24 - REIGN

“You’re late.” I ignore my boss as I squeeze around him and into the break room, yanking open a locker to shove my jacket and backpack inside. “The bar is slammed and you’re fucking late.”

I could tell him that I had the strangest dream last night. That I woke up with the electric copper taste of pennies on my tongue. That I had to dig to the back of my closet for a long sleeve shirt that fit dress code and glove to match.

I could tell him that I don’t remember why I need to dress that way or how I got here, that something feels off, wrong, but things always feel off. Like I’m a little more left of center than the rest of the world, spread thin and slid between the cracks of space and time.

But that sounds maudlin and off-putting.

And also, I know he doesn’t give a shit.

He just wants me to do my terrible, minimum wage job so the nepo babies in their thirty thousand dollar watches don’t have to suffer through a lukewarm drink.

I slink past him toward where the five-gallon bucket is tucked into the corner next to the ice machine. It clatters as I approach it, fresh ice dropping into the bottom compartment. The promise of tediousness and monotony pulls at me. I don’t want to think. I don’t want to remember my dream. I don’t want to taste the rich, bright flavor on my tongue.

“Don’t fucking ignore me,” he barks, his big hand clamping onto my upper arm like a vice and yanking me back from the handle of the bucket. “Just because we gave some freak a pity job doesn’t mean you don’t have to work like the rest of us.”

His thick sausage fingers dig painfully into the meat of my bicep and I just wish he would stop fucking touching me.

Every humming fluorescent light in the break room pops at once, plunging the space into pitch black nothingness.

I blink in the sudden darkness and realize that I can see.

He’s pinned against the wall, toes scraping the floor and eyes bulging at the pressure the thing around his neck. Long fingers. Mottled black skin fitted tight to bone. Talons like a bird of prey dimpling the skin of his neck.

I blink and he whimpers.

The shadows rise, coiling and curling around us, wrapping up my arms and prying at his mouth, his nose, his eyes. Trying to find a place to grab hold. Enough leverage to pull him apart.

I blink and lean forward.

He flinches but he can’t pull himself far enough away to avoid the words that hiss into his ear for every corner of the room.

“Look at you.” The words are somehow sibilant even without a single S. “A tiny little man, reigning over a useless little kingdom, just to feel something. I can make you feel something.”

I blink and his mouth opens wide.

Then wider and wider, the shadows hooking eager tendrils over his bottom teeth and pulling down, down, down until the edges of his mouth start to tear, turning his trembling, begging lips into something huge and leering.

I blink and a scream gurgles in the back of his throat.

The talons piercing the dimpling flesh as his tongue lolls out of his mouth at an angle, unused to all the extra space, his thick, sausage fingers scrabbling at the desiccated flesh of the arm attached to those claws.

I blink and bolt upright in bed.

My mouth is still filled with a coating of metal and salt, sticking to my teeth and my tongue and my memory. I flop back onto my too-flat pillow and scrub my hands down my face ignoring the way that one of them scrapes roughly across my jaw.

I haven’t called my psychiatrist for an emergency session in four years but I roll to my side and start patting the bedside table for my phone anyway.

🎃SpookTober 31 Days Prompts🎃:

Day 24: Ghost👻

Ghost!Albert Blithe x GN!Reader. AU: Modern.Blithe is a ghostly boi. There's fluff don't worry! Friendly ghost. Visitations from beyond. SpookTober Prompt: Ghost👻

●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●

☆●~Ghostly Visit~●☆

You've been feeling his presence grow stronger coming into autumn and you smile as your beloved ghostly boy makes his visit to you.

The moment you first moved into the house you purchased in a little neighbourhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania you knew something was, off. Not necessarily in a bad way, just that it felt strange. You always felt like you weren't truly alone in the house, like someone or something was living inside the house with you, just you never saw them.

A few weeks since moving in, you began experiencing some strange occurrences. Objects would seemingly move on their own, you leave something in the kitchen and suddenly you'd find it in the bathroom. Sometimes lights would flicker on and off, even when you unplugged your lamp the light still flickered with life. You'd hear footsteps in the hallway and upstairs when you knew no one was there. And you'd always feel a cold chill sweep through you as you walked about the house.

You eventually asked around and found out that the previous owner was a soldier in the war and that he lived in the house until his death from an illness which took him suddenly. Owners who have lived in the house before you reported experiencing some strange happenings and everyone came to the conclusion that the spirit of the owner, Albert Blithe still resides in the house to this day.

