Still, done what?

Eve the ROCK said...

Me? *is like that weird cat in Puss In Boots*

Zathract Mist said...

. . .

*closes eyes and sits back in couch*

Something, something did something on somethingday in something town with Mr. Something. Something?

Star Inkbright said...

*sigh* here. Finally

Zathract Mist said...

Hiya, Star.

Will switch to iPod now people.

Eve the ROCK said...

*blinks* I suppose you're right, Mist. I suppose, you're, right.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi star

Gabriel said...

Hello Starmerino.

Star Inkbright said...

Something, zath.

Zathract Mist said...

*is back and feeling incredibly empty for some reason*

. . .

Eve the ROCK said...

*gently pokes Mist's cheek* What's wrong, Mist?

Star Inkbright said...

Apparently i have half an hour free time.

Zathract Mist said...

*is poked*

*shrugs*

Star Inkbright said...

Electronical.

Elect Ronny Kal.

Eve the ROCK said...

*holds Mist's hand and starts tapping his fingers*

Star Inkbright said...

*is crossing out more than i'm writing*

Zathract Mist said...

*smiles at Eve*

Eve the ROCK said...

*smiles back amid pokes him again*

Eve the ROCK said...

*and

Zathract Mist said...

*gets poked*

Whats with all the poking?

Eve the ROCK said...

I don't know. Maybe it's one of my crazy experiments. :D

Star Inkbright said...

888

Gabriel said...

I'm hungry......
for hunger!

Zathract Mist said...

*is suddenly confused*

Uh oh...
If I feel empty and then confused, I'm most likely going to have a huge rage.
So: I don't mean anything I'm going to say people!

Star Inkbright said...

Is this hunger thing a game? *grins*

Star Inkbright said...

Why are you going to say "To people"?

Gabriel said...

iT'S CALLED THE HUNGRY FOR HUNGER GAMES!

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay. Go nuts. :)

Gabriel said...

THERE'S ONLY 4 PEOPLE HERE

Eve the ROCK said...

You know, as far as apologizing for a predicted rage goes, I'm pretty sure this is a first. :D

Star Inkbright said...

15 more minutes, then i gtg to the orthordontist.

Coz i lost my retina.

Eve the ROCK said...

Poor Starrio.

...do you want space, Mist?

Spaaaaace...

Brainzzzz...

Gabriel said...

Guys, let's do Riddles!

Star Inkbright said...

It appears to be raining outside.

Why does it appear to be raining?

I'm not completely certain, of course, but i'm pretty sure it's because it's raining.

Eve the ROCK said...

The only person who would ask something like that is someone who knows a lot of riddles.

Zathract Mist said...

*sighs*

I can't rage when Eve's here. I have no reason to rage.

But I'm still empty for some reason...

*tries to think why self is empty*

Gabriel said...

I know a good one that's why!

Star Inkbright said...

No, i mean, it IS actually raining irl.

How do you know? Have you actually been out there?

Well, no, but . . .

Star Inkbright said...

Going to clean my teeth. If i'm back in less than two minutes, you have permission to tell me off.

Eve the ROCK said...

I've felt like that before. Empty. I just...you know, eat a live chicken and wait til it gets better. It does. If it didn't, I'd still be there, in the lumpy space.

Zathract Mist said...

I can't eat live chickens.

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins and starts timer*

Gab, just spit it out. I know you're dying to tell the riddle.

Gabriel said...

When I feel empty I just lie down somewhere and listen to slow music. With a really warm blanket. While reading the Hunger Games.

Gabriel said...

A man is being chased by 50 soldiers.
He is very tired. He found a lamp and a genie comes out. The genie said that he would grant one wish but the things he wishes for, the soldiers will get in double.

The man escapes the soldiers.Thanks to the genie.

What did he wish for?

Gabriel said...

Oh, because Mist was feeling empty, I didn't want to Riddle while he was feeling empty.

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, but that's not my point. *smiles* Blankets work. Sleeping works. Just go to sleep, and dream the emptiness away...*zones out*

Gabriel said...

Yeah....I like sleeping cause it's like death, but temporary, and you don't rot if you sleep.

Found an answer to the riddle yet?

Star Inkbright said...

*thinks about riddle carefully*

No idea, gab.

Eve the ROCK said...

Half a heart attack.

Gabriel said...

You're on the right track, Eve


Just think, Star.

Star Inkbright said...

A thunderstorm?

A hole?

A pitfall trap?

Gtg bbl

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye star

Eve the ROCK said...

I don't know, gab. My brain only half functions after nine o clock.

Gabriel said...

Bye Star.

Hint: It's something bad

Gabriel said...

It's a glass eye.

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay then. Good riddle. Brava, brava.

*starts making circles on the back of Mist's hand*

Gabriel said...

I think you know this one

The beginning of eternity, the of time and space, the beginning of everything, and the end of everyplace.

Eve the ROCK said...

Addition to riddle: the beggining and the end of Eve.

Eve the ROCK said...

Mist...?

Gabriel said...

So you worked it out.


Bravo.

Eve the ROCK said...

Please. Everyone tells that one to me and act all smug when I don't bother answering for the millionth time.

Gabriel said...

Is Mist still here?

Gabriel said...

I don't act smug.

Eve the ROCK said...

My comments...

Eve the ROCK said...

Mist...

:(

Gabriel said...

Maybe he fell asleep?

Eve the ROCK said...

I don't think so...

Maybe his Internet just died...

Gabriel said...

He was on his iPod. Maybe.

Eve the ROCK said...

Mm.

*sighs*

Eve the ROCK said...

Depressing songs don't help...

Gabriel said...

Zathract Mist said...

Eve...?

Eve the ROCK said...

*nods* Good song. But I hate those kind of videos...

Eve the ROCK said...

Yay!!!! *hugs Mist*

Zathract Mist said...

*hugs back*

It's all Telstra's fault that I vanished.

And Dymocks. Always Dymocks.

Eve the ROCK said...

Stupid Dymocks. And you can never trust Telstra. *shakes head disappointedly*

Eve the ROCK said...

*smiles gently and starts music again*

SH*T!!!

*quickly turns off music*

God, that was loud.
