Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
“Hey Ebony!” shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…. Draco Malfoy!
“What’s up Draco?” I asked.
“Nothing.” he said shyly.
But then, I heard my friends call me and I had to go away.

Once upon a time, when the general rules of human physiology and logic were too drunk to do their jobs, a girl named Mandy woke up in her bed. Mandy was a beautiful girl who had beautiful hair and beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile that was very beautiful. She was also very small for her age, which people thought was cute even though her small size was probably caused by some horrific, incurable disease. She was also a girl, which meant she had BIG HONKING BOOBS and a VAGINA!!!!1 Every day when she woke up she would put on a top hat and dance and dance and dance, because she was named Mandy and that's what Mandies do. Today was different, though because she realized that sometime during the night before, SHE'D WET THE BED!

"OH NO! I HAVE WET THE BED!" Screamed Mandy. Suddenly, the door exploded and Mandy's mommy walked in with a rocket launcher.

"AH HA! My parental radar was correct! You've been a bad, naughty, SEXY little girl, Mandy! Now, bend over so I can SPANK YOU!" She said. She then took Mandy by the wrist and spanked her hard on the ass.

"If you decide to act like a baby, you'll BE A BABY! You're going to wear DIAPERS little Ms. PeePee McPeePee!"

"OH NO!" Mandy exclaimed. She cried because diapers were embarrassing and bad for the environment. Mandy's Mommy then put her into her diapers and rubbed babypowder into her VAGINA, a process described in plodding, unreasonably precise detail.

"Now that you are wearing diapers, it's time for your BA BA!" Mandy's mommy then took a bottle and aimed the nipple for her daughter's mouth, but somehow missed and shoved it up her ass.

"Why are you doing this?" Mandy cried, tears welling in her eyes. "Because I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO!" Screamed Mandy's Mommy maniacally. A knock then echoed from the door, and LO! There was Cindy, one of Mandy's classmates who was also a girl with BIG HONKING BOOBS (Vagina status unknown)!!!1

"Oh, what a surprise! It is Cindy! Mandy's babysitter!" Mandy then gasped, because this was a shocking plot development. "But how could you have hired a baby sitter if you'd only started babying me just this morning?" Mandy queried.

"Oh, that's simple! I just AAAAAAAAAAUGH!" That was the last thing Mandy's Mommy said, because she was thereafter carried out through the window by millions of baby Pterodactyls.

"Hello Mandy, I'm your babysitter!" Cindy said. "Hi, I'm Mandy." There was an awkward silence, and then a loud "BOOM" as Mandy's diaper exploded with shit.

"Looks like someone needs a diaper change!" Cindy, giggled. Mandy giggled too, and then they both had sex. While they were there on the Kitchen table, naked, nude, and otherwise unclothed, Mandy said "You know what? I think I like diapers and being a baby. From now on, I think I'll wear them forever and ever and ev- WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

And then the world exploded. The End.

Would not any angel give up his bed of dew and shining snow in Heaven to live with her in hell?”.

Tavish McMooch stared out across the wide, brooding glen. His icy stare reaching into the distance, but for what? None shall know but he, and if there ever was an answer, it was lost the moment he returned to this world. Perhaps it was the tower of acrid black smoke emanating from some distant point to the East. McMooch mounted his horse, a strong, black, brooding stallion known to man and horse alike as 'Stallion', and took off like a junkie caught shoplifting out of Primark.

For days he rode, passing village after brooding village, the womenfolk eyeing this tall, brooding stranger with the suspicion McMooch had come to associate with this cursed region. The foul stench of fear was in the air. McMooch knew there was trouble ahead, and that fate had brought him here, just as surely as it would bring him to the grave.

McMooch approached the gates of a strange city, a place the likes of which he had only heard in children's tales; the walls were ersatz and brooding, as was the gatekeeper. Disfigured and hunchbacked was he, a true son of his people. He tied Stallion to a nearby tree, and cautious approached the entrance. McMooch kept a wide berth of the gatekeeper, his hand creeping towards his blade. The hunchback dared not impede him. It pushed open the gate, a contorted grin spreading across his face. McMootch grimaced, and entered the city.

All of a sudden, he found himself ankle deep in all manner of filth. The smell was indescribable. Brooding? Too mild a word. The whole town was as defiant towards the human power of explanation as its odour; children as young as five rutted in piles of matter by the roadside for handfuls of pennies, men simply lay down and waited for death rather than be condemned to the agony of living, McMooch, after three minutes, counted four souls sink beneath the fecal tide, their faces empty and misshapen. The women birthed and consumed their young, in an obscene parody of life itself. The town crier danced a jig atop a pile of corpses, only stopping to empty himself onto the screaming crowd below. McMooch was stunned.

'So this', he murmured, 'is Aberdeen.'
