We bought this run-down house, my boyfriend and I. While he started working on converting the kitchen into the main bedroom, I insisted on removing the old wallpaper. The previous owner papered every wall and ceiling in the house! It’s a lot of work to remove, but it feels so good to get rid of it. The best feeling is getting a long peel, like when your skin peels after a bad sunburn. I turned it into a game, on the hunt to rip the longest piece possible.

I noticed there was a person’s name and date under a corner section of paper in every room. I couldn’t help but investigate and Googled those names. What I discovered left me speechless. The names all belonged to missing people, and the dates matched the day of their disappearance! We notified the police, who sent the crime scene team. I overheard one of them say, “Yeah, it’s human.” Wait, what’s human? “Ma’am, where is all the material you removed? This isn’t wallpaper.”

If you have not read it, I recommend you this short comic: https://emcarroll.com/comics/faceallred/01.html

This one is also very good.

Get the short stories from Stephen King, I like "Everything is eventual" particularly "The Man in the Black Suit" , I have kids now so I think about this one pretty often. Also the "1408" short story is there.

E.M. Carroll has some other comics but I haven't read them yet.

And switching things a little bit, play "Fear amd Hunger" or watch Worm Girl narrating it. Really dread-y

That's all I remember for now.
