My goofy 1950s sci-fi movie takeoff "How I Met Your Other" was published by @mythicpicnic.bsky.social and was part of a great group of stories and writers.

The last caretaker of the dead horizon is still waiting for the rain. Eyes full of dust, heart full of secrets.

A surreal and eerie figure sits half-buried in an arid desert wasteland under a sepia-toned sky. This humanoid creature has the oversized, bulbous head of an elderly man with deeply grooved, sagging skin and unnaturally large, glossy black eyes that reflect the sky like glass marbles. Sparse white hair wisps outward from the bald crown, and faint, gooey black strands drip from his sunken facial creases, giving him a decaying, otherworldly look. He wears an old-fashioned brown suit with a frayed ascot and a large buckle hanging from a worn chain. Odd, fungus-like growths and twisted dead twigs emerge from the cracked soil around him, some with strange, cartoonish skull faces embedded. The creature appears to be fused with the landscape itself, as if he’s grown from the dirt or has slowly sunken into it over time. The overall tone is bleak yet oddly whimsical, blending folk horror and dark fantasy with a stylized, painterly aesthetic. The composition draws the viewer’s gaze directly to the haunting, unreadable expression on the figure’s face—part guardian, part ghost, part forgotten relic. Created in REVE using a layered text prompt. The original render upscaled in Lightroom for enhanced resolution and converted to .jpg. The final composition reflects intentional prompt design and refinement. Shared freely for creative enjoyment — not for commercial use.

"My parents were always somewhere else that summer. That Friday they convinced the Boy Scout leader to take me in. He said I could sleep in his bed. In the morning, he woke me with tickles under my arms." @deserthorror mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

We thought it was just a legend. The Demon of the Desert. Until the night the desert burned down. It was its home. Now, it’s moved in with us…

What would you do if you found an abandoned car in the middle of the desert? In 2017, a truck driver's routine haul turns terrifying when he stops to investigate a suspicious vehicle. What he finds in the trunk leads to a deadly encounter. #Trucker #Mojave #DesertHorror

I know you're here because you don't want Twitter, but Mythic Picnic just posted a laugh out loud series of mini-mini stories over there. Mine is called "Buckets!" and I had a ton of fun writing it: x.com/MythicPicnic...
