Exclamation Guts- A Story From Haunted - 06-08-2010, 06:13 AM

Chuck Palahniuk is one of my three favorite authors of all time (for various reasons). This following story sent droves of people to the hospital after fainting from having Mr. Palahniuk read it in public. I've seen my suite-mates gag after telling them to read it out loud for my own sick amusement. Since it's a story from one of my favorite books I thought I'd share the love!

Read at your own risk (helps if you haven't eaten anything in the past hour or two).

"This story should last about as long as you can hold your breath, and then just a little bit longer. So listen as fast as you can."

How long can you hold your breath for?

it was an odd read but its just that. text. I agree mono-chrome.
visual is so much more effective, unless you have a really, really good imagination.

If you actually want some sort of effect, I suggest reading out loud, or having someone else read it out loud.
I'm glad this particular story is "just" text. But reportedly, in order to get stories for Haunted, Palahniuk sat in on sex addicts anonymous meetings and this story is based on one of the addict's stories.

It was a solid piece of writing, I've always liked his works. My favorite will always be The Perks of Being a Wallflower though


Thanks Weika and Drah for the awesome sigs