So you were living with a ghost apparently but you never actually saw the ghost......until one October night he showed himself to you. A pale, young man in his 20s, light blond hair styled in an undercut and soft baby blue eyes. He still wore his uniform and you saw that this ghost was a paratrooper of the 101st Airborne, the eagle badge proved that.

"The Screaming Eagles" You Spoke softly, startling the spirit. His eyes widened at hearing you say the words.

"You know t..the nickname?" Asked Blithe softly.

You nodded with a smile, seeing the ghost was friendly.

"Yeah, I'm a bit of a history nerd you know. History is my favourite subject" You Answered. Blithe nodded with a hum, his eyes staring around the house.

"I've seen so many people come and go in this old house. Not many stay long, not when I make my....um, presence known" Explained Blithe softly but sadly.

"I heard around about the owners that lived in the house before me. But you aren't a mean ghost are you?" You Asked, just to be truly sure. Blithe's head shot up and looked at you with wide eyes.

"N...No! Of course not, I've never....never hurt no one.....not anybody with my.....ghostly activities. I can assure you that I...I'm harmless, honest" Stammered Blithe. You smiled softly.

"Don't worry, I can see that. So, you don't mind me living here?" You Asked.

"You're more than welcome! I won't do nothing to make trouble, I promise" Promised Blithe with a soft smile of his own. And with a smile of your own, thus began you and Blithe living together in relative peace. A human and a ghost, coexisting in harmony.

You learned over time that Blithe can make himself seen but around October, he becomes quite strong to show himself more and become physical, but when the month ends, slowly he returns to being invisible except for only being seen in mirrors.

6 years on and you remained living in the house with your ghostly housemate and things worked smoothly.

Now it's October once again and you felt a powerful cold wave hit you as you smiled, knowing full well that when you turned around you'd see your ghostly friend standing there, uniform and all.

And you turned around to see exactly that. Blithe stood there, smiling softly at you and looking at the Halloween decorations with bright eyes.

"Happy Halloween!" You Greeted him and he blushed a little with a chuckle.

"Happy Halloween! But it's only the 24th" Chuckled Blithe. You giggled and walked over to him.

"October is practically Halloween, Halloween everyday of October until November" You Stated proudly as you grabbed Blithe's hands. His hands were forever cold as ice, but you didn't mind. A cup of warm coffee or some cinnamon cocoa will fix that.

"Want something warm to drink?" You Suggested. Blithe's eyes brightened further and he smiled.

"Yes please, that would be swell" Replied Blithe with a smile. You went to the kitchen, still holding Blithe's hand as you did. You set about making some cinnamon hot chocolate for the both of you as Blithe helped.

"The cinnamon will warm you up good Blithe!" You Remarked with a grin as Blithe blushed pink and chuckled softly.

"Cinnamon is the best spice to warm up with" Agreed Blithe bashfully.

"That and chili pepper" You Joked, laughing when Blithe grimaced.

"I don't think I've seen people put chili peppers in hot chocolate and probably that's a good thing" Grimaced Blithe as he thought of someone actually putting peppers in hot chocolate and the thought alone made him grimace even more with a slight shiver.

Once the hot chocolates were made, you two went into the living room and sat down on the couch, a cosy fire burning away as some random episode of the Twilight Zone played.

"Oh I've seen this episode! It's a really good one" Remarked Blithe excitedly. You gave a grin of excitement.

"Oh goodie, I love watching the Twilight Zone and if this is a good episode, count me in" You Cheered and Blithe smiled and took a sip of the warm, tasty cinnamon hot chocolate and sighed happily, feeling the drink spread warmth across his body. Even though the warmth will fade eventually and he'll be cold as ice again, he didn't mind. Just take another sip and he was warm again for that moment and he made sure to savour the warmth as long as he could.

"Hey Blithe, I want to ask you something since you'll be like this at least for another 7 days until November 2nd" You Explained shyly. Blithe turned and looked at you curiously.

"What is it?" Asked Blithe curiously.

"Do you.....maybe wanna join me for a scary movie sleepover marathon on Halloween?" You Asked shyly.

Blithe felt his cheeks heat up but he smiled at you and reached out, taking your hand in his and you looked up, eyes wide.

"I'd like that Y/N" Replied Blithe, leaning over and pressing a cold yet tender kiss to your forehead that made your heart race.

You returned the gesture, kissing Blithe on his cheek and you could feel the faint warmth on his cheek at that.

