Someone else is theorising that the creatures are cognitohazards, which means the more you know about them the more danger you're in. The parents might just be trying to protect the kids. If not tho, there's no point in hiding it because they're already traumatised.

[@RajatKumar-jw7ghffg]

[@SoicAngellis]

A potential explanation I came up with in a reply to another comment; I think the whole town must periodically fall partially 'out' of reality. The parents know what's going on, so it's happened before. They still have a connection to the outside world so they haven't fallen completely out of the universe, but it's enough for the rest of the world to have 'forgotten' them, hence why they vanished from the internet. The entities are Lovecraftian in nature, able to enter the city because it's Fallen Out, and those are the kinds of creatures that get more powerful the more you Know about them. Cognitohazards, which explains why the parents can't explain what's going on. It could be anything- just them directly getting stronger from people knowing about them, or knowledge of them could be like a beacon. If it's the latter, having the ignorant around might obscure that effect. Or knowledge might even corrupt those too young or weak of willed, hence why the kids are kept in the dark. The only explanation I can think of for keeping the kids in the dark, other than just "Lol story trope", is that the creatures are a cognitohazards.

[@kookykoruc1827]

Interesting theory, only thing i don't understand is: if it happened before why would they stay there? Other than that, the creature explanation actually makes sense. I sincerely love when there's purposely little information on the creatures as it makes them more horrifying in my opinion

[@OWnIshiiTrolling]

The parents not explaining anything seems to just be a convenient way to avoid having to flesh out the story in this case. They could have offered a lot more information to their kids without explaining anything about the creatures. It really looks like the characters were made braindead for plot convenience.

[@michaelh9649]

@Owen Ishii I don’t think that’s the case with this one, as frustrating as it was. They made too big of deal about it in the story, with a couple different characters remarking on how weird it was. I think the author would’ve tried to gloss over it if it was intended to be just a plot device. Of course, whatever the author intended, it ended up acting only as a plot device because he gave literally zero clues as to what else it could be, so the whole point is moot lol

[@OWnIshiiTrolling]

@@michaelh9649 Pointing out flaws like that in the script itself is sometimes used in an attempt to fix the flaw. It doesn't work, though, since the characters pointing out how dumb it is doesn't make it any less dumb. It really looks like a "Hey, even the characters acknowledge that it's stupid, so you can't fault me for it, because I figured it out myself!" We are basically asked to ignore the flaw, because the story acknowledges the flaw, which is kind of silly. But as you say, in the end it's unexplained dumb behavior either way. I just think it's a matter of not investing enough time into the story to make the characters plausible (which is totally fine in a zero-budget online story, and completely understandable), and not for some hidden in-universe reason.

The only downside to finding your channel is the fact that I now VERY rarely can find the same satisfaction in other narrators’s videos. The way you use your voice, the music and the sound effects is so good that it separates your channel from everyone else that I have come upon. Your ability to make me emotional, scared or disturbed is what truly makes me appreciate you and your work. I was wondering if anyone in these comments could recommend a channel, which they believe would give me the satisfaction that I’m seeking. Preferably a channel that uploads their contents to Spotify in the form of a podcast. I have watched / listened to all videos on this channel, and am therefore in desperate need of narrations to get me through my hours at work. Yes, I listen to creepypastas while working, lol.

The second I heard that his school isn't on the web, and "there's something outside", makes me think that the whole town has phased/disconnected from their main reality. They aren't showing up, because until they reconnect to a world with other people, they technically don't exist. The parents have gone through this before, as they know the rules that you follow to ensure you don't get captured /killed (don't open the door if it's knocked on, keep all doors and window s closed to ensure "they" can't get in, ect. Dad's use of weapons means that the Things are somewhat vulnerable to them, but the fact they aren't heavily use its more of a deterrent then a Finisher.

