[WP] Write the 'thoughts' of a dead person who realises that no one is attending their funeral. | I was right. Nobody cared. Nobody *cares*... It's truly amazing that I chose to depart the physical world in order to escape the emotional pressures experienced during life, but here I am, the only attendant at my own damn funeral, feeling sorrier for myself than I ever did while I was alive. I can't even explain why I... | 3 | 0 | 2 | 10,572 |
[WP] A man somehow gets high off sadness, but starts to build a tolerance to sad scenarios. | Kids bullied me when I was younger. When I went to school, they made fun of me since I wasn't tall, or strong, or fast. They taunted me, endlessly.
And I loved it.
I never told anyone, but when I felt sad, and down in the dumps, I started to feel *alive*. It was beyond anything I could ever feel naturally. I started ... | 39 | 0 | 44 | 10,573 |

[WP] A man somehow gets high off sadness, but starts to build a tolerance to sad scenarios. | It seemed so innocent when it started. Watch a few sad movies here and there, find a few good dramas on daytime television. No harm in that. No one's hurt. In fact, it's just like being a social smoker. You have some while you drink, but can put it down at any time. No big deal.
Then just watching a movie wasn't ... | 25 | 0 | 44 | 10,575 |

We used to be one, her and I. Then, she started splitting her time with me and someone else. Eventually, that man consumed all of her time, and I was left there with none of her time.

[WP] A man somehow gets high off sadness, but starts to build a tolerance to sad scenarios. | I've always felt better in a sad moment, sad for others that is, makes me feel right.
I believe it started when I was young, dad would beat mom, mom would cry, dad would take me get a new toy so I wouldn't tell anyone. I would get good feeling hearing others in pain, suffering, and it was good.

[WP] A man somehow gets high off sadness, but starts to build a tolerance to sad scenarios. | It all started with the family dog.
Yes, I’d had pets before – the four empty fishbowls lining the basement stairs were a testament to that – but none that I’d adored as much as Buster. I knew we were going to be inseparable from the beginning; that collie’s boundless enthusiasm for life was infectious. The bookworm... | 3 | 0 | 44 | 10,582 |
[WP] A man somehow gets high off sadness, but starts to build a tolerance to sad scenarios. | I remember the first time the sight of another person's tears excited me. I was 8 years old, and my father was leaving my mother for another woman. I watched through a crack in the living room door as he berated her, telling her it was her own fault. She'd failed to lose the baby weight, she was no longer attractive, s... | 7 | 0 | 44 | 10,583 |

It flowed over him like a warm rush that bloomed out from somewhere deep inside. He wasn't expecting it. In retrospect, that was probably one of the reasons that it felt so good.
As quickly as it came, it was gone again leaving him feeling empty.

[WP] A man somehow gets high off sadness, but starts to build a tolerance to sad scenarios. | There’s nothing quite like seeing a man starve to death. His breathing was so slow that only the closest inspection revealed that he breathed at all. Eyes closed, not twitching as if in sleep, but closed as if to spare the energy needed to process light. His clothes hung off his frail little body like a towel on a dryi... | 3 | 0 | 44 | 10,585 |

Looking down at the girl,he could see why she would want to kill herself. Plain looking, small breasts, and a rat... | 1 | 0 | 44 | 10,588 |

[WP] Insanity is a virus. | It's been forty-five days since I left the hospital and I'm still on the move, but I honestly don't know how much longer I can continue on.
