My friend PrinnyDood has written a couple of delightful Halloween-themed stories as of lately, and I hope you will follow the link to his page and read them (they are fantastic^^).
I guess this will be my Halloween picture for 2024, and it is an illustrated "Cover page" for "Halloween at the Launderette"
Here is a teaser, please follow the link at the bottom to read the entire story and see how it ends (And as always, reviews are always welcome).
Teaser.........................................
Allina stood abruptly, filled with the sudden desire to escape the launderette at once. But . . . all her clothes were still there, and she didn't want to leave them unattended. Surely it was nothing. The redhead would return from some corner any second.
Holding her breath, Allina waited, heart in her throat. The redhead didn't return. No movement or sounds anywhere, except from the handful of droning washers.
Heart racing, she was torn between the impulse to escape, and the need to look around until she found the redhead and assuaged her irrational fears. And what if the redhead had had some kind of heart attack or seizure? She could need swift medical attention.
Having convinced herself, Allina walked quietly over to were she had last seen the woman, overturned laundry basked still unattended. Allina peeked around the corner of the nearest isle timidly, unsure what she expected to see.
Empty. No sign of the redhead, except . . . on the otherwise clean floor, was a small pile of wet clothing. Walking over, Allina observed a pool of clear slime surrounding the garments. A lacy black bra and panties were on top, elastic bands torn, while the crumpled pair of shorts underneath were unmistakably part of the red devil costume the redhead had been wearing.
For a heart-stopping moment, Allina struggled to make any sense of what was in front of her. But the disturbing implications soon started to come through, and she suddenly discovered she cared very little about the clothes in the machine, on the grand scheme of things.
Allina turned to escape the launderette post-hast, shoes clacking loudly on the floor as she hurried toward the exit. When she was about halfway there, she glimpsed something in the corner of her eye – a huge shape lurking in the dimness between one of the isles just ahead. She skidded to a halt, but the shape didn't emerge, instead retreating from sight.

Hehe, thanks. Being on your smartphone and unaware of your surroundings might be considered a hazardous activity on Halloween ;P

Nice job illustraiting the story!
I love the one worm glancing over at Allina curious about how she's not at all phased by the chaos occurring around her XD

Thanks, I added that worm when most was finished. I felt it lacked the creepy feeling when you think there’s something watching you from behind, that and the empty space there.

Oh damn, this is glorious! Love your depiction of the worms, and Allina's distracted/worried expression is perfect! Love the sexy kicking legs & suggestive bulge, too!
(And I definitely didn't miss the name on the glass, even if it's mirrored from this perspective. xD)
Thanks for doing this illustration, you've totally made my day with this one!

Thank you, I’m glad to hear you like it. I was unsure about the yellow dotts on the alien worms’ undervekt, and they could probably been better. Alina was fun to draw, it is rare I got a future victim who in my pictures, still is unaware of the pred. Kicking legs are a must in the illustrate stories I make for you, they are always in your descriptions^^
Yes, you are now the happy owner of a creepy launderette, you better take care if your customers, Prinny!

Thanks, the story was great and I felt an immediate urge to make something more out of it after reading. Though, for the victims, I think the worms do the very exact opposite of living things up XD
