A horror story that starts out as a parodic Trollpasta, and involves a Nightmare Fetishist, Bobby, hearing ominous, continuous laughter everywhere, including "bloody hyper-realistic videogame RO Ms" that he owns, noting that the laughter is hyper-realistic even for the ROMs, and decides to try to find the source of laughter. It is at this point that the story becomes terrifying, using Fridge Horror of all sorts, Nothing Is Scarier and I Must Scream to a high effect.
This story also heavily deconstructs the characters of Jeff the Killer and the Rake. Bobby shares a house with the Killer, a semi-sentient, semi-humanoid figure living in the basement of Bobby's house. A young boy who was Raised by Wolves for 3 years and adopted into an abusive family, he would eventually escape by burning his eyelids and stabbing his parents, but he would eventually go blind and, without having human social skills or understanding of human society, would kill and eat people before being adopted into Bobby's family. Bobby's family, not knowing the Killer, had to cover up for his murders as the Killer inhabited their basement and went out on a killing spree during the night, and they eventually went from uncaring to abusive. Bobby, who also did not know about the Killer and was haunted by nightmares and surrounded by creepy toys, did not realize that the Killer killed his parents due to thinking that Bobby was just like him, and instead thought that his nightmares protected him, thus solidifying him later as a Nightmare Fetishist, who, just like the Killer, has very few social skills; however, the Killer also acts out not of bloodlust of a killer, but out of self-defense and instincts. Later, unable to sustain himself due to blindness and ailing health, he dies, and the murders are pinned on Bobby.

From Mercury to Pluto, for Plutonians a Chunk of Sun
I am the most suitable partner for Gaia. I have some bad news. You will not make it to Eden. This is the end of your journey.A comedy reimagine the solar system with the planet as a dysfunctional group within an apartment building. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the ones with the least amount of money and forced to stay near the hot-headed land lord Sun. Venus is the hotheaded one that constantly butthead with her landlord (highest temperature in the Solar System). Earth is the Only Sane Man (only planet can sustain life). Mars is the Not So Above It All resident (has very close atmosphere as Earth). Mercury is the one with the unstable mood and is in a toxic relationship with Sun (unstable surface temperature, near to the Sun). The other four (Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn) had slightly more money and managed to move far away from Sun. Jupiter is The Big Guy but with a soft center (largest gas planet in mass of the solar system). Saturn is a Gold Digger obsessed about staying thin and marrying a rich guy to move out of her crappy apartment (the only planet less dense than water and the famous Saturn Ring). Uranus is a gay owner of an AC company who is going through some tough time and in a dysfunctional relationship with his Armored Closet Gay boyfriend Umbriel (surface covered by ice and its... unfortunate name). Neptune is Uranus's lived-in sister who is a college art major student disappointed that her work didn't get recognized so has to work double-shift to sustain herself while working furiously to create the "Artwork of the Century" and won't take kindly to anyone insulting her work, which her brother - who she thinks is pathetic for having a relationship with Umbriel, unfortunately does often (identical to Uranus but has much more internal heat, discovered by calculation rather than actually observing).
The story open with Mercury having an affair with Pluto - a former resident who managed to move out the apartment, along with Ceres, Haumea, Makemake and Eris, while discussing about how to kill Sun and obtain the right to the apartment.
