Is anybody else getting worried about what they're writing? I don't just mean quality wise. Have you written anything that has shocked/disturbed/upset you?

I wrote a story about a family that tortures people for a month before killing them. The method of torture for my character was being forced to go through meth withdrawals.

I also wrote a story about a girl shooting her rapist from the end to the beginning (Shoots the rapist/kills herself, days after the rape, the rape itself, the hours before the rape in that order) and disturbed my creative writing class. That story took on a whole new meaning when I was actually assaulted 9 months later.

Shit, that's tough.

These sound like the kind of thing I'd really enjoy reading, but there's something very disconcerting about writing them yourself. Have you seen the film Irreversible? If you haven't already you might not want to, it's awful, but it's very similar to the second story.
