Weirdest Scene You've Written (or Why I Need A Counselor)

[Project nachonaco]

What's the weirdest scene you've ever written?

In one of mine, Character A beats Character B to death with B's prosthetic leg.

[scarletpeaches]

I once had someone kill a man with a rolling pin. Then I changed it to slashing his stomach with her shapeshifter claws and his guts flolloping out onto the floor. Far more realistic, I'm sure you'll agree.

And just as sexy...

[Thump]

Obviously not mine, but I think "house drops on witch" is counseling worthy :P

Mine involves skinning alive. 'Nuff said.

[PeeDee]

Still, hands down, would be the babies, 1 year old and under, crawling across two cops and eating them alive (with their sharp teeth...because they were obviously not natural babies, duh...)

[scarletpeaches]

Thanks for mentioning that, JUST as I'd forgotten the last time you brought them up...

[PeeDee]

I keep having reasons to bring it up! Which is weird, since the novel its in is trunked for now.

The onion-eyed girl under the bed who is drowning is pretty freaky too, but not like the babies.

[ChaosTitan]

So many choices....

I think I've narrowed it down to the climax of one novel. The heroine just found out that the man she grew up with and thinks of as a brother is truly psychotic. He has betrayed her family and murdered one of her friends. During a tussle, he gets a hard-on while slowly strangling her to death.

[sneakers145]

I once had a serial killer who thought he was Jesus reincarnated...yeah, he was pretty warped...

[maestrowork]

A man tortured and eaten by a giant frog.

[JoNightshade]

I had a vengeful ghost who could only control objects that he'd had some emotional connection with in real life. So he had a pair of sneakers and a silver spoon. He kills a guy with the spoon.

[Stormhawk]

I had a fantasy world dissolve in on itself, during which a phoenix chewed its way out of a dead unicorn's stomach.

[Raiyah]

when character B fell in love with character C, who was once married to her mother.


Weird I tell you. And it wasn't in the outline. Either I need therapy or character B.

[Azraelsbane]

I have a chapter that takes place inside a character's mind. The two chars in the chapter are mentally linked, as the MC is a master of psionics. There's blood that rains down and creates a deep lake, barracuda-like fish that bleed souls, the Garden of Eden erected in colored glass that explodes at the slightest touch, and a few other oddities. It was tough to write, I can tell you that much. :) Definitely up there on my weird scale.

[OctoberRain]

My main character's husband tore apart her three-month old kitten, looking for a pendant he was sure it swallowed.

He didn't find it.

[Voyager]

By far, the eye gouging (as in completely out) as foreplay on the wedding night was my all time high/low?

[sneakers145]

My main character's husband tore apart her three-month old kitten, looking for a pendant was sure it swallowed.

He didn't find it.

Uh, couldn't he have taken it to the vet to have it x-rayed? Or waited a few days to see if it would poop it out?? Killing the cat seems extreme.

Okay, you're warped...

[Shadow_Ferret]

I had a character describe how he saw a demon turn a man inside out and then eat his intestines like he was sucking in strands of spaghetti.

[OctoberRain]

Uh, couldn't he have taken it to the vet to have it x-rayed? Or waited a few days to see if it would poop it out?? Killing the cat seems extreme.

Okay, you're warped...

LOL, I don't disagree with you. But I write horror and the husband is possessed. Him taking it to the vet didn't quite fit.

I have two cats myself and writing this scene was really hard.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Ooooookay. After reading the first 18 posts, I see I got nuthin'.

[sneakers145]

Ah, possessed. Poor kitty. :(

[OverTheHills&FarAway]

Let's see...I had a guy carve a complicated pattern into the flesh of his arm with a knife, because he didn't have a needle to make a tattoo and this was the next-best thing, apparently?

[Siddow]

I had someone give birth to a skinless baby. And then she breast-fed it.

[Thump]

I ain't reading your book then >___<

[Summonere]

The Beast of Shattered Dreams was a big wiggling thing like a vast organ living beneath a decayed city, nightly digesting the dreams of stolen children, delivering in sleep renewed hope to the wearied citizens above whose every dashed desire and ruined ambition had, for decades, dribbled down and accreted into this massive, grasping, gasping thing.

Guy who found it while searching for a lost and dreaming child could not imagine its size, or that by devouring the dreams of innocence it sustained the city life above it, and ameliorated its deepest sins.

It was the cruelest of symbionts, and has proven a hard, hard sell.

Praised by editors who have rejected it, this story sits in a basket of broken Easter eggs.

[NicoleMD]

I only get to pick one?

While writing a hot 'n steamy scene involving my MC's June Cleaveresque mother and his best friend, I used a recipe for lemon meringue pie and dared myself to incorperate as many of the words from the recipe into the scene as I could. I think I managed to incorperate about 30 or so of them. Including meringue.

[JohnDavidPaxton]

I was once paid to write a first person perspective story of a man beating his wife and what was going in his head at the time.