"Thank you Blithe" You Replied, smiling with adoration as Blithe smiled back, love in his eyes.

"You're welcome Y/N. And thank you" Thanked Blithe.

You looked at him.

"For everything. For making me feel human again" Smiled Blithe and you two embraced each other in a comforting hug.

“You could pretend that regime didn't exist, or rationalize its excesses away, or seek to insulate yourself through wealth or connections, or flee it and hide, or hope that whatever capricious reason it would crush people other than you.

And all of those things were easy to do. The harder thing by far was to fight - to attract that murderous regime's attention, and become an object of its malice.

But that was the only thing to do. Those who chose something else were hoping that the monster they had ignored would eat them last.” ― Jason Fry, The Last Jedi

Spooktober Prompt #24

The scarecrow guarded the field. Day and night. Rain or sun. Heat or Cold. It was not the most impressive job for a golem, but if the witch had found it important enough to animate them for, maybe there was more to these twisted crops than they appeared.

There was also the crow. The scarecrow watched them through inked eyes every day, six feet of scraggly feathers and lanky bone relentlessly circling their charge. They stayed well enough away; the scarecrow had already demonstrated in their presence, their manner of dealing with thieves. So why did they return every day? What were they waiting for?

Spectober 2023

Hiya folks! Spectober 2023 is nearly upon us!!! Welcome to year 4 (!!!) of this event, a month of spooky writing and art prompts for each day of October! Think Spooktober, but Paranatural themed.

We'll be posting daily prompts, both for writing and art. These will be separated into two separate lists. However, if you ever want to use a ‘writing prompt’ for art, or vice versa, you are absolutely welcome to! While they are listed day to day, you can skip as many as you’d like and do them out of order if you’d prefer to.

We’ll be using the tag #spectober2023 for the event, so be sure to tag your creations with it! We'll be reblogging the stuff you all make to this blog. Word of advice: make sure the tag is within the first five, or it won’t show up. If we haven’t reblogged your submission within 24 hours, feel free to message us.

The Art Prompts and Writing prompts will be up momentarily!

fairy fairy fairy!!!! Your first kinktober 2023 fic got me screaming crying throwing up, it is so well-written!!!!!!!! I’m a real sucker for asylum-themed stories during the time when science was full of inhumane sht and women were considered mad when they don’t fit the stereotype, so perhaps it’s best to throw them in a mental institution. That lobotomy procedure was bone-chilling, you really did so well describing the scene and it really did convince me to also search where the rod should be inserted during the surgery (And it really hurts ugh pls tell me she at least passed out a few minutes bc of enduring too much pain SHDJDNND). The fic is so amazing AHHH though pls spare me bc i have some questions and i think it’s my tiny brain’s fault for missing a lot of details in the story >_<

1. reader may or may not have killed her partner bc of getting abused so she was sent to the asylum? Was she given the verdict of being a mad woman instead of going to prison bc someone pulled some strings?

2. Who is iwa really? He is a doctor, that’s for sure, but how did he know reader? Like what is their history?

Have a lovely day, fairy! Happy spooktober/kinktober 💀👻

Thank you so muCH LOVELY ♡♡♡ me too me too thiS WAS SUCH A FUN IDEA N prompt to write because it’s just really ?? dehumanising and sad by nature so I had a lot of fun playing w it

AcKJFJDJR AND Yea she most definitely passed out after, I think it’s impossible to get a metal rod jammed through your skull without having a little nap pFFFFGETRHE I laugh but it’s really not funny, some of the stuff I learned while researching for this fic was actually very upsetting

As for your questions !!! I think that Iwa probably pulled some strings to get her to come down with “insane woman disease” instead of just normal judging of second degree murder. But then again, reader doesn’t remember anything :< did she even commit the crime? was it self defence? or was there maybe another option that the judges didn’t even consider?? who knows, if Iwa says she belongs in the insane ward, she probably does right? Hehehhe

And as for their history, you can have your own backstory or ideas! I left it open for you to interpret. But personally I think Iwa probably does have prior knowledge of the pretty, soon to be newlywed down the street. Maybe his crush has dragged on for a bit longer than he’d like to admit. Maybe he’s got his own house where a sweet little housewife that doesn’t have to worry about nothing at all would fit really really well- and well, isn’t he just so very lucky that you happened to kill your fiance, and that you’re able to be in his care 24/7. Life is full of little coincidences ·◌̊ˈ*(⁰̶̶̷ ˙̮ ⁰̴̷̷๑ॢ॓).°◌̊
