@@madelinewhite813 I think she died that night he was in his room gaming and she got attacked by the dark entity. Because the morning after he couldn't wake her up at first and her diaper was insanely full (like when a body dies it releases everything) and after that she couldn't eat, drink or help moving when he dressed her.

[@yesterdayitrained]

This story really pulled me in. I think Evelyn passed the night she woke up at midnight and he couldn’t wake her up the following morning. And sadly yes, very relatable. I understand Evelyn wanting to choose where she died. I understand the despair that swallows Tommy. This story conjures a deep, twisted, and beautiful sorrow. There was so much sadness, release, and almost joy when Tommy died. Interesting how the author conveyed Tommy’s confusion upon seeing his grandmother was already there. This is a work of art- thank you!

[@uniraffesaur]

I was searching to see if someone else thought Evelyn had passed, and everything after that was Tommy’s imagination. Which would also explain why the cops couldn’t hear her

[@mikethegoo]

I feel like I would have figwir out a bit later, but having read this before that nwin the story did help me think about what could be signs of death in how they went on. Like the extra excrement (because bodies relax all their muscles, so it's not uncommon for people who just died to shit and piss themselves) or the fact that she can't raise her arm. He is literally taking care of a corpse.

[@noviibutnotactive8385]

This is by far the best horror story I've ever read, they (the writer) somehow managed to depict death as disgusting, beautiful, scary, peaceful, and all other contradicting words in this cohesive narrative. Especially with the denial of death, I caught on almost immediately that Tommy was caring for his grandmother's corpse, and the portrayal of the delusion was done perfectly without being too obvious or sudden. Evelyn's care is all too familiar to me, as a child my mother had to help my great-grandfather during the final years of his life after a long battle against Alzheimer's disease. I dont remember much as that period of my life was one of the hardest, but this story perfectly encapsulates the feeling of helplessness, anger, sadness, and loneliness when watching a loved one slowly pass away.

[@boblawblaw892]

Halfway through this story all I could think about is how horrible of a Grandmother she was. Because of her fear she crippled her grandson socially and mentally which led to the way this story played out 😢

[@BOFAMET]

I think the point of the story is that Granny and Grandson were both just victims of life circumstance and the inherent indifference of death and truama, and were doing the best with what they had. People always want stories to have a villain or "bad guy" to blame EVERYTHING on but the fact is, life is much more complicated than that. And it's easy to judge when you're an outsider looking in, safe from the same unfair circumstances that turn people "horrible".

[@Mygg_Jeager]

​@@BOFAMETsounds like you're trying to justify her horrible actions. People are complicated. But what's unforgivable about her is that she had her moment of clarity. She realized how she had failed her grandson so spectacularly. And instead of changing her ways last-minute, and having a heart-to-heart with him about how he's going to have to grow up without her, she sends him to his grave. Over her own vanity. She didn't ask for the gun or for medically assisted suicide, she sent him armed against the police. That is unforgivable. He on the other hand, the man who attempted murder against officers of the law, is much more understandable as a victim. And ultimately, is forgivable.

[@justkittensbeingkittens5892]

@@Mygg_JeagerI’m confused, I thought at that point she was dead and he was just Hallucinating her asking him to protect her

[@BOFAMET]

@@Mygg_Jeager I think you might want to listen to the story again my dude lol, you seem to have missed a crucial factor in "granny" supposedly sending her grandson to his death. Even still, not wanting to die in a facility as an old person isn't "vanity" exactly. It's more about being literally at the end of your life and wanting to pass on surrounded by a familiar environment and people you're comfortable with. This generation's media literacy is astounding pfff

There is a difference between reading a story and bringing a story to life, you my friend have a good talent of making the story come to life.

[@EthanSantillan-oj6fl]

This story was brilliant. You are 100 percent correct with your theory. That particularly bad accident she had, the bowels releasing everything after death. Then she couldn’t move her arms anymore, rigor mortis setting in making it harder to pour water and food into the mouth. Then she got “better”, the stiffness dispersing. The cherry on top was her favorite thing to watch, Hitchcock. The main character was essentially pulling a Norman Bates

[@LordOfTheFatties]

I think when she started eating and drinking again and getting better, after Tommy briefly sees a corpse staring at the cieling, that's when he fully switches to the illusion and delusion.

