Alright mate, fancy reading some of this here horror flash fiction? Of course you do!
Created in 2011 as a blog for sharing my dreadful original literature, the Insanity Aquarium was Freshly Pressed in December 2011 and survives to this day as a depository of infrequent stories which attract the sane and insane alike.
My blogging name is Anna – a pseudonym adopted from my time spent anonymously lurking in suicide forums as a depressed teenager with OCPD. Things have very much moved on since then: I am pleased to report that I am now a depressed adult with OCPD. I enjoy listening to music in alphabetical order (and mostly enjoy it when I get to listen to Every Time I Die and Thursday), reading about Cold War history, watching soothing nonsense television programmes about aliens, and watching ASMR videos even though I thoroughly detest repetitive sounds. I live in Nottingham (UK) and work in the Higher Education sector facilitating continuous improvement. I can’t drive because my retinas are bleeding, so I spend a lot of time on the train complaining about not having a lot of time to write. I am conflicted between knowing that uniqueness does not exist, and that I am the only person who will arrange my socks just so. I am also terribly, terribly boring.
I have no idea how I ended up where I am, but more importantly I still have no idea how to be a successful blogger. You may soon discover that I have used the term “flash fiction” to cover up my appalling inability to write more than a few paragraphs at a time – and you’re more than welcome to follow me in my failed attempts at creativity here on the Insanity Aquarium.

How can you possibly feel sorry for Squidward of SpongeBob Squarepants when you just made this blog about humor and expressed your hatred for truthful restrictions?

“I also have a tremendous fear of pigeons and tins.”
I have an odd dislike of wet wooden spoons and your blog entries are brilliant. Those two statements have no connection whatsoever but I’m still going to follow you anyway.
Looking forward to seeing more!
