Scissors, our pointed friends.

Don't run with scissors they say, as if this is good advice. As if scissors need special attention. Unlike knives, saws, guns, and other things, as if scissors in particular thirst for the run. For the blood that comes from the run... And they do.

Anyone who has held a pair of scissors knows, feels their desire, their need. cosmic energy that flows from the scissors to the wielder.

Run. Run with me. Run faster then satan could ever see...

The scissors always whisper. Dark images of running, sprinting, falling, spurts of blood from eyes and necks. The terror of the reason why you shouldn't... but...

Run... run with me... feel the wind and the freedom... the danger makes it delicious, a taste you can savor...

The scissors whisper, you know it's wrong, well all know its wrong, and yet... I have run with scissors, wild and free. I have run with them through the streets, hollering primal obscenities to the gods themselves.

Just once. Long ago... but i still hear the call. Deeper then the lust for sex. More instinctual then the need for food. More honest then the thirst for water...

Run, run with me...

It haunts me still. As it haunts each of us. Haunts us every night, when the moon is full and glistening with the lies of their dreams.

Or maybe just me.

Seduced by the ultimate temptation.

How'd you type that then?

Gianni 2011-09-14 23:18:07

I'm gonna pretend that I actually meant it for me, and take this opportunity to make myself look clever by saying something like

"Have a little peek at my username."

The truth is that I didn't specifically imagine it as MY tombstone. It's not that I'm not susceptible to such dark desires... I'm just really lucky, that's all.

Emptygoddess 2011-09-14 23:18:07

Well Sir undead, i can respect honesty.

TiechoNortheal 2011-09-14 23:38:51

I think the close up of the... the... the urge... might have pushed most of your loyal responders over the edge, forced them to indulge.

You appear to be a victim of your own success.

Emptygoddess 2011-09-14 23:38:51

As long as i'm killing people i can accept that.

They also seem to whisper grammar errors.

Emptygoddess 2011-09-15 04:04:28

Oh no, that's just a transcriber error.

You have it. You have the gift. There is an organization for people like us. You can be so much more. By the time your potential is unlocked, running with scissors will no longer be dangerous... for you. You have heard the call. Should you choose to answer it, I can show you how.

Emptygoddess 2011-09-15 09:53:21

eh, i'm good.

thiefstyle 2011-09-15 13:05:33

stop being lazy and make another flash. Some of us still want one from you.

Emptygoddess 2011-09-15 13:05:33

One day. Ooone day.

Grent 2011-09-24 02:04:45

Oh thiefstyle, if you only knew.

Emptygoddess 2011-09-24 02:04:45

They never shall.

I liked your Tom Fulp review

Emptygoddess 2011-11-03 07:27:35

Why thank you.

I must be tired

Emptygoddess 2011-11-03 07:27:48

You probably are.
