Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah. My nightmares have gotten super real. They were generally nonsense when I was a child, though.
However, as an adult?
Wandering down dark corridors with a general, building feeling that I'm being stalked, watched, followed by someone lurking just out of sight in the shadows, tension rising, body tingling, adrenaline spiking, soundless scream, body paralyzed, hissing names hoping someone will hear but no one comes. My flesh melts, my teeth fall out, void fall, abyss calls, never ending, rotten skin, smell of blood, moving slow, can't run.

Fam, this would make an awesome thrash metal song. Maybe you don't have nightmares, it's just a dark muse.
Heh, thanks! I actually really enjoy metal so it's kinda nice to know that I can write sick metal lyrics; just wish I had more music skills though.
You can always just practice a death metal growl. You never know when it might come in handy. My aunt's cat clawed me once and I just said: "Kitten!" in my best death metal growl. It looked at me all shocked and hasn't messed with me since.
