All my life, my parents have told me not to open the basement door, but I got curious and disobeyed them.

When I graduated from my old elementary school, I thought it would be the last time I ever walked through those doors.
|
Sometimes I really hate being a paramedic.
|
My mom says there is demon locked away in the cabinet that will rip our family apart.
|
But when she unlocked it it was only a pill bottle.
|
My father seemed distressed even though it looked like he'd bought so many new gold trinkets.
|
As I snuck up to him and gave him a hug, he dropped the gold food in his hand and looked at me with horror.
|
My daughter sat there in shock for a few seconds, after I called her my chubby little princess
|
I couldn't help but smirk when my bulimic daughter then ran off to the bathroom, as I emptied the contents of her plate onto mine and continued eating
|
"Dinner time!" said my owner, unlocking my cage
|
But my elation soon turned to horror when I realised he was talking to his dogs
|
"In sorry, but there's nothing we can do," the doctor said to me while he turned off the machine.
|
As my lungs began to fail, and vision go dark, the doctor left and added, "There's just been a shortage of organ donors."
|
Over 1 in 10 marriages end in a divorce, but my parents have stayed together through everything.
|
I tried to free mom once, but dad found out and locked me in the basement too.
|
It never bothered me that my family ate roadkill.
|
That was until my little sisters ball rolled into the middle of the road.
|
My daughter sat beside me in the car, sobbing as the Amber Alert went off on the radio.
|
But as I glanced at the scars her mother inflicted on her, I knew I was doing the right thing.
|
[APR22] I once met a devil named Dave and made a deal with him to always win any card game, but last night I kept losing to my mother.
|
After seeing her eyes turn black I excused myself to the toilet and summoned Dave, but he seemed as terrified as I was.
|
I pulled on the still moving arm under the rubble, happy that at least one of the scientists survived the explosion.
|
As I pulled out almost 3 meters of arm with the occasional elbow, I knew I found the only thing not meant to survive.
|
"I agree, abuse is abuse, even if it's a woman doing it to a man" my wife said at the dinner table.
|
If only our dinner guests could see the bruises under my shirt, or knew how our 6 kids were conceived...
|
Leaving the dying world infested with zombies behind, I managed to teleport to a time before it all happened.
|
Happy to be in a zombie free world, I felt a pang of pain in my right leg; I saw that the scratch I had gotten from a zombie was now red and infected.
|
I just found my notebook containing my college essay on goverments brainwashing people and making them forget things
|
The strangest part is, I never went to college.
|
The seven year-old boy awoke up the next morning, both exhausted and shocked as the memories of his longest dream yet began to fade.
|
As his memories blended into nothing-ness, he would never be aware of the fact that the last eighty-four years of his life were the result of an eight hour fever-dream.
|
"These are the buttons your war hero great grandaddy took from the people he killed" said Mom as she handed me the battered old tin box.
|
I counted five old Wehrmacht buttons, three SS, one Luftwaffe, three Fed-Ex, two Pizza Hut and six USPS buttons.
|
Counting sheep is a good way to fall asleep.
|
Counting the number of floorboard creaks is a great way to stay awake.
|
I do not understand this at all.
|
Why are there only 2 packs of ramen when I clearly asked the genie for a lifetime supply of them?
|
The last man on Earth sat alone in a room.
|
His life's work finally done, he rolled over and slept peacefully.
|
I wrote "Mom, dad he just proposed to me and made me the happiest girl on Earth" as my tears drop on the letter.
|
"No tears, write it again!" He said.
|
"I'd haunt tf outta you if I die" we used to joke.
|
But seeing the fear in your eyes as you look at what I've become, I can't help but to smile
|
I approached a man in the graveyard and told him that I was too scared to walk alone.
|
As he escorted me back to my grave he said, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it".
|
Upon my request the heavenly scribe told me: "Your husband is here because he died as a Christian, your daughter is not for she lost her faith because of what your husband did to her."
|
I wanted to protest, but then the eternal bliss of being in God's presence washed over me and nothing else mattered anymore.
|
Ever wondered why so few people have the "sixth sense"?
|
It's called natural selection, 'cause the moment you can sense them, they can sense you.
|
When angels commit an unforgivable sin, they are banished from eternal paradise and reborn into a life of misery and suffering.
