More like run on sentence horror.

, : ; doing a lot of heavy lifting

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seriously it defeats the purpose of being two sentence horror if both "sentences" are just a full paragraph with no punctuation.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Using find and replace on War and Peace to replace all periods with commas and claim victory over the sub

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

That’s just the average literary author

This is ADHD slander

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 57 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's a little tiny nugget of an interesting horror idea here, maybe reflecting the artificiality of suburban American dream nuclear family life, maybe that it's all a lie and the people you love and count on could abandon you any second, but it was done in the most awkward way - and tying kink is just weird lol. I don't think anyone could do a 24/7 dynamic and then just... walk away lol

This is the real horror. Making it about kink aside, this gave me flashbacks of being unable to explain ideas as a child.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

Yeah this screams teenager with decent imagination and a critical eye towards social constructs, but hasn’t developed the skills to express those in a smooth, articulate manner.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

And it's been done better years ago in a song as well. The lines "And you may say to yourself this is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!" From Once In A Lifetime is basically that, but good.

shines flashlight under face

but it wasn’t 😱

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Two sentence horror is always garbage. Its always a run on sentence with bad punctuation that overexplains bullshit and then "but baby ded"

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Counterpoint: I told him to pass me a soda. Little did I know that it was ✨spooky soda✨

There was like, maybe 20-50 good 2 sentence horror ideas. They've all been posted already, it's just 2 paragraph horror now.

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

but baby ded is so such a good encapsulation

[–] AlkaliMarxist@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

That sub is really scary

if you're a punctuation mark.

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Love my two sentence horror story to contain an additional paragraph of lore you have to read to understand it.

Trying my hand at two sentence horror:

It’s my 80 anniversary. Walmart has promised i will get shorter shift today and a donut.

[–] disco@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

You should post this one in the subreddit.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

but it wasn't

Damn got a master scribe here

[–] eight@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

My apologies if this one missed the mark. Here is the explanation: pee pee poo poo

Lmao I've been missing these amateur translators. It was always fun to see their notes scrabbled in the margins of manga as well.

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's nice having some nerd explain cultural and linguistic nuances instead of just like editing rice cakes into donuts

That dropped baby's name? Alfred Einstein. And there, hanging behind the babby, WAS THE HOOK

"No, John, you are the demons."

And then John was a zombie.

It's true, I was the large-adult-son

[–] fox@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Two sentence horror, especially the construct of the subreddit, is that of a setup and punchline. A joke. The title is first given, setting up a tension, and then when you click on it, it releases the tension with one sentence. A punchline.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

But then who is the baby? The baby is you.

[–] HeavenAndEarth@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Longest two sentences of my life

What is this: a dark comic bit? This makes no sense...

There are much more than 2 sentences in that post

I feel like a seven year old could write one better than this

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I’m not going to hate on this too much because it could be a young kid dipping their toes into fiction-writing. A lot of my early stuff is very cringe lol

If I had a nickel for every twosentencehorror post I've seen about throwing babies I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

[–] disco@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Lol that got me pretty good

r/TwoSentenceHorror is a treasure trove of really shitty fiction with an inexplicably large amount of fans

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)
