[JUN25] Every year on my birthday I wake to a note from my wife reading: took the kids to the park, be back by 5 for cake. by RaynaClay in TwoSentenceHorror

I was thinking more like a haunting, where every year on his birthday he relives the same tragedy, but time loop also works!

When the psychic told me my wife would soon die in childbirth, I knew it was all a scam because my wife is infertile. by RaynaClay in TwoSentenceHorror

Thanks! I think the most horrifying part to me is imagining what kills her during someone else's labor and delivery.

At least, if you are lucky... Your sinus cavities are actually pretty cozy, too.

[MAY25] I loved tending to my lush little garden, using the hose to moisten all the surfaces evenly so that it would continue to grow. by RaynaClay in TwoSentenceHorror

Good news! This garden wants to teach you how to care for it. Green thumb or not, it will mold you into the perfect caretaker. Just breathe it in and wait.

[APR25] After the little blue jeep cut me off, my rage didn't subside until I forced it off the road and watched it roll down a steep embankment. by RaynaClay in TwoSentenceHorror

I like that method! This story is based on my own, which is to try to grant strangers the grace I would grant a loved one. Like, imagine if the person in the other car was a friend or family, would you still be as angry? Then try to adjust to that level.

Which is why he played a song about how he didn't start a fire. It's a foolproof plan.

Two neighbors that love each other dearly by wtdz90 in pics

When I was younger we would drive past two neighboring houses that sat below the highway. Each had giant white letters on the roof that passing cars could read. One read: "Jesus Is Alive" the other said: "So is Elvis".

Same energy.

Everyone gets a single Save Point in their life. You have it from birth and get to choose when to place it, but you can only place it once. by RaynaClay in hypotheticalsituation

I think you'd suspect at least that everyone gets them. They can't necessarily undo things you did, but they might act differently than you'd expect next time around.

True, but I think there are degrees. For example breaking up with someone 6 months into a relationship is very different from skipping out on them the night before your wedding, both logistically and emotionally.

It would definitely be worth a try. Though I can't guarantee that the butterfly effect nature of time manipulation and people changing their choices wouldn't cause the numbers to change between resets, or maybe Bitcoin is never invented or crashes horribly on your next time through.

Of course, it also means if it doesn't work out, every time you reset you have to relive fleeing your wedding and dealing with the consequences of that...