[@mikethegoo]

Wait, was Hitchcock a reference? What was the reference? I heard he was a good film maker but I don't know much about him or his films

[@shydog7276]

I think this is probably one of the best horror pieces I've ever heard. It being so firmly planted in reality hits really different. My dad took care of my bio mom for a couple years while she slowly lost her battle to cancer. So while I can't relate directly, I did have to watch it as a small child. A truly painful and tragic thing, watching someone you love so deeply just waste away. And I don't know how to describe, but the way you narrate really captures the feeling of dispair. Feels so weird to sit and praise a piece that has me feeling all kinds of uncomfortable and sad lol. Well done, you really know what stories to pick and and how to really make them cone to life.

This brought so many flashbacks to me. I was the main caretaker for my great grandma, my parents and grandma doing their share when they could. The author really perfectly pictured the struggles we went through. The changing, the routines, the struggle to keep our loved one clean, the fear of watching them slowly decline and revert to what I can only equal to a talking infant. Only able to talk and maybe move their hands somewhat but rather helpless in any other aspect. And the codependency between the two... It's something I've witnessed so many times...

[@JayMagLam]

I agree with your thought process. That's how I took the story too. She was alive during the first half of the story but, he kept her alive in his mind after she died cause he couldn't let go of her. When you live with and take of someone for so long and they become the world to you you pick up on all of their habits, mannerisms, speech, and other quirks that when you suffer a loss that great sometimes it can break people to the point that they become delusional and carry on as if nothing has changed. It's sad and scary at the same time.

The nod to HItchcock in the story confirms she died early on for me. I think the "extra bad mess" was a post mortem evacuation or whatever it's called. Not sure why Death hung around so long unless he just has clairvoyance and didn't see a reason to leave and come right back. Regardless, one of the better stories I've heard here lately. A nice change of pace from what often is here, not that the usual is bad or anything.

Which is a tribute not only to your excellent narrations but your sensibility in choosing stories to tell that effect you, and draw out real feelings that cannot be faked no matter how good the narrator. It always FEELS as if you put yourself into your narrations just enough to breathe unique life into them, without altering the author's intentions or vision. So, in short, you are magical.

Dude don’t apologize I am actually so happy you got a break you’ve been doing INSANE work and it’s always top quality too. You really are THE English reading KZbin channel and I’m yet to find a Chanel that comes close to your quality. TAKE BREAKS!! As for the story, I for some reason love the trope of someone dying and OP not acknowledging it to a point of becoming deluded, it’s scratches my brain. I think she definitely died during the night where she described being consumed by a void, the massive amount of feces (which usually happens shortly after death because of reflexes shutting off), the sudden change in tone, the lack of food or WATER and most importantly, this being the last moment in the story which we get from her POV are such big indicators. I think it’s so interesting how seemingly the hallucination of his grandmother were harsh and cold in the beginning but increasingly overly sweet and ego stroking. I think the delusions came from a place of defence where his mind didn’t want to acknowledge she died and more so all alone when he promised to be by her side, and schizophrenic hallucinations were easier to process. That line about him seeing her corpse for a split second despite hearing her voice UGH that was SO good, I was sure that’d be his breaking point where he realizes what’s actually happening but it just kept going! I am kind of wondering about the description of death in this and if it’s real seeing as they both experienced it and in that case why death was after him.

Your theory was mine as well, I kind of thought this in the middle of the story, love everything you do, keep it up💯

[@russiannpcbot6408]

I agree with Dark Somnium's opinion of the story. Tommy snapped. His grandmother's fear was correct. He couldn't handle being on his own.

[@misterb3577]

Yep. Add to the fact that she intentionally screwed him up throughout his childhood to make sure he'd never leave her, it becomes beyond tragic.

[@SparkyMark89]

Glad you're feeling better! There are no other substitutes for your narrations. I've been listening for 5 years now. I started with "The Part of the Deep Web We Aren't Supposed To See". I knew nothing about CreepyPastas or Reddit Nosleep back then. I was actually trying to research the deep web and one of the search results was that story. I have been hooked ever since. You have an outstanding talent for storytelling. I hope your health continues to improve and thank you for all that you do! -Mark

[@Zalixor]

Good to have you back 😊 I agree with your theory. I love stories that doesn't tell you upright what is going on!

