Many things don't automatically frighten me, but that moment of contemplation, fff k k k.

And both of them know it, the person it's happening to and the person who's watching and can't stop it, and the reader too is trapped witnessing: so we can dream of it now. (Poetry as contagious haunting.)

It's why the only Fear from The Magnus Archives that really gets to me is the Buried.

I still don't know The Magnus Archives, but I can imagine how that one works.

It must have been written as some sort of warning, though it was just sitting there near the front of some anthology I read sometime, waiting to scar me for life. It's a series of POV experiences of horrible death via poor safety standards.

That sounds scarifying! Was it about some famous historical disaster, or just the written equivalent of a public information film?

P.S. *hugs*
