Nastily Strange stories
Warning! Some of these stories contain unsavoury elements like violence, drug abuse, sex, torture, suicide, rape, genital piercing and making fun of industrial accidents and mental instability (then again, some of 'em are pretty tame). Reader discretion is advised, which means if you're disturbed by any of these things or if you're under the local age of consent, then you shouldn't view these stories.
Hell
- 23 Diseases
- The title is taken from a song by Severed Heads, Twenty Deadly Diseases. This story describes the odd varieties of influenza you catch from people at roleplaying conventions.
- Angel in Devil's Boots
- Inspired by the Jim Thirlwell song "Street of Shame". I really didn't expect it to go where it did, though. Go figure.
- Baberna
- This was written for Barbara Abernathy, a newbie who wandered into alt.tasteless and didn't have the sense to leave.
- Bashed
- After seeing - in alt.sex.stories - an asshole mention how he beat up his girlfriend, I got slightly peeved and wrote a reply detailing how a Metamorph would've dealt with him.
- Bowling
- I have no idea where the central image in this came from, but it struck me as something Jeff "Scorched Earth Party" Vogel might do.
- Cenobite
- For those who don't recognise the modern usage of the word, the Cenobites are characters from Clive Barker's Hellraiser films; a combination of torturing inquisition priest, leather fetishist and corpse. I've always wanted to be one.
- Cestoda
- This was written for alt.tasteless. I wanted to be able to write about the most repellent things I could think of - sex, drugs, violence and politically incorrect behaviour - with no restraints. It worked.
- Cestoda 2
- Cestoda went over so well I thought I'd continue the story. If you can credit it, the second one was worse than the first. I'm currently working on a third, once I establish credible ways to bring most of the characters back from the dead.
- Dilemma
- Of course, NASA would never send up anyone unstable enough to behave like this. Longworth and Robertson, however, can often be found in the Aus Undernet's #Gothic, as Longi and Orlock. Heh.
- Eliza and Charlie
- or, where the I in AI-Chat breaks down. Eliza's responses in this are real.
- Eraserhead Baby
- Watch David Lynch's Eraserhead and then read about Mark Pauline and SRI for a while. This'll all make sense.
- Games
- A combination of the image of a Video Games Parlour and the device in Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius books which siphons energy from people.
- Horror Story
- A brief piece with a nasty end; the idea came to me -just popped into my head - while I was walking past a palm-reader's booth in the city. I must be sick or something.
- Implement, The
- or, crafting magickal weaponry. It was only two-thirds of the way into the story that I realised the protagonist was actually female. I don't know what that says about me.
- Jump
- Written for alt.tasteless; a response to Stephen King's claim that "Anyone who is serious about suicide jumps off a building."
- Legality
- Another alt.tasteless story, involving space-suits with holes in the crotch and explosive decompression.
- The Church of Leviathan
- After seeing those dippy `Christian Television Association' commercials, this is the sort of rebuttal I'd like to make, if anyone wants to fund it.
- Live and Let Die
- This is a rather nasty murder fantasy. It's not hard to guess who it's aimed at, but of course, the usual disclaimers apply.
- Minister
- This was written for alt.tasteless, but is in fact rather tame for that newsgroup. It's the sort of thing you'd like to do if you were surrounded by a baying pack of reporters.
- Nasa
- An alt.tasteless story about the Challenger Shuttle disaster.
- Nightmare
- This actually happened. Don't try this one at home, kids!
- Piercing
- A description of how I got my Prince Albert piercing.
- Red, Green, Blue
- A script for an awfully violent Japanese cartoon, written just after I'd watched Legend of the Overfiend. You can tell. The bit with the purple rabbits was not written with anyone specifically in mind.
- Read the Fucking Manual
- Rather silly descriptions of the criminal class; two illiterates steal VR- walkmans and can't read the warning labels on some illegal snuff-porn sensory cassettes.
- The Scorched Earth Party Fairy
- A lovely little tale about Timmy, who was granted a wish by the Scorched Earth Party Fairy, and how it all went horribly wrong. For more information about the Scorched Earth party, click
here.
- Siaoubo
- This actually happened; going to see Einstuerzende Neubauten with a lovely young woman who just happened to be a drug-crazed fiend.
- Mr Skase Comes Home
- Things you'd really like to do to certain entrepeneurs who flee the country after ripping people off.
- Skeksis, or Are Doughnuts Gothic?
- I was eating some jam doughnuts; I looked down on them and suddenly saw them as living creatures, things that I was sucking the life out of. It reminded me of the beings in The Dark Crystal, so I described it from that point of view.
- Other Voices
- I don't know for sure if I have multiple personality syndrome, but reading this would be enough to convince most people.
- The Death of Wesley Crusher
- When I found out that there was a newsgroup called alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die, I had to write something to post in there.
- Buried Alive In Poo
