I'm not entirely sure what being able to recreate a serial killer's mentality without extensive research says about my personality, but I'll take what I can get. I did do some research into the blue whale game though, mainly through some newstories and the wiki, so I tried to have it mirror the real thing as much as possible. (IE, according to the wiki Phillip Budeikin is the name of the person who claims to have created the game) I woke to a news articles on a blue whale victim the day after the 2nd prompt was released, and I sort of noticed that it fit all of the requirements if I told a story from the admin's view. (The girl in the story drew blue whale pictures like Jane did) Originally I was thinking of switching to the victim's parent's view right at end. They'd have dreamed everything about the game and woken up to check on their kid. Wasn't sure if I wanted to find out and save the kid (cause obviously their dream had reflected reality) or if they would wake up to find them missing/committed suicide due to the game. Just in case, you know, you needed an even more morbid ending.

As for "Them," unfortunately it's not the one with the ants. It's actually a horror movie that was originally french. (It had a different name in French but I went with the English version)
Usually I really enjoy psychological and cosmic horror... Especially horror podcasts. ESPECIALLY the mind-screwy ones.
Murder, gore, and body horror I'm okay with, oddly enough. I was the only person in my English class not grossed out by body horror when we watched District Nine.