|
And we wonder why babies are born screaming.
|
After capturing all of the cult members, we found the missing girl's body on the altar, then the autopsy revealed a 10-week-old fetus inside of her.
|
What really disturbed us, however, was the fact that the girl had been infertile since birth, and that the fetus was found in her stomach.
|
Panicking, I tried to warn the other passengers that the plane was going to crash but I couldn’t make them understand.
|
They just tutted and turned away because no one likes a crying baby on a plane.
|
"Be Not Afraid," The Angel sang in an unworldly voice as the massive entity descended from the heavens.
|
As ten thousand beams of light fired from its massive eye upon Earth's major cities, it added: "Be Terrified."
|
The Devil grabbed my wife by her hair and started dragging her away from me.
|
"You remember the deal, your first born child is mine."
|
"I'm so sorry, dad, but please don't come near me!" was the last thing my son said before blowing his head off.
|
As the bitemark on his arm began to heal, I wished I had told him sooner that our family was immune.
|
Giving birth is hard.
|
Especially when you feel the horns.
|
I didn't regret using my last wish for immortality even after the last star in the universe faded to nothing a trillion years ago.
|
Because I used my second wish to find out what happens after death, and spending an eternity in the uncaring void of a dead universe was by far the better option.
|
It was one of the most euphoric moments of my life, as my wife pushed and my daughter began to crown.
|
My blood ran cold and my stomach turned after the lone head rolled onto the hospital bed.
|
When my husband took my son camping, I delighted in my night of peaceful solitude at home.
|
Since that night, I’ve had endless solitude, but never peace.
|
I promised my wife to keep the last bullet for her when she was bitten by a zombie.
|
I just realized it's been 9 months, and I should have kept another one for what's eating its way out of her body now.
|
The boy asked me, "what do monsters look like?"
|
The temptation to peel back his father's face and show him the truth was almost too much to bear.
|
My first day working at suicide hotline didn't exactly go as I expected.
|
I never expected a call from my daughter.
|
I yawned and stretched my arms, wondering why it was so dark.
|
"We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of..."
|
Joann was a huge advocate for feeding your animals a vegan diet, always peddling the benefits on Facebook.
|
Little did she know a simple fall in the shower was all it took for meat to be back on the menu.
|
My roommate kept stealing my salt, so I replaced it with sugar to teach him a lesson.
|
After I hadn't seen him for 4 days I broke into his room to find a circle of 'salt' around his messy bed covered in tiny, caramelized hoofprints.
|
My loyal Buddy looked at me, eagerly awaiting me to scratch behind his ears with bright eyes, panting and drooling with his tongue exposed.
|
Amazing how a lobotomy changes a man.
|
As I lowered the gun, I realized that I couldn’t commit suicide because it would hurt my family too much.
|
Instead, I decided to show mercy, and loaded my gun with a few more bullets.
|
I gave my son "Anti-monster spray" in a little bottle, so he would feel safe sleeping alone.
|
It wasn't easy getting that holy water, but he can't know i see it too.
|
I managed to grab the razor blade from the young woman just in time before she was able to cut her wrists with it.
|
I angrily slapped her across the face for cowardly trying to get out of her appointment with the men waiting upstairs for her.
|
im not scared that i’ve been seeing missing posters of myself
|
it’s the fact that the news is now saying that my body has been found.
|
I looked out from the second floor at the bloody mess outside on the street, and realised that my parents had been lying to me
|
They told me that babies are bouncing bundles of joy, but my brother had barely bounced at all
|
"It doesn't hurt anymore, babe" my girlfriend murmers sleepily as she snuggles closer.
|
"We've stopped shaking, too" I mumble blearily as we huddle together in this frozen cabin, a distant voice in my head trying to remember why this seems like a bad thing.
|
As the clerk handed me my developed prints, he shyly asked if I did horror photography for a living, or if it was just a hobby.
|
I couldn't answer as I frantically ripped open the pack to see the photos I took alone in my grandmother's empty house.
|
I just knew that the glowing stone was a gift from the gods that could save us from the sickness that ravaged our village.
|
Why else would the ancient ones have made the odd clicking box that led me straight to it?
|
I laughed in Lucifer's face when he told me the punishment in hell for Nymphomania was eternal sex.
