Here's the next story! This one's pretty wacky. It might be the weirdest idea I've had so far. The basis of the idea was "someone who feeds on tears or needs tears to live". Originally it was going to be a horror story, but I decided against that approach. There's still a slightly horrific scene, though, because I wanted to try my hand at writing horror. What else... Well, here's a little trade secret - the name of the main character ("MC") was inspired by what I kept on calling him in my notes. Which was MC, short for main character. ;)
As always, thank you to the people who read and reviewed my previous story, and happy reading for this one!
Title: A Different Way to Live
Warnings: violence, creepiness
Summary: It's tough needing human tears to live when you don't like to make people cry.

Notes: First point of view, present tense. Genre is supernatural, which might be the same as fantasy but I'm going to say it's different. ;)
