What is the premise of 'Some Body to Love'?
No. This is Creepy. A podcast dedicated to sharing the most famous, chilling, and disturbing creepypastas and urban legends in the world. Whether these stories truly happened or are simply fabrications is for you to decide. These stories may contain graphic depictions of violence and explicit language. Listener discretion is advised.
Hey everyone. Before we get to today's stories, I just wanted to send out a quick thank you to all the writers who saw our story submission call on social media and sent in stories. The call was for male POV stories, as we only have a few left. And before that, it was for female POV, so it makes sense we go back and forth like that. Just as a reminder, our submissions are always open for male or female POV, and we love when the POV is gender neutral so any of our narrators can read the stories. And thank you to those of you who have already been sending in 31 days of horror stories. The sooner we can get those in, the better. And I do want to make sure that any writers out there who haven't had luck getting their stories accepted don't get too down on themselves.
I know it doesn't feel great to have your story passed on, but we just can't accept all stories, even if we'd love to be able to take everything that gets sent our way. Creepypod.com slash submissions outlines what we're looking for, and even then, sometimes it just doesn't seem like a good fit. That's not a knock on the writing. It's just if we think the story fits with how we do the show. So please, keep writing and submitting. I still very clearly remember how it felt to get my first story accepted from No Sleep, and it still remains one of my favorite parts of podcasting, getting to pass that feeling on to others. You got this. Oh, and a quick shout out to No Sleep, who just passed their 15th anniversary.
I think that I've talked them up enough in the past, but if not, and you haven't listened to No Sleep, come on, go check them out. Okay, enough of this old and improved John who's positive instead of, well, what I have been. Let's get on with horror. First up, in a strange world where people can leave their skin behind, a lonely abandoned skin sets out on a desperate journey to find a body that will truly love and need it. From writer Heidi Hinda Chadwick, narrated by Risa Montanez, Creepy Presents, Somebody to Love.
Getting into and out of your skin was something all children had to learn at some point. Alongside learning how to use the toilet, tie your shoelaces, and blow your nose, it was all part of growing up. To begin, you struggled. You were clumsy. You got your arms stuck. Your flesh got all twisted and out of shape. It hurt, too. So much that you'd cry out in pain and just sob uncontrollably and had to be held and rocked and consoled and hushed until you calmed down. It was okay. You'd just try again tomorrow. You did so well. You really did. By the time you got to primary school, you had it pretty much down.
What happens in the story 'Gooseflesh'?
Sure, there was room for refining. but it was adequate enough. Still, there were those children who hadn't quite mastered it yet. The same ones who would accidentally wet themselves during class, or who looked dirty and smelled bad, their clothes old and frayed and ill-fitting. The other kids cruelly pointing at them, sticking gum in their hair and laughing. In high school, there were other matters to contend with, such as puberty and breasts and hairs and hormones and pimples. And sex. If you were lucky, you had parents who educated you with the basic knowledge of how you slipped off your skin in order to be intimate with someone else. They would teach this without emotion, factual and practical, not taking into account the slithering of self-consciousness or the squirm of wanting to be desired by the other.
The first time you had been intimate with another, you hadn't known what you were doing. Neither of you did. You fumbled and groped and when it came to stripping off skins, you were shy and horny and did so in such a hurry that you'd made a mess. There was blood everywhere, handprints, footprints and butt prints all over the cream furnishings at his house.