[@putent9623]

The fact your stories and your channel are still alfoat is just fking great. Like i havent watched in such a long time (life started getting negative and these videos started giivng me nightmares lmaoo). Now im good and i just miss the vibes of ur stories and the vibes you create. Its feels like your watching a movie. Like i actually watched a 10/10 movie then i remember its all in my head.

My goodness i just found you.. I normally listen to Lighthouse and Mr.CreepyPasta I'm so glad i found another great narrator to keep my mind occupied while im at work. Love the content

[@Darksomnium]

im so glad you're enjoying the channel!

[@brianlandryjr.3575]

@@Darksomnium I really love the swat officer story that you just did! I think I'm going to listen to every story you have until I'm caught up!

[@jayson75]

Damn I was really rooting for Tommy to heal emotionally and carry on, i didn't see it coming when he died as well. Poor guy was the grandson version of Norman Bates

[@thedragonlady6661]

I think this is one of the best short stories I’ve ever read. This transcends creepy pastas

[@jaredabellera846]

If only that boy survived the crash in the first place. It would've saved everyone so much suffering.

[@oren1305]

Exactly what I needed while I clean and work. The rain in the background is excellent with the piano music. You've got such talent and I'm so pleased I discovered your channel those years ago.

[@ladyselene2368]

Your sound design is always supreme 🎉🎉🎉 love your work!

[@pheenixalexander]

Ugh this was so good but I wanted more from the ending😫😫😫. Great work as usual!

[@Pugilist379]

I’ve witnessed the codependent consequences of the devouring mother figure. This story’s undercurrent touches on something very true.

[@juliephillips9248]

I’ve just finished listening to this and I felt like I was watching it also. What a masterpiece of work

[@zetharerey3761]

This story is what we in the manga reading commu like to call misery-p*rn. Good story, very realistic take on the care of aging people and the narration was top tier like always. 👏

[@vandreadsims01]

Hello, nursing home staff here. If a loved one is having difficulty chewing or swallowing please have them see a professional. They may need thicked liquids. And please don't feed the elderly baby food. Just put regular food in a blender to make ground or pureed food.

[@thisridewecalllife]

Ya know, I thought the ending was gonna be something like "cops come back with the warrant, enter the house to find gammy actually already been dead for some time and tommy was in denial and imagining everything with her"

[@RowdyRedBeard]

Now THIS is the psychological stories I like hearing

[@cabinaadams7072]

Hey Ronnie, it’s good to see that you’re feeling better ❤… thanks for the story 😊

[@DEAD_DOG]

This reminded me of Mariah on the moon, just more sad and depressing lol. I never really considered the idea that the grandma was dead but your theory makes a lot of sense and makes the story far more interesting. Great narration as always!

[@DeltaPi314]

I rarely complement the writer. But this is poignant and horrific. Kudos. What I like about this is that this is Adult horror - something that every adult fears: having to let go of their aging, manipulative and sometimes spiteful parents piece by piece. This is not the usual dumb Something-the-killer, or a recycled ghost story... this is something that can be very real. What I think: Yes, the grandmother obviously died earlier. And her last fear was regarding her grandson because she knows how much she screwed him up. The grandson's world was only his grandmother. He had nothing outside of her (both due to him not rebelling and due to her manipulations), and he obviously had a mental breakdown when she passed. Obviously the cops handled a mental breakdown as they usually do in public imagination - while in reality they would have called EMS to talk with the grandson and just hangout in the background if the thing starts going wilde... oh, wait... this is set in the US. nevermind.

[@yesterdayitrained]

I agree with every word you wrote. And yes, I live in the U.S.- those that have non-violent breakdowns often get killed instead of help. The neighbor was beyond cruel- his motives were never well-intentioned. Why is it human nature, it seems, to look down, to push down, those who are already suffering so much?

[@kellykade]

@@yesterdayitrained I am confused because I thought he had a gun though?

[@nebs6888]

​@@kellykade Yeah he was armed and dangerous.

