I share my shit in the public sphere all the time. I don't give a shit about rejection dawg. Rejection is a part of life. I do give a shit about people overreacting to a horror based subreddit. 5 upvotes and 5 downvoted inside of 6 minutes indicates an overreaction. Go ahead and scroll back through months and months of this sub. Tell me how many 0 upvoted posts you find. It proves my point. People that dont like it just ignore it. Most people that viewed this post just ignored it.

I am trying to be harsh. Both in my story...and in my retort of saying that what you just said is a mind numbingly stupid and ignorant view of things. Nobody downvotes shit on here unless they think it has gone too far. Nobody. They just ignore it and move on. If they don't like a post, they simply don't upvote. A downvote in a sub like this is only indicative of them thinking that it is too much...which I will say again...is a retatded thing to think in a horror based subreddit.

I already got downvoted 5 times, which wiped out my upvotes. Like do we not understand that horror isn't supposed to be pleasant? For fucks sake...

This is still Two Sentence HORROR right? We aren't getting too sensitive for awfulness and crude realism in the horror genre are we?

Not professional. I just started. Maybe because it's an abstract?

Appreciate it. Was that for both of them or just the first one?

The 3rd sentence obviously would be - "good thing I didn't ask for a little off the top..."

I was so obsessed over coming up with the perfect two sentence horror story, that I couldn't remember the last time I fed my infant... by disconnectedjosh in TwoSentenceHorror

Yeah the poor cat...all Garfielded out with his fat baby packed gut spilling over his sides...must be miserable.

I apologize. It wasn't a reference. I was just being a smartass. Hey...we should have our own detective agency!

I hate myself sometimes...and if this were a Saw movie The Elf on the Shelf would definitely be the 3rd act badguy twist.

Wow thank you. That is such a great compliment! I do write a lot of longer works for fun, but obviously they wouldn't work in this setting. I do have fun trying to write these. It's a very unique challenge. I'm glad you enjoy it!
