Not disclosing the traps was unsportsmanlike and unfair - that really made me angry. He also lied about it being his first manhunt. I don’t know how or why anyone would ever agree to such a thing - I would never be that brave or foolhardy. Edit: oh… nice twist! Well-deserved and satisfying

This reminds me of “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. I read it in high school and I was amazed. I go back to it every now and again and it’s so crazy you narrated a story similar to it. Whoever is reading this, I suggest you read the story as well! It’s set in an older time, with a different setting, names and different ways of meeting. If you liked this, you’d love the short story.

If you've read the story "The most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell then you'd pretty easily see the ending.

[@Ghost51492]

Awesome story and ending!!! I just knew there was something off about the MC. He was just too calm , confident and willing. And not in the “ I don’t have much to live for and I’m looking for excitement” way but more in a “ he can’t kill me , I have a secret” kinda way. Really reminded me about a recent story I listened to about a truck driver that crashes in the middle of nowhere and finds a house of some seemingly hospitable and nice farmers , but they turn out to be a cult and right when they are about to sacrifice him he turns into a werewolf and massacres the whole cult.

[@kimvu7610]

I can only guess that "canned me" is the the tongue in cheek reverse of " you tube". It is a bit of an head cutting monolith. Some very good out of the box thinkers silenced, some to never find a new platform. Some very curious things... Worthy of a creepypasta. If creepypasta could marry true crime, dark web contracts (or worse) and ultimate censorship.

[@4shotpastas]

@tree eyed It is really easy to nitpick writers who aren't paid for their work and don't have an editor but themselves. And it's even easier to be a dick about it rather than give constructive feedback to the author in an understanding manner. Keep in mind, the vast majority of writers for creepypastas do it for the joy of creation, very few end up shooting to become published authors.