|
It's been over a month now, the constant friction has eroded my genitals but the succubi just won't stop.
|
My Mom always said that my baby brother is an angel.
|
I sat there crying to her on the balcony trying to explain I thought angels could fly.
|
Just because I’m Jewish, my white Aryan neighbour keeps telling me to get out of the country before I get harmed.
|
No matter how much he begs and pleads with me, I smile calmly and reassure him that it’s 1937; people are more civilized nowadays, and this new “Nazi party” in power doesn’t worry me.
|
I have to confess that I never truly loved my children, they where an accident and I blame them for ruining my life.
|
Yet they still crave my approval and keep praying to me.
|
I watched from the afterlife as my mother, always so outwardly caring and affectionate, was finally convicted of poisoning me.
|
How the fuck did I forget to leave a note?
|
As I got out of the Ford Police Interceptor and walked towards the cute young woman that I'd pulled over, I reflected that she really wasn't a criminal.
|
The actual criminals are the companies that legally sell former police cars, realistic light bars, and real police uniforms to just anyone.
|
I was surprised by my ex-wife's nice gesture of sending me a box of chocolates for my 5 years of sobriety anniversary.
|
But only after I tasted one piece and felt the sweet, stingy cherry liquior flooding my mouth I realised her true intentions.
|
My teacher in the Bomb Disposal Unit always told me that I should never stress when defusing a bomb because "Either I'm right or it's not my problem anymore."
|
As I lay crippled and disfigured in the ICU I realized that there was a third and far worse option...
|
My wife is absent minded.
|
After she left for work she awakened me with a text message that said, “I left the back door open so please make it look like an accident.”
|
“OK, this is a game where we’ve got 90 seconds to change your clothes, clip your hair and rub this dye into it”
|
“On your way out of the mall smile at the security guard and don’t say a word”
|
"Dude what's up??" he hollered as I wave back trying to remember his name.
|
"Not much!" a voice walking up from behind me says.
|
"Don't worry, I'll fix everything caused by that awful car accident, " the surgeon told me cheerfully just before he began.
|
Then he leaned in close so only I could hear and whispered menacingly, "I want you to know that the woman in the car you hit was my daughter, you goddamn drunk."
|
We all assumed she was just enjoying the strawberry jam in the cake we smashed her face in.
|
We didn’t know bakers used wooden beams as support for tall cakes.
|
After my ex-husband dropped off our daughter from her weekend stay, I noticed bruises on her back and stomach.
|
I forgot to cover them up, hopefully he didn't see.
|
I know this sub is supposed to be for stories and stuff, but I just wanted to say thanks!
|
All the awesome ideas on here have helped me break from routine and keep things fresh!
|
My wife and I had another fight over me getting home drunk, so I threw our new vase at her face.
|
Now her ashes are all over her portrait.
|
Immortality is indeed a blessing.
|
In the age of famine, the immortals' perk of body regeneration is truly a gift to humanity
|
"Do you have any last words?" the executioner asked me.
|
"You say that every time."
|
"You can leave this room when your sister does!" my mother screamed as she locked the door behind her.
|
I turned in horror to the rotting corpse as I finally realized where Lilly had been all these months.
|
I'm pregnant and I can't wait for my child to be born !
|
I've always wanted a little brother.
|
When they said mark of the beast, they always thought it is some kind of a barcode or a symbol that distinguish him from the others.
|
They scanned my head for temperature several times already and it's always measured 66.6 degrees.
|
“WHY WOULD YOU CUT A BABY’S WRISTS?!” the doctors and the police in the hospital lobby screamed.
|
The young mother, with dull eyes framed with dark circles, quietly responded, “when I can’t stop crying cutting my wrists is the only thing that helps, and I thought it would help him too.”
|
I hate seeing the hanging girl in my closet
|
I wish that my parents hadn’t given me my sister’s old room
|
I always fall asleep holding my wife's hand
|
I'll bury it with the rest of her body when I'm ready
|
With swift urgency, I ran to the distressed mother clutching her daughter who’d been struck by a car.
|
Hands steady, I pulled out my phone and quickly zoomed into their faces and started recording.
|
"Hands in the air" the officer barked as I sat there on my knees.
|
They weren't nearly as amused as I was when I raised my victims arms into the air in response.