Took a lot of forced detachment.

[jenstrikesagain]

God, I feel so normal now.

I once had Character A holding Character B hostage by threatening to flush the last of his drug stash down the commode. It was a very serious scene, and I kept cracking myself up because the setup was so ludicrous. I think I pulled it off, though. We shall see.

[Sage]

I don't know about weirdest... maybe.

My MC's dead brother trying to seduce & force himself on her is definitely the one I am in most need of a counselor for.

[pepperlandgirl]

Character A and B are in the shower together. Character A is washing Character B's stomach, which is literally covered in horrendous scars from when another character flayed him open with a whip. Suddenly, Character A hears the door unlock, and in walks Character C.

Character C is Character A's old lover. Character C has also been dead for 44 years at this point. Character C is a normal human, not a vampire (like Character A). Character A is surprised because he didn't realize C had a key.

I know it's not blood or guts, but you know, it was a major mindfuck while we were writing it.

[RedScylla]

One in which my lonely, middle-aged protagonist goes shopping for a dildo. After buying it, she feels so stupid, because when given the choice of all the possible penises in the world, she essentially buys her ex-husband's model.

[wayndom]

A hired killer Tases his victim in the victim's apartment, puts a pillowcase over v's head, then hammers him with a ball-peen hammer, and reflects on how odd it is that he couldn't do it without the pillowcase, but with the pillowcase covering the victim's head, it stimulates him to orgasm.

And by the way, I don't need counseling. The killer in my story would, if he didn't get offed in the next scene...

Sounds like it's the only part of him she misses...

[Danger Jane]

One of my MCs chops up her brother and throws him off a boat. What a screwup she is, huh?

[WriterX]

I have to say, before I read this thread I thought I had a twisted imagination. I bow to you all!

I'm glad I didn't read this before I went to bed.

[jdparadise]

In my short "Freeing Teresa," a man is driven to his knees before (what he assumes to be) Death when Death's cloak billows out to show a constellation of thousands and millions of suns... each of which, it becomes clear, is a person eternally burning. (the line "his terrible coat of screams" sticks with me...)

[Nakhlasmoke]

Wow, there are some lovely warped images in this thread. the skinless baby...ew. i loved it. (so who needs the counselling, eh?)

I cannot add to this disturbingness. Although I tend to have incest and sacrificial mutilation crop up quite often, for some odd reason. And clockwork birds, especially ibises. Those damn hadedas are going to be my Ballardesque empty swimming pools, I can just tell.

[Wraith]

I'm glad I didn't read this before I went to bed.
I did. :D
But I love this thread. Can't think of anything that measures up to it though!

[underthecity]

I have one very weird scene, and one just weird scene:

The MC hates his sister-in-law. MC is having periodic erectile dysfunction throughout the story. In one scene, both are possessed by the ghosts of inhabitants of the house from 1924. These ghosts, who were lovers during life and who now completely possess MC and SIL, run upstairs to have sex. (MAJOR PLOT POINT ALERT:) The sex doesn't happen because he is unable to perform.

But it sure looks like they're going to.


In another scene, a drink is taken from a whiskey barrel (SPOILER ALERT!) which has had a body soaking in it for eighty-three years (SUPPOSED TO BE HUGE SURPRISE). The character dies from alcohol poisoning. This happens right before the climax. (MORE SPOILERS!) The character comes back to life with supernatural help.

Are those weird enough?

[Danger Jane]

I did. :D

Yea so did I....and I wasn't gonna post because I didn't think mine was weird/horrific enough...

[leenakincaid]

I've always known my "wierdest scene" was innocent! But it is my darkest scene! It is a lover's quarrel. English teacher and student have sex when student was fifteen. Teacher leaves for three years. Teacher comes back, begins stalking student. Cumulates into the teacher's death. He tried to shove her out the window, but she clung onto him so they both shattered the glass and fell. She survived; he didn't. Like I said, I'm so innocent!

[Ava Jarvis]

I'm glad I came across this thread, because it makes my novel look way less weird, in comparison to skinless babies, several instances of cannibalism, and lemon meringue fetish sex.

My main character has a fictional character stuck in his head. That's pretty much run-of-the-mill.... but makes many scenes difficult to write. Well, all scenes, actually.

[sunandshadow]

I had one hermaphrodite dragon-person lay an egg into another one. Oh and skin color as a sexually transmitted disease only 'bottoms' can catch from 'tops'.

[batgirl]

One of my MCs chops up her brother and throws him off a boat. What a screwup she is, huh?
To delay her father while she and the hero escape? I love classical references.

I was thinking I hadn't written any particularly weird scenes, but maybe the one where the scalded-to-death queen comes back by night to breastfeed her infant son. It freaks out the wetnurse, anyways.
-Barbara

[Wraith]

I did think of one after all, though it's not as extreme as those above :D It involves a talking severed head, which is continually bleeding, never rots (but still looks creepy), and it gives its murderer away (who is her husband, but that's another joyful scene :D).

