I'm Trapped In A Grocery Store. It Has A STRANGE List Of Rules.

This story explains how the rules are made. By sacrificing people in order to discover them. The lack of specific rules and having to depend on someone on the phone clearly doomed all the workers at the convenience store.

[@souveniehollande979]

It makes us wonder about the countless casualties that preceded the introduction of safety measures in the modern world. How many children were either kidnapped or assaulted before we started inculcating in them _en masse_ the idiom, "stranger danger"? How many people were mauled to death by wild dogs before we learned not to make eye contact with a canine? How many people were crushed to death by falling debris in an earthquake before we learned that it was better to take cover under a table or a doorway if you weren't able to run outside into a clear area?

That story was fantastic. Just enough gore, good plot, awesome storytelling really brought it to life. BRAVO!

[@SoullessAIMusic]

Not a bad story but it is missing a satisfying, why? Something most needed for such a story. All they had to do was simply make our MC arrive 5 mins before the shop closes instead of having all the time in the world to leave. Thn he's trapped after hours to see the nightmare unfold, reason? If they don't manage the place instead of just locking up an hour earlier for the night, an obvious plot hole > If you are knocked out for more thn a few seconds, you got brain damage and are not standing up on your own or reacting to anything as a fully functional person. Often I see the, "Knocked out," stuff in stories to lazily get a person in x position. It gets a tad bit over used/annoying. Over all its entertaining but with a few more re-edits it could have been great.

[@starsilverinfinity]

I can’t really think of a time that we’ve had a rules story from a outsider perspective - this one is pretty good

[@rodmanbrutus1671]

I love how he completely ignored the fact that the man said if you say anything to anyone more people will die if you want to save lives you have to keep your mouth shut. Completely ignores that statement and says I'm going to go and tell everyone

[@d.g.t.l6292]

I felt like it was just a way to get him to listen, since he was a random customer and nobody would believe something like this, so she brought it up in the most extreme way to scare them into cooperating.

[@boudicaastorm4540]

It also is a little weird that the narrator lives above the grocery store but he noticed nothing strange had happened all the other 6 or 7 times this grocery store was hit? That could mean he has neighbors who are also witnesses who are keeping it quiet, but I'd think there would be a lot of missing persons in his building? Wouldn't the most likely customers in the middle of the night be the other apartment residents? Very creepy and well written, but that part does leave some unanswered questions for me.

[@playlistmaker5169]

@@boudicaastorm4540 well in the end of the video when narrator got out the store, the suv's were all gone, so maybe the outside people also had no idea what's happening unless they went in the store?

[@gothgirl4evr881]

​​@@playlistmaker5169I think that's the case or the store slips into another dimension during the times it is hit so from the outside it looks normal and empty like it's already closed, seeing as the dude walked out and suddenly there were other people and the SUVs were gone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

These 'rules' stories are usually a miss, with how silly it gets, and the main characters usually make me facepalm myself, but this one was impressive. Well done !

So like, protagonist sees the weird white ghoul thing skulking around the store, but when kids come in 10 minutes later he’s like “what’s going on. Why are they alone in the city, this is crazy”. My brother in christ, you just hid from a green-eyed pale creature and the kids are throwing you off?

The SCP foundation would have it on lockdown, but in Scp fashion would still have the store staffed by D class and let it ride. Consider it "contained" and see how far it goes giving their rules as they're made. And every now and then "oh hey there's a new one" MORE D CLASS!

>man sees nightmare creature stalking the aisles >man sees child and is incredulous that a child could be out alone AFTER SEEING A NIGHTMARE CREATURE This is one of the big issues I have with stories like this.

I quite enjoy fey stories and this one screams "fey" to me, especially after "she's gonna wake one of them up" and there being thousands of potential options, and then the deer thing, and being in another plane entirely.
