Countdown - Oneshot

"Annihilated from existence by random superghost because of bad luck that day," seems to be a relatively common fate for the average Japanese person.

 

[Bargiel]

Would.

It shocks me how often Horror protagonists encounter threats like ghosts but never think "Yeah I should get an exorcism or something" like the story doesn't need the exorcism to work or even have the exorcists believe them, but it at least would show they're trying everything they can think of and they're desperate for a solution.

Instead they're often just trying to run from, brute force or ignore a clearly supernatural entity that's more locked onto their backs than Fleece Johnson. This has to be a cultural thing that I'm not getting.

Seriously, if something that creepy is stalking me, I'll worship every god in existence lol. Not talk to my friends about it

 

[yun1que]

I don't get it?

Would have been significantly creepier if the girl looked like an actual human (something like Sadako from Ring) instead of a bootleg Fuan no Tane ghost.

I like fever dream-esque horror but this one just felt really, really confusing.

Short summary:

A smudgy mona lisa calls some kid a jew. After several days of torment from this accusation, he vanishes.

Seriously. I've read enough of these things my first instinct would probably go to a temple and see a monk for an exorcism. But that's Fiction Logic. Most people, unless they were religious, probably wouldn't seek spiritual help (or they might ask for help from the wrong person....)

This one's great. Not showing what she actually does to him (most likely she just drags him down to hell) is a good way to end it. It's also neat that she went as far as removing her own arms so she can still fit through that tiny window - and the fact that he can beat her, run her over with a car and even stab her means she has physical qualities to a certain degree.

The "girl" stalking him isn’t human. She’s not evil, not vengeful, not even alive in a way we’d understand. She’s something that was never meant to be explained (embodiment of the unknown). MC unfortunately encounters her and has been marked to death. He tries to fight it but that drives him into a psychotic break before his inevitable death.

This will sound repetitive but the "woman" in this one reminds me of the one from Zashiki Onna yet again.

bruv I'd have already consulted with the Ars Goetia, Daodejing, nearby shrines, etc. literally everything my ass is NOT getting out of this supernatural predicament alive by myself
