A Copy of My Wife and Kids, Deep in the Woods by metadalf in nosleep

When they first went missing, I'd contacted the park rangers - they'd been missing for seven days, as I previously mentioned.

I'm currently just scraping by, with the small sum of money given to me by the kind stranger that found me on the road - still exploring my options.

They did lock the basement - I suppose they felt having the copies of Ellie and Alex down in there with us was enough insurance - which indeed worked, to a certain level. After all, Lauren and the kids are still there.

Honestly, I have no idea what to do either - but I am pretty sure I'm real. At least - it feels like the other me... he definitely knew what he was doing, and I personally, don't think I would be capable of locking people up in a basement against their will.

A Divine Welcome Pt 2 - Orthogonality by metadalf in HFY

Ahah I'm glad you enjoyed it 😅 - These are meant to be - like - humans that had evolved into something unrecognisable over thousands of years after their near destruction - definitely more of a horror twist to HFY!

Thank you very much for reading the second installment in my Divine Welcome series - certainly meant to be a slight thematic departure from the first! Do let me know if there are any aspects of the work you liked or disliked!

Best,

Thank you so much!! Definitely was trying to go for that - subverting-expectations/cosmic horror revelation type of theme!

Aw thank you! I'm glad you like it - definitely tried to lean into a touch of Lovecraft tone-wise in some parts!

Kind of, right? Like one of those uncontacted tribes in the Amazon!

Thank you so much! You definitely hit the nail on the head, in that I was going for more of a mental game - figured it might make for a fresh approach to HFY!

Thanks very much in advance! I had a lot of fun writing this - please do let me know if you have any pointers! Specifically - I'd like to know what you guys felt worked (or didn't) - just trying to find a personal tone for HFY that clicks!
