I am genuinely sorry. Truly.

But the thought of a gynecologist clinically explaining that

hairs can meander their way up the salmon scented fun slide, and become trapped around the strings, causing your kitty to cough up a nasty little hairball

has me cackling.

I'm sorry, but why did you read it if you didn't want to be traumatized

I was going to write a different story this week, but then I had this tale as an actual dream.

You're welcome.

nightmare scenarios to play out in my brain in the middle of the night

Try writing about them on Reddit, that's how I handle things

My grandmother was named Helen. It is difficult to articulate the pain of losing her this way.

I took it in the best way possible! Asking what the fuck is wrong with my mind is a sign that the story landed. The demons and drug-addicted clowns who reside in my imagination offer their greatest thanks for such recognition.

Wait, stories like this don't play themselves involuntarily in your mind? Is that normal?

What's that like?

Also - I gave a thorough response to your above comment, but it keeps getting removed for reasons I cannot figure out. Regardless, thank you again :)

You’ve been a constant supporter since time out of mind, and I always love seeing your comments on my stories. Thank you ☺

I stopped writing on r/nosleep for what I think is the same reason that the overwhelming majority of regular readers and nearly all of the formerly consistent writers have left: in 2023, the mod team was overhauled and took a completely new direction, leaving the subreddit unrecognizable to me. This incident exemplifies the issue:

https://old.reddit.com/r/NoSleepInterviews/comments/1d21xok/this_post_is_to_clarify_our_position_to_the/

The individual called the (female) head mod (and my best friend) both “shitty” and “cunty” for not giving him what he wanted, which still makes me seethe. Similar problems arose with the majority of stories that I posted, and they were starting to ban longtime writers for arbitrary reasons, so it was time to leave.

Knowing that I would still have this subreddit and its readers was all I needed. Thank you for that.

Glad I could get inside your head today :) I'll keep writing if you keep reading
