      Hey I remember that one!

      Its a chilling concept, for sure but I don’t think anyone could truly understand how much someone would be begging for death by the time they pulled out their phone, let alone finished typing.

      By the time anyone did or worse yet by the time it wore off, there would be nothing left of the person from the day before.

      Like damn that would be the one time I wish I had a concealed carry weapon. If there is a deity that abhors such things, I think they’d understand the mitigating circumstances. If not, then it’s not a deity I’d like to spend another eternity with.

        I think it’s actually a plot point that eventually your brain would turn to mush. iirc he’s special or something and that’s why he didn’t die? not sure. there’s a part two that’s a lot weirder but also an awesome read.

      Reminds me of that Junji Ito story about the dreamer. Don’t remember what it was called off the top of my head.

      one of my favorite nosleep stories. I wonder if there’s a nosleep Lemmy community? 🤔
