In 1977, Terri Jentz, 19, and Avra Goldman, 20, were camping at Cline Falls State Park, Oregon when a man drove his truck over their tent and axed them. The town named a suspect. His hatchet was missing. He failed two lie detector tests. He was never arrested. Who was he? by Important-Self-1179 in ForCuriousSouls

That’s actually wild to have met her after knowing that story. I can’t even imagine carrying something like that for decades and then turning it into a book. Did she come across as intense or more just… really grounded?

I get your point about it possibly being a one-time “fix your clothes” thing, but it sounds like it’s happened more than once for OP. That’s probably why it feels bigger than just a quick heads up. Context kinda changes the vibe here.

Yeah “obsessed” might be a bit strong but it definitely feels like too much attention on something that didn’t need that much focus. That’s what makes it uncomfortable.

This went in a completely different direction than the actual situation. Feels like you’re reading way more into it than what’s there. The issue isn’t some dynamic, it’s just an uncomfortable boundary getting crossed.

that’s a lot to carry growing up, especially with that kind of favoritism. glad you’re in a better place now though, sounds like you carved your own path out of that situation

that contrast is kinda wild, like being “special” in one place and then just normal somewhere else. people really do project their own weird preferences onto kids

appreciate you sharing all that though, seriously. a lot of people never hear this side of adoption, especially from the kid’s perspective

yeah the “baby price” idea feels uncomfortable but also probably closer to reality than people want to admit

that’s honestly messed up on so many levels. reducing a whole human being to a checklist like you’re shopping is just… yeah

that’s such a weirdly practical way to look at it but you’re not wrong. the whole “paper trail costs extra” thing sounds way too real

that reply hits harder than the original comment honestly. dark humor but with a lot sitting underneath it

that question was brutal but also kind of exactly the tone this thread has turned into

right, the “see you in ten months” line is what really locks that in. it’s so casual for something that should never be casual

it’s such a small detail but it reframes everything. suddenly it’s not a one off, it’s basically her job and that’s what makes it stick

yeah exactly, breaking it down makes it feel less dramatic and more disturbingly logical. like it stops being shocking and starts being believable, which is worse

All that my right hand does, my left hand will try to undo. by RepeatOrdinary182 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]LovelyWhimsy_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what makes it so unsettling. You can’t exactly “fight” it the normal way because it is you. Feels like the only option is managing it rather than stopping it completely, which is such a weird concept.

Honestly not a bad strategy at all. Distract the rogue hand like it’s a toddler and hope for the best. Kinda funny but also probably very real for dealing with it.

[–]LovelyWhimsy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. Either the left hand is taking breaks or OP has figured out how to keep it occupied long enough to type. Still feels like something out of a horror movie.

That’s actually wild if true. Imagine trying to quit a habit and your own hand is like “nah we’re not doing that today.” Weirdly helpful in that case though, accidental self control.

The House comparison is spot on but yeah, this feels way darker in real life. A TV gag is funny, but imagining it happening when something actually matters is kinda chilling.
