I gotta admit: the last one was inspired by the question "What if Walter White was a vampire?"

A very stripped down approach to portray something like sin-eating.

i am not faimiliar with the concept of sin-eating . .
i could have understood somebody wanting to be remembered, but being remembered because of the scars of somebody else, who may die or get the scars ruined in another way?

Are we not all the sum of our smallest sins? Think on this as you read "The Ten Million Demons" on The Unpublishable: http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2012/1 ... emons.html

That one is very well written, only one error sprung out at me . . wroth instead of wrath, if that was not intended . .
I feel there is a kind of moral in here somewhere, but i can only make out"bigger is not always better, quantity will trump quality over time every time"

and i did not understand what the swings had to do with anything, aside from some, in my opinion, not needed exposition . . i think it hurt the flow of the story more than it helped explain the basic premises O.o

I'm not sure it works, and I'm not sure it doesn't work, but I had to write something because the planned piece for this week was...truly unpublishable, at least in its current form.

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

I flipped coins at random to select sentences from Lovecraft's correspondence - each sentence in that letter, right down to the header and footer, are from his letters - and then arranged them. So the only thing I wrote myself was the introduction; the rest is a result of a random composition. It was a bit of an experiment.
