déjà vu [already seen] | a horror story ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ: 1507 words тɪмε: 1 month, 12+ hours :P ʀᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ ᴛɪᴍᴇ: 3 - 5 minutes мυѕι¢: "melancholia" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9WsZoceais trigger warnings: includes mentions of de@th, m0nsters, reoccurring scenes, and m0rb!d appearances -- read at your own risk!! navigation: arrow keys, space, click / press "how had i forgotten?" ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ A simple decision, choice, choosing. a shortcut. "what are we willing to give up in the long term for something minor in the short term?" a lot, it seems. because this is was what led to her destruction -- and maybe yours. happy halloween. ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ 10.18.2024. um, hi. i apologize for scaring y'all with that creepy desc, but i had to contribute to the vibe, yk? + surprise!! i am not de@d!! i was simply waiting for the right date to post this :} (and also, it's my 13th project!!) i literally spent so long on this story -- so very long. and the fact that the end result isn't even that satisfactory? idk what to think, it's hurting me how sometimes we work real hard on smth and it turns out horrible. but still, i hope you enjoy :} maybe it is good after all. the journey of writing this was a very rough process. i started writing it in september, and finished sometime after my birthday (8th / 9th)... i'm not quite sure. the reason why it was so slow bc i kept on going back to change things, adding similies and metaphors and figurative language and the such. and deleting words and editing others. at least i finished!! also -- you /cannot/ report this. if this gets removed -- i swear, if it does, i am going to enter a depression stage bc i literally worked so hard on this piece of writing. simply stated, do not read smth if you can't handle the content. and if you do, too bad. also, i think the thumb is giving 1970s memoir vibes...? idk, i just thought it would be more horror-vibey, but then again, i've never been good at this stuff. the reason why i wrote this was bc i remember seeing @-Sunmeadow-'s horror story sometime a year ago, and thought it'd be fun to write an annual horror story every halloween. it's fun, but like -- not as fun as i'd thought. and so here i am. hope you have a great halloween / day!! please enjoy ^^ ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ inspo - , , , , and : pages, code & description inspiration!! this story idea came from a concept i saw in a dr. who episode. (i used to have an elementary school teacher who liked the tv series and we'd watch it in class, those were the good old days ^^) i don't quite remember which episode it was, but somewhere in it, there was this woman who kept on seeing a creepy alien. the catch was that she forgot about them right after seeing them... also, this story was also (partially) inspired by the song lyrics from halloween by phoebe bridgers. another factor was the book "aurora rising." it's a long story, but déjà vu was also kind of inspired by that book. + sorry for the long and chaotic desc, this is a sneak peek into my inner monologue :} ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ read my other short stories (for a similar vibe)!! - one last time: the tears i've shed: ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ quotev version: https://www.quotev.com/story/16770881/d%C3%A9j%C3%A0-vu-already-seen-a-horror-story/1 ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━ © theoddity 31st october 2024
