Your inspiration was only hiding.

How do you do such intriguing ones?

It's been way too long since I've been here...

Hmm. Let's try and make up for it (hopefully?).

Revenge had never tasted so bitter.

Zombies are mean. Remember that, kids.

Tonight's Flick: Security Guard Versus Dracula.

I had to kill the Boogeyman.

They were anything but "Little Angels."

I was the only policeman left.

The cafe was infested with roaches.

Midnight. It was time to fight.

Not as many as I would have liked...And they're not very good...But there they are.

My inspiration still be dead...

Thanks. It was inspired by an Online game that, while fun, was extremely glitchy...Hence I was never able to finish it.

Good ones, Matt. I wonder, though...what inspired this one?

Let's try some more!

The wolf was hungry. Very hungry.

Her prison was made of bones.

The worst pains, our greatest blessings (Ouch!).

...And that's all I feel like doing right now, because I have a horrible headache...

It's not near as bad now, thankfully.

Spoonful by spoonful, he murdered himself.

The computer wanted to kill me.

Pictures. I hated pictures. Why? Why?! (Why does this seem like a quote from an anime or something? For some reason, I like it. )

Mmm, poison chocolate milk. My favorite.

The psychopathic book was finally dead.

If someone else posts, I may be able to have some more tonight.

The dead King was his victory.

No grave could hold Him, fortunately.

The road led to mysterious places.

Life and death: power of words.

The well dressed man never existed.

The aliens weren't what anyone expected.

Not everything has purpose: this did.

Laws were made to be broken.

His blind eyes saw it all.

Oh, great! The internet died... again.

People hurried everywhere, but getting nowhere.

His thoughts, sane, his mind, crazy.

To him, life wasn't worth living.

Seeing nothing, he took in everything.

Note To Self: Keep Explosives Handy.

Villains are always just in time.

Teatime. A lovely time for terrorism.

Vampires. Werewolves. Zombies. I love it.

A tinker was her unlikely hero (video game/book/movie/something idea I have. Will not go into details at this present time ).

A mall. Terrorists. Two unlikely heroes.

Victory morphed into defeat. Misery reigned.

People never crumble in a day (Compliments of "Slow Fade").

The clay warriors came to life.

Bats. Bats are cool. Vampires aren't.

Jack-o'-lanterns make great weapons.

Trick-or-treating - with firearms. Splendid.

Welcome to warfare. WITH POGO STICKS!!!

Yay! Inspiration seems to be returning.

Two buttons. And one meant death.

Deep in the castle, she prayed.

I had to kill them all.

The train. The train was coming.

Tons of Enemies+Hurt Hero=Bad.

The goblins had one mission: Annihilate.

Mission Log: They're coming. They're here.

All I want for Christmas? EXPLOSIVES!!!!!!

The stranger smiled. Then he vanished.

I love evil clowns, don't you?

Would that I had more and better ones to share.

Alas, here are a few, hopefully decent, ones for now...

Hamlet acts mad; is he really?

Hamlet kills Polonius; Ophelia goes mad.

Hamlet comes back; finds Ophelia dead.

Laertes fights Hamlet; they both die.

Hamlet kills uncle; Horatio mourns Hamlet.

Evil dragons give me horrible headaches.
