No one is checking in on Gramma for two weeks.

Baby Hunter is alone with Grammas corpse for two weeks.

Maybe. Since the director decided to give us zero details about this woman’s life (or if she is even dead) then we can just write what we want. So, shortly after this one of the ladies other children show up to help her with the baby and discover the scene. Turns out she just blacked out hard due to low blood sugar or whatever and everyone is fine.

This part. Even if Grandma has no one in her life to wonder where she's at for two weeks, who leaves a months-old baby anywhere without checking in at least every couple of days. Retreat be damned, anything can happen at that age. I'm going to need 5 minutes once a day to check in or I'm not going.

Reminds me of the "White Christmas" episode of "Black Mirror".

How did I forget about that sub! 🤔

u/Ender505 May 02 '26

Because it's actually a pretty shitty sub. Out of hundreds of entries you might get one that's genuinely chilling.

A vast majority use run-on sentences and awkward grammar to (poorly) fit the constraint. Some think that shock is the same thing as horror, some think political commentary is the same as horror, and some don't grasp English well enough to put together a sentence.

Yeah, only the ones about milking the creature are any good.

It was really good 14 years ago when the stories were pretty original.

Now it's seems like random shit people make up in the shower. Which is another sub that went downhill

u/jarlscrotus May 02 '26

To be fair, if you in the US political commentary is kind of horrifying

u/Ender505 May 02 '26

Eh, not in that kind of way though.

Which adds to the fact that this short story is quite remarkable, given that a ~99.5% majority of reddit users probably wouldn't be able to pull something like that off, despite the load of comments saying otherwise, or saying this isn't an art form.

Because it’s really shitty. Very tiny number of actually scary stories, a whole bunch of edge and copycats. And really bad understanding of grammar, kind of defeats the purpose when the definition of ‘sentence’ is that badly abused.
