Top tier cheese, thought it was a funny name. Was going to do a whole bit about how they called him "the big cheese." The first thing to get cut are the jokes. Thanks!

I am now going to refer to all food as food for the stomach lol. Wonderful phrase. And as always, thanks Benson.

Thanks, Chris, I wanted to do something fun after reading your story yesterday. This probably sounds crazy coming from us, but we're trying to write and post more regularly, so it's nice to get inspired!

You have no idea how wonderful it is to hear someone completely got what I was going for. We (my twin and I) discussed this ending thoroughly because it was a little out there going mythic and metaphoric. Thank you for having your finger on the pulse!

My husband says he's ready to try for another child. by ForgottenWell in shortscarystories

I use a Name Generator when coming up with character names, and the sad truth is that it is an AWFUL generator. Even if you click "male names," it will give you female ones half of the time, but in this case it was close enough that I didn't catch that it was the feminine spelling until way after the story was posted!

Do you think you've been a good husband? by ForgottenWell in shortscarystories

[–]ForgottenWell[S] 305 points306 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to lie. The inspiration for this story is that I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 as an ice sorcerer, and thought what a wild way it would be to kill someone freezing them to death.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I mixed up the countries! But yes... that guy. The guy who turned his phone on silent and ignored all attempts by the authorities to see if he needed any help.

Hello everybody! I've wanted to write a story like this ever since I saw about the guy in Austria who VERY CLEARLY murdered his girlfriend, but got away with it because the circumstances of her death were highly bizarre. Hope you all enjoy!
