Behind the scenes: Short stories from the depths of hell

Night of The Living Gas Station: Writer's Cut

June 2021-November 2021

Inspired events:

-One of the students in my class and my sister helped create the idea, we used the gas station because there is usually a gas station in almost every sort of media that contains zombies

Unused events in the story:

-Murphy refuses to pay for gas

-Portunus says watch out

-Murphy goes and lets the gas fill up and takes a smoke

-The pump sprays oil at him and more station equipment starts moving

-The door cuts him in half as he screams painfully

Origin of Murphy:

-I needed a character for this story so I created Murphy

-Then I made them a demon because lol

Origin of Portunus:

-Portunus was going to be nagito komaeda ew cringe

-His personality is sorta kinda like a mix of Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa, Saeran from Mystic Messenger and Sou/Midori from Your Turn To Die

-He was not part of a cult at first, just a loner, kinda like Sou from Your Turn To Die

Origin of Patrick

-Patrick was rebranded as an OC by Tornadoepup

-But in reality he was a save file for a Pokemon Ultra Moon game that we got from EBay

-He had a Primarina named Bubbles and he was stuck at the Ghost Trial. He also had a water spider named Vhah I guess

-Patrick would've been in a Pokemon story and would be the Champion of Galar

-Tornadoepup allowed me to use him in the stories+future content

Book development:

No hiccups along the way, the writing started in September/October 2021 and the editing in October 2021
