the babysitter lives.

dialogue prompts from the babysitter lives by stephen graham jones.

your house. your paranoid rules.

you learned your lesson?

have you figured out what you're being for halloween?

keep your eyes closed. you can't look.

what kind of game is this?

who rings their own doorbell?

we're not supposed to answer the door.

the polite thing to do would be to back off.

most bullies run when they see you're not going to cringe and cry.

classic non-answer with a side helping of deflection.

i don't want to leave you.

i won't let you hold yourself back because of me.

you've let yourself get spooked.

if it's real to you, then it's real to me.

i know i ruined your life.

where do we go when we leave?

is something wrong with the house?

i'm counting to ten. go.

it wasn't just in my head.

i'm not a hero. just a survivor.

we can find a place to pull over on the way home.

i'm the only one who calls you ___.

this can't be happening. this isn't real.

a mother knows, doesn't she?

it was supposed to be a study session.

when the brain is full, the body must play.

this already happened. but not like this.

are you in my closet again?

you're still there, aren't you?

so, this is death.

i hate my mind sometimes. all the time.

don't open doors you don't need to open.

have a mission, and stick to it.

i wish my mom were here.

you can see me?

i don't walk like that.

i think this house is like a venus flytrap.

you've been waiting all these years?

you can't save me anymore.

don't bleed on the rug.

you're real?

is this even living?

forget that, if you can.

you can't be who you were anymore.

nothing good happens after midnight.

why do you care about me now?

either know, or don't know. don't give other people room to make your decisions for you.

you don't get to be me.

just because i was homeschooled doesn't mean i'm stupid.

never give the enemy a hand.

i won, but i'm still losing.

[rosewon]

gonna try to do a graphics update maybe.

[rosewon]

genuinely if i think too hard about the unspoken solidarity between victors i'll start crying.

[rosewon]

also back to my favorite topic: the victor's meeting should've been like three hours long and there should've been a LOT more screaming.

the hole.

dialogue prompts from the hole by hye-young pyun.

the real fight starts now.

you are clearly not okay.

i didn't know what to ask.

don't feel embarrassed.

recovery takes a long time.

if there's one thing i hate, it's tales of miraculous recoveries.

how does it feel to be home again?

i'm in no shape to comfort anyone.

my father has a lot, but i'm all my mother has.

i don't mean to poke at old wounds.

i want all the gory details.

i was trying to figure out how to apologize.

you'd abandon your family to ensure your own success.

assholes like you always succeed.

you can't represent the world through maps alone.

at least maps improve with failure.

your forties are well-suited to all manner of sin.

i stopped growing a long time ago.

you know better than anyone what a hack i am.

climbing plants give me the creeps.

you'll never guess who's come to visit.

you always imagine the worst possible circumstances for yourself.

not even you could have guessed.

he's come to pray for you.

i'm sorry i drank it all.

i thought i would feel free, but i don't.

who is this?

i feel removed from the entire world.

only someone like jesus christ himself could do your job.

i'll stay with you, for the time being.

your pledges and promises are useless.

you can't choose cynicism over grief.

you're making me extremely uncomfortable.

were you cussing?

you look good.

do you like being back home?

you look just as tired as me.

there are sides of you that only family can see.

it's like being born all over again.

i wanted you to be surprised.

i've become a laughingstock.

not everyone could do what you did.

misery does love company.

once you experience loss, you find it has a good side.

a dead husband is so much better than a cheating husband.

raised with so much love and care, only to die for no reason.

you act like i'm not even here.

leaning on someone leads to hugging.

when you get old, you don't hold back. you stop watching what you say.

my world was the only one that collapsed.

i'm always thinking about you.

i didn't know you worried about me.

there are things i can only bear because of you.

you can't stay in the house forever.
