I find it really interesting how it changed from "The child" and "my daughter" with a light hint of sarcasm, to her name. Lucia. The narrator knows their name. There's this weird willingness to accept this odd situation, like the narrator becomes okay with the idea of going along with this perceived lie. Maybe it's just an attempt to buy time, but the way they called her a monster at the end and thinking, "checkmate" to themself feels playful. Like whatever initial fear and tension has started to melt away. However, is this the narrator actively choosing to slip deeper into this comfortable lie, or are they slowly forgetting that they should be afraid of this THING?

Its kinda funny, because playing peekaboo with a child is like playing with their sense or permanence, once the face goes away it might be like the person goes away. But when the child quickly gets wiser it plays peekaboo back. Its kind of amusing the idea that a parent might not recognize their child in a similar way. But in a less literal sense, its still baffling to watch a person develop from seemingly nothing, even IF you saw the child born, a baby is so much different from a person, and a child can become different people at an alarming rate. The fear of finding something else pop out from that game of peekaboo suddenly takes new meaning.

Yeah.Turns out my kid is a fighter. He will literally throw hands at any other boy who displeases him. I don’t know he learned this or why he does it. We don’t hit at home. We don’t watch violent tv. We don’t venerate violence in any form. His favorite books are all comedies. He doesn’t attack girls, smaller kids, or pets, but I’ve seen him start fights with kids his own grade and much much older. It’s wild. All at once he goes from being my sweet innocent little kid to a fleeting shadow of a my late Marine father. My father who beat a man into a bloody pulp with an aluminum baseball bat when I was seven and hiding in the back of his truck. My father who killed and missed having a license to do it. You really don’t know what’s going to peek out from behind the cereal box.

You surely do sound traumatized by your father, doesn't mean you have to link your kids behavior with his, or you will resent your own child and he will notice it. Then they will do whatever they can to distance themselves from you, and if the family tells them they ressemble your father, he will be the only anchor point, exemple to follow, and you will raise someone who hates you. Don't see your father's behavior in your kid, see the behavior of a kid with his own mind, who learns to deal with others in evolving ways. Just make sure he doesn't bully.

You sound like you don’t like your father. That’s unfortunate. But be at ease, your son is perfectly normal. Boys exist on a spectrum of a social dominance hierarchy. Just focus on teaching him WHEN it’s ok to go hands on. You pointed out his force is reserved for boys in his own weight class. This is the sign of a healthy boy with leadership qualities. You’ve done something right. He knows force is an important tool but he also appears to know it should only be applied in the appropriate circumstances. If you were paying attention the boys he becomes aggressive with are likely doing something that triggers the violence. All you have to do is regulate and guide the violence to constructive ends. Males will challenge the position of other males in lots of shady ways, even at young ages. He’s likely reacting to passive aggressive ques or he is establishing his place in the hierarchy To prevent challenges. Nothing abnormal or bad. Just the way of our Sex.

I have no reference for the context of the audio but it very much brings to mind my grandfather. While he was alive he had Alzheimer's and at times he would completely forget who, where, and when he was. During the early stages he explained that while he was having an episode he knew who I was and my relation to him, but couldn't remember which of his sons was my father, how I ended up there, any details about me, etc. To him, I simply spawned into existence mear moments before he walked in the room. He knew my name and that I was his grandson and that was it. The fear in his eyes when he described it was chilling and made me realize the kind of horror that he must have felt at having his mind fail him. The best way to describe it is that Alzheimer's is the closest we can get to true lovecraftian horror in real life, your reality twisting and folding in on itself as your memories eb and flow like tides on a beach. He self ended (can't say the "s" word) during a lucid moment back in 2008 and said in his note that he wanted to end (Can't say the "d" word either apparently) as himself, not the "thing" that his disease made him into.

@@hallie342 yeah! I Am In Eskew is written (and narrated) by Jon Ware and Munna Hussen who went on to make The Silt Verses. I’ll be real - compared to TSV, Eskew has some rough edges. It was their first podcast. The audio quality is a bit worse and it feels like a much smaller story (it’s just the two writers doing the narration from two points of view), but I still love it and would absolutely recommend it.

This was such a wonderful work of art! It really sparks the imagination. As seen from the comments, there are so many different ways that it can be interpreted or related to. I personally found it to be cute and charming, with an element of absurdist humor to the whole thing.

they're in the city of Eskew, descriptive word is Eskovian (this is not everyday English grammar) - the story is that everything in Eskew is at least a little horrible, so "the Eskovian night" implies a night sky that is subtly wrong

@aceofspades847411 күн бұрын
Your artstyle is so wonderful, and despite its adorableness, still manages to convey the unsettling horror elements. I have no context to this, but the thing I find most unsettling is the fact that the narrator sees this unfamiliar intruder, yet recognizes it as their daughter. There may have been some scene where they reacted in shock to the random child and the reactions of said child and/or other people around them all acted as if the kid was their child and so they are running with it to avoid being seen as crazy, but I would imagine their internal monologue would describe the entity as an intruder claiming to be their child instead of saying “my daughter.” Instead, it seems to me that they saw this entity and instantly knew on sight both that this creature is their daughter, and that that is not and never was true. That’s true horror, seeing something and knowing the backstory it’s supposed to have, the role it’s supposed to fill, yet being aware that it has only just now been superimposed onto your life story with no logic or explanation, while your own brain tries to convince you on some level that what is unfamiliar is familiar.

The horror for me is, is it the child that's suddenly appeared and seems off, or is the parent going mad? Or... is it the question of sanity that the parent now has to face, despite unquestionably knowing the facts, the horror? Or is the horor that she now has to live with this thing - either the mysterious daughter, the slow breakdown, or the constant questioning of her mental health - without being able to go to anyone about it Amazing work!

I like it actually develops the expectative on whether is it a real creature from a cursed dimension or either the dad's lost memory at not even recognizing his own kid... The horror feels real, the narrative could've been scarier but it's a good concept...