[@candancecarmean770]

I agree with your take on the story. I have been a geriatric, psych and wound nurse for 30 years and this story hits close to home. Something else I take from the story is how some children seem to stay in denial when their parents or grandparents are at the.end.of their lives. I have also seen children that have been manipulated by their parents into taking care of them when it is clear that a nursing home would be the best option. Then there are the parents that are dropped off at the facility and never have a visitor. I have to admit I started crying when she started giving him extra deserts and stopped reminding him to shower.

[@hangeishot7919]

Dark Somnium. It's always good to hear your stories.

[@anonymoose2705]

Hope you’re feeling better man. Your stories are a pleasure to listen to. I really enjoyed the recent swat officer one as it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Keep up the good work man i cant wait to listen to this.

[@Darksomnium]

i am! thank you :) glad you enjoyed it!

[@awolstew1036]

This was really good bro.. a bit different from ur usual but definitely a great story and expertly narrated

[@brightbkh07]

I agree, I was thinking she died halfway through when death came down on her and he was so messed up mentally that he was taking care of her dead body as if she was alive. I kind of expected the police to discover her decomposing body after Tommy was shot but I guess the author wanted to leave us with our imagination to come up with our own ending. I really liked this one though! The style of the story was my favorite type. Easy to follow and understand unlike some where I’m totally confused about what is happening. Sorry you got sick man and I’m glad you are feeling better now!

[@21stcenturymouse]

yep, Grandma's dead. The multiple references to Hitchcock are definitely pointing to Psycho, indicating the main character is giving his dead grandma a "voice" just like Norman Bates did with his mother. We've got a corpse in the house.

[@superboyx2837]

Listened to this once it came out but needed to wrap my head around this sad sad story. I figured the grandma died when death first got her. When tommy was like moving her head she was basically dead but reanimated back to her “prime” meant it was just him imagining. But near the end when she suggested getting the nurse for a brief moment I thought it was the one who insist but he wasn’t. The moment the smell came I knew she was indeed dead and the ending. This poor boy had nothing basically. The grandma intentionally kept him dependent because of her grief and he had no real life it was just waisted and squandered

[@dustinmannel3071]

Okay you two are getting really good at narrating stories together I am super impressed and I love your channel. Kudos to both of you You doing amazing job❤

[@kristophergilliam9374]

Completely agree with your interpretation. Thanks for another captivating story.

[@ThatDudeJerm]

This one really hit home for me. My older sister and I stayed with our grandmother while she was on hospice care back in 2016. One of the hardest things ive ever had to do. And i dont know how my sister managed to do it cause that was only about 2 years after she had done the same thing for her mother in law. I cooked the last meal my grandmother ate before she passed. And some people might take comfort in that thought with their loved ones, for me I wish i couldve made her something special instead of hamburger helper. I completely agree with your theory though. As soon as Jason came to their door and the story mentioned the horrible smell I was like yeah shes gotta be dead. I thought maybe she was dead the entire time at first but idk i think youre right about her dying part way through the story. Cause as the story progressed his grandmother would call him a “good boy” and give him more admiration. Which is the one thing that he seemingly thrived on. Once i came to the conclusion that she was dead thats when the little “hitchcock” reference clicked for me. Im still not sure when she died for sure but my guess is that she either died during the night when she woke up and Tommy wasnt there OR Tommy accidentally killed her when he fired his gun 3 times. Even if he didnt kill her at that point i believe she was definitely dead. Besides the fact that he shot his own foot i think when he went to change evelyn after he bandaged his foot up, he struggled so much because she was dead. He couldnt lift her out of the bed so easily because of her dead weight and/or possibly rigor-mortis may have already set in at that point which would make changing her/lifting her/etc. extremely tiring and difficult for anyone let alone someone with a bullet wound in their foot.

[@yesterdayitrained]

I think the night she woke up at midnight- because he couldn’t wake her up the following morning. Which would mean she died alone. The one thing neither of them wanted.

[@youwatch2muchtv]

When he noticed she had more feces than usual to where it was leaking onto the floor, that was when she was dead.

[@yesterdayitrained]

@@youwatch2muchtv Yes- agree with that too. And the mentions of how nothing would ever make her smell better. I was wondering how she could be alive at that point.

[@aschyd]

Once again, amazign work. In all these years, you always do better and better. Keep it up, you're amazing. ❤
