LOL @notbrett! I kept the rat under the tight-fit cap of my travel mug. Figured it would suffer more that way. Better steepage, too.

“winter morning at the crime scene”: hot iron fizzles / the radiator hisses / blood drops boil and spit
Raising a cup of coffee in toast to Greg @ruckawriter and wishing it was a Roma blend. Fall, patio, laughter, creativity all over the place!
Agreed @BrandonLayng — tameness is for pets, not wild animals. Horror writers are given license to go wild. Exercise that license!
And furthermore @sarahhollowell: Pay attention to fringes. The periphery. The edge of the shadows. The quiet in the noise. The close beyond.
Also @sarahhollowell : Expose the monstrosity and anxiety of everyday life. Show the crazies for what they really are. Be true to mankind.
Yes @sarahhollowell : Scare yourself boldly. Get the fears out. Don’t censor. BE HONEST. Chances are good if it scares you, it will others.
sarahhollowell @MikeArnzen Do you have anything to say (in 140 characters-ish) on the topic of writing horror?
Gorelets.com Halloween Haiku contest closed to entries! Winner tba soon. THANKS to all for the creepy words.
