Hey everyone! i have been sick for a little while, but im feeling better and working on some new videos for you all! How have you been? whats been new in the last few weeks?

“Don’t let me be a bother” - the grandma who literally prevented anyone from loving him. Lol

Halfway through this story all I could think about is how horrible of a Grandmother she was. Because of her fear she crippled her grandson socially and mentally which led to the way this story played out 😢

I feel like this was one of the scarier stories you've read. And it has almost no paranormal activity.

Wow, that is so sad.  His selfish grandmother failed Tommy so badly.  And the fact that his hallucination of her treated him so badly shows how awful of a mother figure she was to him in life.

This story really pulled me in. I think Evelyn passed the night she woke up at midnight and he couldn’t wake her up the following morning.
And sadly yes, very relatable. I understand Evelyn wanting to choose where she died. I understand the despair that swallows Tommy. This story conjures a deep, twisted, and beautiful sorrow. There was so much sadness, release, and almost joy when Tommy died. Interesting how the author conveyed Tommy’s confusion upon seeing his grandmother was already there. This is a work of art- thank you!

Now this is utterly horrifying, a book of true horror, despair and sadness. You never fail to show off Somnium.

This is by far the best horror story I've ever read, they (the writer) somehow managed to depict death as disgusting, beautiful, scary, peaceful, and all other contradicting words in this cohesive narrative. Especially with the denial of death, I caught on almost immediately that Tommy was caring for his grandmother's corpse, and the portrayal of the delusion was done perfectly without being too obvious or sudden.
Evelyn's care is all too familiar to me, as a child my mother had to help my great-grandfather during the final years of his life after a long battle against Alzheimer's disease. I dont remember much as that period of my life was one of the hardest, but this story perfectly encapsulates the feeling of helplessness, anger, sadness, and loneliness when watching a loved one slowly pass away.

There is a difference between reading a story and bringing a story to life, you my friend have a good talent of making the story come to life.

SPOILER ALERT!:




The author really managed to give me that horrifying sinking feeling when you realize his grandmother was already dead and he took care of her rotting body.
Amazing story and amazing narration as always. This was one of my absolute favorites!

I took care of my aging mother before she died at 91. WOWSERS the description  of  Tommy taking care of his grandmother is  pretty accurate. WHEW what a creepy story!

I've seen my fair share of Criminal Minds to know where this was going the second he noticed "the mess was bigger than usual".
Gammy died when death cloaked her in darkness, and Tommy was too desperate to keep her with him that his mind was unwanting to let him see the reality of her being gone. Weaving a twisted reality where it was, as it always had felt like it, them vs. the rest.

my favorite types of stories are 1) long, 2) about weird things in houses/rooms, and 3) involve strange family elements or childhood memories. this is such a gift

Was starting to think this story wasn't going to get scary, but then you brought in the HOA and I jumped out of my skin

This story was brilliant. You are 100 percent correct with your theory. That particularly bad accident she had, the bowels releasing everything after death. Then she couldn’t move her arms anymore, rigor mortis setting in making it harder to pour water and food into the mouth. Then she got “better”, the stiffness dispersing. The cherry on top was her favorite thing to watch, Hitchcock. The main character was essentially pulling a Norman Bates

This was an amazing story. I think the author managed not only to write an amazing creepypasta, but also to capture the struggle and stress of caring for someone, having them completely depend on you and the horror of seeing a loved one slowly withering away.
P.S. Glad you're feeling a bit better!

This may not have been the story to listen to while coming to terms with the fact that my grandparents don’t have much time left 😅

The nod to HItchcock in the story confirms she died early on for me. I think the "extra bad mess" was a post mortem evacuation or whatever it's called. Not sure why Death hung around so long unless he just has clairvoyance and didn't see a reason to leave and come right back. Regardless, one of the better stories I've heard here lately. A nice change of pace from what often is here, not that the usual is bad or anything.

I agree with your thought process. That's how I took the story too. She was alive during the first half of the story but, he kept her alive in his mind after she died cause
he couldn't let go of her. When you live with and take of someone for so long and they become the world to you you pick up on all of their habits, mannerisms, speech,
and other quirks that when you suffer a loss that great sometimes it can break people to the point that they become delusional and carry on as if nothing has changed.
It's sad and scary at the same time.

Saddest horror story I've heard in a while.  But I actually leap frogged between the grandma being alive or dead the whole time up til the end. I re-listened to it, and it is very obvious when Tommy tries to change her a second time and Evelyn can't lift her arm for him. Clearly he is trying to care for a corpse, of course Evelyn can't move.
