Vociferous, Macabre

A dark start to your Monday

Vociferous- outspoken; tending to opine or complain loudly in speech

Ex: The crossing guard was vociferous in a manner that seriously interfered with his job responsibilities. “Cross the street, or don’t, it’s up to you! See, it’s indecisiveness like this that is ruining our country. Just be a man and make a firm decision either way. Are you really about to let someone else tell you if it’s safe to cross the street? Come on, bro! Oh! Well there you go, you missed your chance! You think life is just going to wait for you to make a move?! There’s no time to wait! Everything could all change in an instant, so make up your mind, NOW! See, I had 6 people die on my watch just last week alone, so my life is surely about to change. But do I let that slow me down, do I dwell on that fact? No! I keep moving forward! So, if you’re listening to me, what I’m saying is KEEP MOVING FORWARD! CROSS THE STREET NOW, NOW, NOW!!!! GO!!!!!” *Crossing guard furiously waves his arms towards the other side of the street and sharply blows on his whistle* *A blue Subaru Forester comes barreling through the intersection and strikes the walker, killing him on impact*

Macabre- having a grim atmosphere associated with death and dying

Ex: Angela opened the door to her goth daughter’s macabre room to lay down some rules for the weekend, as she and her husband would be going away for a couple days together. “The cauldrons are all washed and put away in the cabinet next to the sink. If you need to forage for toad’s eyes or mugwort, just please leave the dog inside, we don’t want him delirious again after eating any of that datura stramonium out by the shed. Absolutely no pentagram fires after 10PM, and please, please no blood sacrifices. Unless, of course, they’re consensual. Oh, and give us a call if you end up summoning Paimon, we’re not going to be able to wait until we’re back home to hear about that!”