[ishtar'sgate]

Weirdest scene, eh? It has to be the scene from my novel where the truly rotten priest is dying of the plague, falls into the plague pit and in his delirium sees himself heading to heaven only to find out he's not going there at all. Too late, though. The scene was based on a dream I had after watching a program on near death experiences.
Linnea

[LilliCray]

My weirdest scene is tame. :D

Uhh...

I think it's the one where...

Oh, yeah, I remember now. Sorry-mindblank.

My heroine is chained by the wrists to a support post in a guy's basement (the house is actually across the street and one door down from her own house), when suddenly (gaspeth!) the lights go out. A few seconds later, there's a thump and a light starts shining-beyond where the wall was half a minute ago. Then a demonic thing scampers up her arm and latches on to her wrist. Then the kidnapper villain thing comes with a light, when she actually can see the thing.

But I haven't finished writing it yet, so I don't know what happens next. Boo. :(

[draganie]

So, by reading the posts in this thread, I'm assuming by 'weird' you mean 'dark and twisted'. Just saying, 'cause I came here expecting things similar to Alice in Wonderland.

Most twisted... Well, I have a lot of twisted events that happen in my series, but I guess one of my favorites would be when Character A walks in on Character B while he's dissecting himself. He's got all his organs carefully spread out everywhere and is basically making diagrams of them.

[laurel29]

The strangest scene I ever wrote was probably the torture and crucifixion of a care-bear-like creature by an adorable, but insane child.
Granted, I wrote that scene when I was an angry fifteen year old so it was really, really stupid as well as being twisted.

Weirdest thing recently was a scene with two of my boys (who are trying to get back from the other side of Aunt Millie's cafe - aka the land of the dead) who run into a soldier who is patiently waiting for his talking crow friend to finish bringing back the pieces of his body so he can rejoin the battle... the crow has to find all the little bits and pieces and bring them back so it takes a really long time (plus he isn't highly motivated since his buddy keeps getting blown up again - this is supposedly the 33rd time). When the boys are talking to him he is about half-way back together again and they are trying not to stare at his guts... that would just be rude. The flatworm falling out just about makes Jake vomit though.

[michelle-a-go-go]

Character A got his toe stuck up the nostril of Character B's nose. It was awkward for all of us.

[Summonere]

Say, I really like this.

[C.bronco]

Geez, after reading these, I seem like a little tame!

I don't know if it's the weirdest, but the mc has a dream where he really has to go to the bathroom, but in the enormous, stadium seating public restroom, all the urinals are broken (except the one in the corner, but Ben Franklin grabs it before he can).

Awesome.

[Twizzle]

mine's nowhere near dark and twisted. it just sounds really weird when taken out of context.

my 2 mcs get stuck taking Stephen King (who's an elderly tobacco farmer in Waterproof, LA) and his pet chicken along with them to Las Vegas. King always takes his chicken with him to Vegas cause he claims the chicken is into showgirls.

so.

[BarbJ]

A man tortured and eaten by a giant frog.

These are all completely insane, but I think Maestrowork wins. Eaten by a giant frog, heh, but tortured?

My weird is relatively tame compared to this very bizarre list. My MC complains she doesn't like someone because he keeps throwing dead bodies at her, literally.

[Jack Nog]

Sex scene with a swamp witch...including algae, creepy crawly things all in between the sex stuff.

I haven't written a sex scene since and took the high road and alluded to sex. Much easier.

[Southern_girl29]

Not twisted and dark, but weird for me.

My MC is a psychic who is learning to control her psychic visions. Her father, who is the one teaching her, says for her to imagine herself walking down a corridor. While she is walking down the corridor, she sees photos on the wall of dead girls. The dead girls sit up and reach them arms through the photographs. Then, letters float up over their heads to spell their names.

[maxmordon]

Boy goes to the barn and sees the naked ghost of his mother. She has an asparagus as nose, he bites it, she gets horny and an asparagus now grows where his nose used to be

[Andre_Laurent]

Vampire digs up the body of his rival, a warlock, to see if he was really dead. He wasn't. Neither were the coffin flies crawling around on him.

Then there's the ms with incest and dead rabbits.

[Haphazard]

I'd have to say the entirety of "Do Hangmen Dream of Dangling Sheep?"

My second nanowrimo.

Lots and lots of dead bodies.

ETA: In fact, most of my third NaNo, too. Not in that anything particularly sick and twisted happened, but all of my ranting that I used to boost wordcount is pretty screwed up. That's probably more directly why I need a therapist rather than anything disturbing my subconscious drags to the surface.

[CACTUSWENDY]

Hey OFG....after 60 posts......I got nothing..........................I mean....NOTHING.

[Ardellis]

Nothing here, either. Finding out your landlord's a vampire just doesn't compare, does it?
