Rec: Mine Own Executioner

Oh. My. Goddess. Mine Own Executioner. One of the most disturbing things I've ever read. Brilliant, but disturbing.

Fluffy is my middle name. Mark Fluffy Hunter. It's a thing.

But "Mine own Executioner"??? Wow. Talk about a twist.

It's because of the mustache, right? It's gotta be tickle-ly. (My ex-stepdads both had one. they traded it back and forth on alternate tuesdays.)

Talk about a twist.

Right? that and Mabus' story are pretty horrifying, and the horror is all in our heads, in what's implied, which is how it should be. Gore and guts aren't scary, they're just gross and icky - not the same things, folks.

Well, it doesn't tickle *me* ... but maybe I'm just used to it. But at the moment I'm growing a beard, because the mustache was lonely, and the beard makes me look all fluffy by itself.

A guy I once worked with showed me a picture of himself with one of these mustaches - the pic was from back in the '70's. I told him it made him look like a cop and he got insulted although he wouldn't say why that was a bad thing.

I sure wouldn't think it's a bad thing! Personally, I always wanted to look like a combination of Burt Reynolds and Clark Gable, but it didn't quite work out for me.

"not the same things". Which took me a long while to learn. Run (http://dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com/19371.html), an early story of mine, got quite a few comments about how dark it is. I didn't see it although that was, in part, because I'd worked out a happier ending that I didn't use. But also because it doesn't show anything; it only suggests. I've since learned that's what you really want to do but back then I was scratching my head, wondering why people were so upset over this story.

Mabus' story are pretty horrifying Note to self: make sure I'm friends with Mabus. ;-)
