10 Tell-Tale Signs You’re a Horror Writer
By Nomar Knight
Here’s a possible blueprint for those youngsters wondering
if they are future horror writers or just plain weird.
10. A classmate
vomits and while everyone is busy gagging and saying “Yuck!” in your mind
you’re picturing the kid spit out his organs and actually find yourself hoping
for the worst.
9. On your way to
school you witness a man get hit by a car and as he’s being put into the
ambulance, you wonder if he’ll end up as food for cannibals.
8. Every time you go
to a cemetery you keep envisioning graves opening from the ground and zombies
rising to feed on the living.
7. In your imaginary
world, a Chihuahua can swallow Cujo whole.
6. You avoid mowing
the lawn at all costs because you could have sworn the neighbor’s cat was captured
by a large creature with talons.
5. When you get
bullied at school you think up of new ways to torture the offenders.
4. A walk through the
woods to grandma’s house ends with you turning into a werewolf and feasting on
your annoying little brother.
3. You throw a fit
when your mother wakes you from a nightmare so you won’t be late for school.
2. As far as you’re
concerned, you never drink fruit punch.
It’s blood, damn it!
1. And the number one
reason you know you are a horror writer…nothing makes you happier than hearing
girls scream which explains why your pockets are filled with spiders and other creepy
crawly creatures.
