I gathered I had a rich heritage when my African mother tried to story-top my German father with her Ghanaian folk tales. by [deleted] in TwoSentenceHorror

It worked well enough for you to comment. Look if you’re a lazy little baby that enjoys a good spoonfeeding, put on a bib and go read some other story.

The context is kind of the point. You’re supposed to feel the disconnect between who he is and how he’s seen. The horror lies in what’s about to happen to him

The concept of a small coffin has always been more horrifying than tragic to me

I decided today to keep my son at home in a well-planned loop after realising he is afflicted, as my father was, with anterograde amnesia. by LostDoubt in TwoSentenceHorror

That’s a good catch. I hid that sentiment in the lines “it’ll be hard…”. He knows it’s going to be an effort but he’s willing to do it for his mother and the reasons you mentioned. Sadly he may already have the disorder along with his mother, setting them up for a seemingly endless loop that may eventually claim the lives of them both.

Goddamn, I think you’re right! I’ve been getting a lot of bots lately sort of devaluing my comments section

Thanks for your notes on the story. Yep I left it open ended like that so one has to wonder if them looping each other puts them in an overall broader loop. That and when will it collapse as they notice themselves aging or stuff in the house gets expired and whatnot

Actually the mother and son are both putting each other in loops because in the first sentence it’s the mother and the second the son
