I accidentally wrote a story that was similar:

A man lives alone in his apartment. He needs to return to the office for the first time in months. He arrives at the office, and quickly develops excruciating back pain. A few days pass, and he finds himself unable to work. He also starts finding strange bite marks on his neck and back.

He calls out for a few days, but eventually, he has to go back. He arrives at work and sits in his chair. He quickly feels his back pain return, but also strange movements from his chair. He stands and screams, tossing the chair. The office staff are in shock. He then uses a pen knife to cut open the back of his chair. As he does, there are multiple screams, as a large, spine-like centipede emerges from the chair.

I even did the rough draft for the comic, but never finished. Damn I need to.

Yes you do. And then you need to keep it far the fuck away from me.

I'd never heard of them, but I'm definitely checking them out. That's "The Feather Pillow", in english right, by Horacio Quiroga?

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
