I am such a sucker for trick or treat time. I hope the kids enjoyed their snacks since we've been cleared out 😂

Happy Halloween y'all!

(KEEP)
Your touch ghosts over the edge of the key, snagging on its jagged teeth.

No.

You grip it tight and the metal earns quickly at your touch.

The key is yours. It's your responsibility. And you don't trust the woods with it anyway.

A faint plaintive scratching comes from...

...the other side of the attic door, the drag of unseen fingers vibrating the wood.

The house and its inhabitants are restless tonight. You understand the feeling. You're restless too. But also so very tired.

- try to sleep
- go for a walk in the woods
- check the house

I am now updating the CYOA again after getting distracted by the trick or treaters coming to the house

I just like to see all the costumes

The key is as much a part of the house as you are but you don't want it. You don't want it in this house. You don't want it in your pocket.

- throw the key away
- keep it

...forcing the grasping fingers to retreat or be snapped off.

Then you jam the key into the lock and turn it over. Locked this time. Locked for good.

You're almost tempted to take the key to the window and toss it out into the empty darkness of the woods beyond.

(CLOSE THE DOOR)
Without thinking you rush to the attic door and shove, catching those spindly fingers and eliciting a wail from the figure there on the stairs. You barely register their twig thin grey arms and eyeless face before you throw the door closed a second time...

It's almost the start of a new month, so here's your regular reminder that if you want to see wips, timelapses, wallpapers, ARTicles, and more, I've got three tiers up on Patreon where you can get exactly that. My goal is to try and reach $50 a month!
www.patreon.com/isthiseva

A promotional graphic for Is This Eva's Patreon. A speech bubble at the top reads: "Support me on Patreon!" Below are circular images depicting the three available tiers: $1 (Need For Seed), $5 (Best Buds), $10 (Beleaf In Me). Decsriptive text reads: "For early access posts, WIPs, time-lapses, high-res downloads, exclusive art, process notes, wallpapers, and more!" At the bottom is a link to my Patreon page. A character walking across a sunflower field holding a basket of sunflowers is imposed over the graphic.

Dianna Gunn Does (Fictional) Murders 🇨🇦 @diannalgunn.bsky.social · 1d

HAPPY HALLOWEEN MOTHERFUCKERS

If you don't already have plans tonight, maybe buy my book full of murders to celebrate with some creepy reading time? books2read.com/u/bO9Ne9

Cover for Killer Debt: An Anthology of Murder on one side of a red blood splatter image. The other side of the image features the words “Have you ever wanted to die… in fiction?

Dianna Gunn asked the Internet this question. Over 30 people said yes. These are their stories.

Sacrificed to demons, killed by velociraptors, hacked to pieces by axe murderers—these are just a few of the deaths you'll find within these pages. From the humorous to the horrific, this horror collection contains a murder for every reader.”

And that's the final CYOA story post for today (curse this migraine)

We'll be back to regular posting at 3 hour increments tomorrow!

(TURN ON THE LIGHT)
You feel untethered and almost unreal but surely light will fix this uneasy sensation lurching beneath your flesh, creeping spidery along your bones.

You feel for the lamp beside you and come up with only air. No lamp. No table. No chair beneath you.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I just found this puzzle box inside a Terry’s chocolate orange, played with it for a moment, and a gang of black-clad, heavily pierced extra-dimensional beings showed up saying they have such sights to show me. Be safe.
