No Longer Human

i've been hearing a lot about osamu dazai's "no longer human". gonna try reading it.

[not-a-health-potion]

are the animals mutated hybrids of some long lost tissue sample of something or the other? i think it would generate a lot of interest into your zoo.

If I ran a zoo, i would allow my guests to hang out with the animals, I think it would generate a lot of interest into my zoo.

english is stupid.

here's one of the many reasons why.

suppose you randomly hear a person say: "I love irritating people!"

they could either mean "I love irritating people" (op likes annoying others) or "i love irritating people" (others who annoy op) [assuming op says this without emphasis and in a, suppose, toneless voice]

what the hell would be your assumption on what the person actually means.

thus ends my question, reblog to answer.

"HEY, CAN I GET AN ADDITION SPECIAL OVER HERE?" yelled an unnaturally tall man - who people called Lucas - to the bartender.

"Ah, you're one of the Dawn aren't you?", Lucas asked a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat.The man splits a wide grin, looks at him and asks: "Really? Me? One of the most prestigious Hunters in the entire world?"

"I know what you are, you know?", whispers Lucas.The man's grin became exponentially wider. "It's been a while since I had to draw a Daywalker's blood."

"Daywalker? You're mistaken." He slid off his glove to reveal a fur covered hand. "I'm a Lycanthrope, not a human!" The fabled Addition Special slid to Lucas' section. The man snatches the cup and takes a massive swig. "This", said Lucas, "is holy water. Awful for you folks, am I not correct?"

“You’re mistaken.” “Hmm?” “YOU’RE MISTAKEN, YOU SHEEP IN WOLF’S FUR!”

He leapt off his seat and threw silvered knives towards the Lycanthrope. He dashes to the left, knocking aside a bystander and barely avoiding the rain of knives barreling towards him.

"SO YOU REALLY ARE A DAWNSINGER!" yelled Lucas as he took a wooden stake inscribed with several crosses and pushed it towards the Dawnsinger’s heart, but he was too late.

The man slashed upwards with a silver-tipped claw, made specially for hunting Lycanthropes. "You... bastard. You broke the Pact of Myth."

"We Dawn are exempt from it, remember?"

"No. But remember this. May the sun's light forever haunt you, 'Voices of Hell’. I take this oath as the 'Wolf of the West', croaked Lucas, filling the bar with an eerie tension.

“No words have made me shiver in fear more!” remarked the man, and left the bar, leaving confused people in the wake of his fight.

Your family is the most prestigious and successful line of vampire hunters in the world, keeping everyone safe from the shadows. Nobody realizes that you are in fact vampires using your position to strike down competition and maintain supremecy over your own kind.
