Today I have selected a little thing I did a while back to share with everyone, Cats of Ulthar a horror story by H. P. Lovecraft. It might look a little weird because I adapted it from an accordion book format, but I think I did a decent job of adapting it.
And also, remember my last mega? Well, I did manage to finish the book, so I'm putting it here for you to download. I made a version for reading digitally, but the main purpose would be for printing, that's why I stuck with A4 size. I can try to make instructions on how to make the printed pages into a neat book in the future if anyone wants it.
Well, if anyone has any suggestions on other short stories, specially horror stories, I'd love to make them into illustrated books, I love doing this and it's super fun for me, so I'd like to keep going.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Nostalgia bait gets to me real bad
Why am I an adult with a shitty job instead of a child playing Minecraft at my friend's house. I'd give anything to go back.
Personally, I hated being a kid. I liked my independence and freedom I got at 18, but I was much happier after transitioning in my mid 20s. I dont think Id wanna go back to anywhere before cracking my egg, it was a very cursed time for me.
Yeah, I got beaten and screamed at a lot (both my parents, and other classmates). I don't have any positive memories of childhood except being friends with this one cool friend group for like, 2 years before I had to move away.
I didn't have any dysphoria pre puberty. I was less alone back then. I felt connected to my family.
I haven't gotten independence or freedom yet. I'm broke and depressed and have hardly been able to do anything in years. Life fell off a cliff when I started feeling dysphoric
I wonder if I'm so pro-public transportation because my favorite part of the school day was the long rural bus rides to and from school. My friends and I would hang out in the hang spot on the back of the bus and shoot the shit for the 30-40 minutes it took to get to and from school. Best way to start the day, best way to end it. Maybe someone would get off at my stop and we'd play Smash.
As an adult I'm just alone in my car.
Nostalgia bait is even worse when its for childhood memories you didn't have :)
I wish I could have experienced girlhood but I'm much more heartbroken about womanhood :/
I'M DOOMSCROLLING TO TURN MY MIND OFF GOD DAMN IT

I want to go back when I was happy. Before puberty.I don't even have a future to look forward to. All I want is to be a fucking normal woman, something half the population gets, but nooo I can't. I don't have it in me. I'm a third weird thing.
Most of the women in my life are straight with kids. Why can't that be me. I don't want kids. I'm not straight. I don't look or sound anything like them. I'm a mentally destroyed blob. I'm nothing. Some stupid fucking blob of cells didn't develop right and now here I am
