No, I haven't gone insane

I got my newest story posted. I hope it meets approval, gets views, likes, and all that jazz.

But this story is different. Mature, darker, bloodier.

I just wanted to let those of you who follow me that my newest story, "Nightmare Moon On Oak Street," is a horror story, but also that I haven't "lost it."

Yes, the story does have a sex and gore tag. Yes, it's pretty mature, and dark. But I don't want to scare you away. I want to scare you, of course, but IN the story, not before.

I didn't crack up and write clop in a fit, or decide that blood makes the story better. When I wrote my first story like two years ago, I wanted to write one story in each genre. Little did I know how much time/effort/energy it takes to make a good story. I didn't forget about my goal, it just took this long to get around to the horror genre.

I'm still me, I just stretched myself with this story. If you're like me and you browse with the mature filter on, I kindly ask you turn the filter off and give this one a shot.*
