An Initiate's Missive
Ok, I have no idea what to put for a prefix, but nothing else fit either, so whatever. I was thinking of a setting that I've been working on, (mostly in my head) and this letter from one of the characters that I've been trying to flesh out, just sorta came to me. The setting is kind of an occult, psychological horror/thriller type thing. Not quite Lovecraftian but in the same ballpark. I mostly just put this here for my own benefit, since without proper context, it probably isn't going to be all that interesting to most people. Last edited by Helvorix; Jun 12th, 2020 at 11:16 AM. |

I love this, Helvorix! Don't worry about the tag, if you want to change it later just PM me, I'm happy to do it. But Vignettes is appropriate for this, and if you were going to include other such letters, I'd love to read them.
Don't underestimate the context provided by that letter alone! I can understand something eldritch happened and someone died (or was otherwise made... nonfunctional), and that it had something to do with the eyes being a portal which could be entered. I love the instructional way you've presented this, as a dumbed-down version of events for whomever is included in "Readers" a wider cult network, perhaps? It felt just the right measure of cautious of offering details but also instructional. I think you hit the perfect balance. I look forward to seeing more of these!

Thanks. That’s exactly what I was going for. “Readers” does indeed refer to a larger cult network.
When I do another one of these, would it be a good idea to post it here, or should I make a new thread? |

If you post it here, you'll get the bonus of letting people subscribe to your thread for updates.
