  1. Diminuendo (Ashley Mangtani)

    You might expect the dead to bring back news. They do not. Ninety years of registers on this floor, and not one mention of a light, or a gate. They talk about the letter they never sent, the money they never asked for, the woman they never went back to. And none of them can tell me how they died. But somehow, every man comes round to the last time he emptied himself into his own hand, and there he slows, and takes his time.

  2. The Trows of #Orkney and #Shetland

    What is a #Trow?

    According to Saxby and Edmondston’s 'Home of a #Naturalist’ (1888):

    “This interesting race of #supernatural beings is closely allied to the #Scandinavian #Trolls, but has some very distinctive characteristics of its own. The Trow is not such a mischief-making #sprite as the Troll, is more #human-like in some respects, and his #nature seems cast in a #morbid, #melancholy mould.”

  3. #FunFact: Remember! No matter its source, the water you're drink used to be part of cadavers from past centuries due to water cycles, so you're likely drinking dead animals, including dead people (cadaver fluids). Until we meet again! 🐦‍⬛

  4. CW: Morbid poetry about death via stupid gun use

    Shooting at your friend
    Is not a great sport
    Even with a Kevlar helmet
    I must sadly report

    Seems like at best
    You'll get a TBI
    And at worst
    I am not going to lie

    With your high powered rifle
    You'll splatter your friends brains
    And alas, that brand new Kevlar helmet
    Will have blood stains

  5. Ooh, found a mystery car abandoned in a parking lot. Reg expired in 2019. My theory is it is either stolen or the owner died of COVID-19 and no one knows they parked the car in this lot. #morbid #mystery
