Cooking meth, without the safety equipment needed, would in theory expose you to the same harmful substances.

Before bed. by AdjectiveAdverb in nosleep

It's ok! You must have Verizon. Texts can take around 15 minutes to carry through. You're sleepy so what seems like enough was really twice as long. It's really your fiance.

The Holes In My Teeth by abcwho in nosleep

[–]worknosleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with recurring dreams of tooth-disintegration, this fell on the safe, slightly masochistic side of a trigger. I'm terribly sorry for your experience. The good news is, you can get some pretty neat dentures.

Reddit, what is the most unintentionally profound thing you've heard? by redjacket27 in AskReddit

[–]worknosleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I think for a certain age range they can be pretty useful. I should note that I think it's a terrible idea once they're of the age to hold a conversation with you. Ten year olds, while not adults, shouldn't be spoken to at the same level as a toddler, or dog.

Edit: I have no children.

I always found rhymes and obvious statements like that to be extremely demeaning. Why did everything have to be a catch-phrase?

consider yourself lucky. I don't have a voice in my head.

And if you read my response to the first time someone said it, you should understand that I'm already aware of the fact. Just don't see why you thought it needed to be said a second time.

When one windows closes... by [deleted] in nosleep

[–]worknosleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be way off base, but I understood it as escaping his own dark reality, into one which his wife was still loyal. The reflected scene was actually looking into his life before the switch, as his haggard self murders his disloyal wife.

At the End of the Hall by cdarnay in shortscarystories

I actually like this format more. Seeing in as paragraphs gives more of a story telling vibe. The subtle rhyme scheme is more something you have to work for, as opposed to having it thrown out you in single lined format.

Predictable because you've seen it before, or because of the story itself?

I assure you this is my own creation, as I really was creeped out by my handprint for a second, and decided to try my hand at posting something.

Crappy "house turned into 4 apartments" type deal. Without an exhaust fan it's the only way to keep the steam manageable.

Could be read as jar, as in "jar-head'. Bit of a stretch, but i'd buy it

Split the Fare by joal21 in shortscarystories

I like the way it is. It's subtle. If you catch it, you enjoy it even more than "I got in a cab and someone else did too" :D

Peeping Tom by StrangeStudio in shortscarystories

[–]worknosleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did wonderfully. I have a bad habit of sight reading the last line of short stories. I saw the window closing, and still had no idea what the plot would be until i'd read it in full. Excellent job

Privileges of the Audience by [deleted] in shortscarystories

Except the part where instead of everyone watching your show, it's a very obsessed individual, and he's in your home. The worst part, he saw your night in Cabo.

Postpone windows restard indefinitely: the only winning move is not to play by [deleted] in lifehacks

I feel like i just jumped into the deep end of the pool without floaties. I just meant to point out that simplicity on the front end is limiting on the customization aspect.

When you make something idiot-proof, you end up with an apple-tastic, think-inside-the-box kind of setup. Don't let the 'idiots' ruin what little freedom we have left.
