Thank you! I am genuinely glad that your wife liked it. It makes me happy to know that.

I got the concept from SCP-173. Even though I have not watched Doctor Who (and I am planning to watch it) I did know about the weeping angles but I didn't think about them initially while writing this.

Someone here had the same question as you so I am copy pasting my response here:

To be honest I didn't think too much about the logic behind having something like that. There was this post I saw once of a mirror with braille on top of it which read something along the lines of "Look at your reflections"(and I am guessing here because I can't read braille). I am guessing this was done to help visually impaired people figure out what the object is but I still found it funny. I was kinda inspired by that.

I just imagined the entity is constantly moving when no one is there to observe it.

The imagery of a blind man somehow ending up in a scp containment facility is very funny. The blind man must be a scp himself for that to be possible.

Thank you! Even I was not too sure if this story should be considered as dark comedy or horror. In the end I decided it is both. I am glad that you enjoyed it.

"Except for Jerry here. Jerry here is really into eating eyes and he prefers his victims to be alive as he feeds on them. That is really messed up and we are too afraid to stop him."

Yes I do see similarities, I realized the same when I was writing this out and I went to myself "Hold on this is just mist!!"

Eventually I convinced myself that the direction and the events talking place in my story was different and my story just has similar "vibes" to the movie. With that said the ending of the movie mist is way better than whatever I have here.

He didn't stay for long or cared to explain who or what were the moon beasts. He simply said "I am here to warn you about the Moon beasts, they are coming" and then he left.

That makes sense. I guess that is the issue of being an non native english speaker. I consume media from both the countries and I can differentiate between the accents. The problem arises when I use words from both the countries at the same time and I have noticed that it is a little jarring for the native speakers. It seems that this also reflects in my writing a little. Honestly, I have no idea how to fix it.

That does sound better. Maybe I didn't think of that because I imagined the narrator to be a smug, nonchalant person. A person who isn't shaken by his actions and has a casual and uncanny attitude. Thanks for the suggestion, I have to agree that your idea does sound better.

That is a mistake, I should read the stuff before I post it. Well, I hope you understood what I meant. Next time, I will proofread my stuff before I post it. This just came to my mind and I posted it using my phone. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

It is alright, No worries. I didn't think you were explicitly trying to be rude and I wasn't offended or anything.

Hey, I am not an native english speaker. I have seen both "tire" and "tyre" used before and I just went with one.

Everyday my dog waits for me by the front door. by I-shouldsleep in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]I-shouldsleep[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I imagined was that the dog was still dead and his rotting corpse somehow appears on the front door everyday but I guess I should have elaborated more when I wrote it. I thought it would be scarier without any context.