|
The genie granted me 3 wishes, I wished to visit humanity 1 year into the future.
|
*”Rule 1: I cannot bring back the dead”* said the genie.
|
The aliens interviewed every last human to see if we are good and worth saving.
|
Then they asked the animals.
|
“Oh fuck yes” she moaned while bouncing on me.
|
With tears in my eyes, I laid on the bed, doing nothing except begging her to stop.
|
I stepped off the elevator, eager to tell my therapist that I had finally found a reason to live, and had decided not to kill myself.
|
All I found in his office was an open window, and a note that simply read, "You were right, nothing matters, none of it."
|
I was thrilled to receive my first call from the app “Be My Eyes.”
|
Until she sobbed into the phone asking if she was alone and I couldn’t yell no fast enough.
|
They say a shiver down your spine means that someone’s walking over your future burial site.
|
As my husband walks around outside gardening, the shivers won’t stop.
|
It had fangs, scales and it's arms were crookedly disfigured like undeveloped wings.
|
As my wife lay dying on the birthing bed she uttered, "I swear it's yours".
|
The giftbox was light, really light, and I gave it a small comedy shake, which elicited a chuckle from my wife.
|
I opened the box and looked at the mangled bloody mess and twisted wire hanger sitting at the bottom as she whispered in my ear "It was twins".
|
I caught my kids watching a documentary about the horrors committed by soldiers during the last war
|
I hope the uniform prevented them from recognizing me.
|
"So you're saying these pills will get rid of Bob, Sarah, Michael, and all my other personalities, right?" I said eagerly.
|
"I'm so sorry, Fred," the therapist replied, "but I already gave them to Michael."
|
When the authorities called and said they were bringing my wife home after finding her wandering around a local mall, I placed the barrel of the pistol against my temple and prepared to pull the trigger.
|
After listening to the priest and cutting her body up into 1999 pieces, scattering them around the world, I knew that death was my only escape.
|
I threaded the needle and began to work diligently.
|
No matter how much my daughter screamed and struggled, I had to make absolutely sure she remained pure until her wedding night.
|
It was only after at least 12 feet of digging trough wet and suffocating mud by hand, that it had struck me.
|
They must have buried me face down.
|
No child should ever die alone.
|
That's why I decided to let my son invite some friends over.
|
My heart sank as I watched the footage on my security camera, which had recorded the man who killed my son.
|
I had no idea my sleepwalking had gotten this bad...
|
[MOD POST] My little brother hung himself last night after a long battle with his own inner demons and alcoholism, so if you or someone you love is suffering from depression, please reach out and get help, NOW.
|
I love you, Keifer. . I hope you are at peace right now.
|
"My son always screams like a wounded animal when we cut his hair," we told the psychiatrist, hoping for guidance.
|
Several tests and doctors later, guilt brings me to my knees, when the genetic specialist describes the believed to be unique condition of live nerve endings in the boy's hair.
|
My partner tied me to our bed after we had sex, saying I was gonna be the first person to experience this type of pregnancy.
|
Now that whatever inside of me has started eating its way out, she's nowhere to be seen.
|
After Grandpa died, sorting through his belongings brought back a lot of memories.
|
When we found his vintage porn collection, it reminded me that I used to have a sister.
|
"I said I wanted a white one!" the spoiled girl in the pet shop shrieked, stomping her feet and begining to throw a fit.
|
As the panicked store owner ushered me back to my cage, I was suddenly grateful for my dark skin.
|
The world ending in 2012 wasn't a prophecy, it was a suggestion.
|
We should have listened, but now He's here.
|
You are receiving this message as a valued customer, because according to our records you dined at our restaurant twice in the past month.
|
Please contact your doctor and local health department immediately for more information on prion diseases.
|
She slid two fingers in and moaned: "It's so tight, but I think it might be wet enough to fit a third!"
|
He screamed into his gag and started to convulse, as she stretched the wound in his abs a little bit farther.
|
'OMG I love cookie dough ice cream', I thought hungrily digging into the treat.
|
Usually, I only find meat and vegetable mush in people's stomachs.
|
When I heard the screams, I ran outside to find my elderly dog in a puddle of blood and my wife consoling my son.
|
I heard him say something about the dog attacking him first, but I saw the little smirk on his face, and he didn't have a scratch on him.
