I figured I'd post up some of my writing since my comic doesn't have a page up yet. The story followed is a departure from my normal writing style. I usually don't write horror, a lot of my story's are more...i unno, fantasy on roid's kind of deal. anyways, enjoy the story

Can you hear me?
by jeff

In a dark room devoid of any light and calming glows sits the man with no ears in his rocking chair. He smiles a crooked gummy smile showing his teeth severely in need of dental work. He glares wide eyed, a glowing stare with his gray eyes, and tenderly fingers his little metal trinket.

I remember once, I met the man with no ears, along with my love of once. We spoke to him, falling on what could essentially be called "deaf ears". We laughed and had a merry time with the man with no ears, and in reality, I was sure he was to, a smile never left my face, nor did his.
My love was different.
When she finally noticed our companion had nothing but blank patches of fetid flesh where he should have developed ears, she stared intently. Soon noticing more and more how she seemed to see him as a monster.
More and more he looked, decrepit, rotting, and evil to her, and finally when he caught her eyes, our merriment ended quickly.

With masterful precision, he pinned her and cut her throat, as she screamed a gurgling scream, I found the smile couldn't leave my face, as much as I tried, my brain wouldn't let me stop. He took the trinket he had opened her throat with and sliced off her ears and left her writhing body on the floor. He pushed past me and to the lone mirror in his room and put my loves ears to the place where his should have been. He groaned a displeased low bone chilling moan and pointed to the door. As I left, I caught a glimpse of him devouring my loves ears.

I learned a very important lesson about the man with no ears that day.

Never let the smile leave your face.

I think "my love" might need another name. It seems a bit strange repeating the same endearment over and over. I liked it other than that.
