Re-App samples!

Third Person Sample:

There's something to be said for being in a place without ghosts. It's forced Norman to open up more than he ever did back in Blithe Hollow. Back home he was The Freak, it was kind of his thing. It wasn't a fun thing but he knew where he fit into the world. Even when living people didn't want to talk to him because he make them uncomfortable there were always ghosts to talk to. Frankie the Greaser, Amelie the Pilot, his Grandma or even some of the less fortunate roadkill animal ghosts were all there to talk to.

In Wonderland it's all topsy turvy. He's figured out from asking and reading that people who die... they don't stay dead. And no one really thinks he's all that weird, not really. He might be able to see ghosts but there are people who can do things that are a lot flashier than that. The anxiety of wondering what someone might think of him still lurks but lately it hasn't felt like something that makes him want to hide. If someone is mean he doesn't have to keep talking to them, it isn't like he has to go to class and sit in the same room with anyone who doesn't like him.

In a way it's kind of freeing.

The only problem is that the freedom comes with a lot of loneliness. He misses his mom and grandma a lot, he even kind of misses his dad and Courtney more than he expected. They never really understood him but they were his family. He hasn't had his mom's cooking in two months and he misses it more than he ever expected. He even kind of misses going to school even though he dreaded it when he was there. So instead he goes to the library and tries to find stuff to do. And in the mean time he has a lot of time to think about how to help Agatha. There has to be some answer to helping her rest in Wonderland, otherwise what's the point?


First-Person Sample:

[ Norman turns on the camera, once again sitting with his knees up to his chest. At least this time he isn't giving an up close view of his nostrils. ]

Um, hi... I guess? I was thinking a lot about this place and how it gives us things when we ask the closets. Back home I used to watch a lot of zombie movies. Not the scary ones, though. Just the really cheesy ones. [ His expression drops for a moment and he mumbles ] My mom didn't really like the really scary ones...

[ He shakes off the mood, not wanting to get sidetracked. ]

I was just wondering if anyone would wanna watch some of those movies. Like a marathon with just cheesy monster movies. I thought it might be fun.
