Whispers in the Dark Woods
Encased in an endless expanse of colossal trees and tangled underbrush, the dark woods stand as an imposing natural fortress. Shadows blanket the forest floor, cast by the intertwining branches above that seem to knit together, concealing the sky. The air is thick with an ethereal mist, feeding the atmosphere with an omnipresent sense of mystery and trepidation. This labyrinthine setting isn't merely a backdrop but a character in its own right, shrouding secrets and shaping destinies. The dark woods’ palpable fear plays a pivotal role in the narrative, enhancing suspense and casting an ever-present, looming dread over the unfolding story.

Friday the Thirteenth Part 3
Friday the Thirteenth Part 3 was a hugely successful slasher-cum-splatter flick that knocked E.T.'s wrinkled alien ass off the top of the box-office turdpile back around the time I was developing pubes. All of that is more information than you need obviously but, suffice it to say, it was the El Numero Uno monster rave-'em-up right behind the ill-starred, (even cursed, some say), Poltergeist, back in 1982.

Skibidi Toilet
Norm Peterson had become an unstable mess, a man so terrified from his near death experience that he became scared of crossing the road or travelling by bus or car. The scared little man could barely function, stuttering every sentence. Chad and Stacy were among the students that attended the same college, alongside Nikki Apple who he always thought was a cruel tutor. They had a new head tutor of the class named Mrs Jones, she was just as strict (if not stricter) than the support tutor. A couple of new students had joined the class too, Emily White who was blonde and cute, became best friends with Stacy Queen. There was a new guy similar to Norm though, who seemed just as shy, perhaps more so because he was new and didn't know anyone. This young man was named Benjamin Smith. He wore square glasses that only made him appear even more nerdy alongside his skinny figure and weak will. Norm slowly became friends with Benjamin, although they barely spoke they shared a common interest in reading comics. Despite this new friend however, Norm was still a wreck of nerves. Whenever he got extremely anxious, on the verge of a panic attack, Norm often felt the need to desperately run the toilet. It was an embarrassing urge he kept the utmost secret, as he knew Chad and Stacy would ridicule him endlessly if they knew. Nine times out of ten, Norm never actually needed to go, his anxieties simply got the better of him. Most staff and students thought he was running off to cry, because he felt this way whenever he was being bullied or put on the spot by Miss Apple and Mrs Jones.
