    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.”

        you know, in a day and age where it’s wearisome to accuse one’s neighbours, i still find it surprisingly easy to tell my friends you’re a scoundrel.

          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.

        Another debunk: human skin wallpaper would be irregularly shaped, so it wouldn’t have “corners” to write names and dates under. Also, it would be a lot more than one victim per wall. Also also, I’m pretty sure it would look profoundly weird and not like normal wallpaper at all.

        Nice foreshadowing with the bit about peeling a sunburn, though.

            It would look like leather, except that cowhides are big enough to cut into reasonably large rectangular panels and human skins aren’t.

            (On a related note, one way you can tell a leather sofa is high-quality is by checking the back: if it’s made of several stitched-together strips, that’s good. If it’s one big piece, they cheaped out and used vinyl 'cause cows aren’t that big.)

        If you already have some spare skin you can at least use it for somethimg. You wouldn’t eat that anyway, and mom will be happy for you remodeled the kitchen!

    Two courses of action.

    1. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. Then you let the Ramirez outside in and do the same. You proceed trying to figure out what’s going on. Who is the real one? Problem with this scenario is now you 100% have the fake one inside with you.

    2. You detain and tie up the Ramirez already inside, just in case. You leave the one outside to die. Unethical, but now there’s only a 50/50 chance the one inside with you is the fake one.

    Alternate option if you’re feeling really unethical is you just instantly kill the one already inside and also leave the one outside to die. Technically the safest option.

    Lock one in the airlock, and confine the already-in one to quarters. If Outside Ramirez is bad but can’t defeat the module’s external shielding, this isn’t a good plan. This has the downside of bringing Bad Ramirez to Earth but the upside of not forcing Either Ramirezs, good or bad, to fight for their life. Anyway, fucking love this. Thanks for reminding me of the horror of a Second Ramirez.

    This is referenced in Warframe in a couple of ways at different points in the game. For example: You have a kinda schizophrenic ship AI, and while you’re floating in space he says this sometimes:

    “KNOCK KNOCK! …Now who would be knocking all the way out here?! Operator, I don’t think you should answer that.” (Here’s a clip: https://youtu.be/ilHi4LeKZmM)

    I’ll not mention the others since I’d say they’re spoilers.

    I’d get the rest of the crew near or in the module and discuss the next course of action.

    “Ramirezes, quick, what’s something only we would know?” I asked sobbing, sweating, with a gun pointed at indoor Ramirez’s head.