[@TheGuindo]

@@twilightparanormalresearch186 this is the explanation that would make the most sense. I don't know if the story backs it up, though. If they all got injured on that first night, Jeanie _did_ seem to turn much faster than the narrator's parents, which could be because her husband and daughter _both_ knew about her injury (2 other people having knowledge, as opposed to just 1), or it could've been because she had a much worse injury than they got (not stated, but that's the impression I got). What _I_ want to know is how come the parents always seem to know exactly what's going on in these stories? In _The Third Parent_ the author actually bothered to explain that the parents had gone through it themselves as children, but in a story like this it's like.... what, did they also experience their entire hometown disappearing and everyone turning into monsters when they were kids? How did _they_ survive, if that's the case?

Tbh his KZbin videos are the exceptional work. I've bought one of the audiobooks he narrated and it just wasn't the same.

I like how the story built up the threat level, culminating in a Lovecraftian monster at the end. I don't know what links the disappearance of any online footprint the town has with it's physical disappearance. I've listened to it a couple of times and I'm none the wiser on that front. At the end of the story it alludes to there being a sequel and it would be a great idea for the author to write one in the style of the protagonist but a few years older when they try to find their home town and maybe have more clues as to the background of the entity and what, if anything, their government knows about what's going on.

[@drakewarrior1013]

Protagonist noticed a scratch/wound that they were hiding. Probably it is some kind of virus that affects the brain or something and forces victims to walk right to the monster eventually. The woman from a friend's family also was scratched, and at night she was gone via the window. Same fate. What I really don't understand is the last seconds of the ending. Protagonist talks about returning to the town in the future and that they "know they can find the entrance". Just like the monsters did, knocking and prodding every nook and cranny? And at the last sentence, he signs up as Mark? I thought Mark was his brother? Is he hallucinating? Is he having an imaginary friend? Is it some part of "I'm already a monster and killed my brother"?

This is so well made, the added music is amazing!

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you!

[@Money_Mott]

@@Darksomnium what’s it called😩

[@Justadonkey]

You are the best horror narrator on KZbin hands down. You put so much emotion and effort in your videos and it really shows

[@Harukinesis]

This was the first story that got me interested in this channel and I love coming back to it!

[@earlovl5793]

Just starting the vid, sounds pretty good already. Missed watching and listening to Dark's vids, been busy with school. It seems like his stuff became even better!

[@franceshendrickson3138]

I love this story. This is the third time I’ve heard it! It has such a delightful twist in the plot and the little side story with the cat sweetens it. Kudos to the author and also to the narrator. It’s a wonderful combination. Can’t wait to hear more.

[@linassatkauskas26]

You uploaded right on time for bed. Thank you for always giving us the sweetest of dreams!

[@Darksomnium]

have a good night! :)

[@PabbyPabbles]

Gotta say, that's a sick sound visualizer thingy you got. Putting dropshadows and stuff with the coloring makes it look like pulsating concrete or something

[@bigjay875]

This is one of the more unique and original stories I've herd in a while. Great work 👍. Keep up the great story telling. And thank you for putting this on line for the world to enjoy 🌚

[@Darkboy2525]

Dark !! YOU nailed it once again. You are truly so good to us. The Atmosphere in this story is soooo good; in the beginning, when the brothers see something in the woods and hear a scream, I love those moments, they feel cosy. Safe inside, while the horrors are outside. truly a glorious story that put me in a real movie like state in my head ^^ Thank you so much Dark Somnium. after all these years, your voice sounds like a good friend to me, helping me fall asleep ^^ ! Love you man !

[@Darksomnium]

Wow, thank you!

[@zackxeno1019]

I just love these longer, "cinematic" type stories

[@lafi0105]

Man your narrations are way too good. Love your channel.

[@MrMaddparkison]

I love all your works. Anything you wish to grace us with, will be loved an shared. Thank you. My kids an I spend many night with you. It's like when I was a child an my grandparents playing recordings of old time radio programs. Thank you.

[@CJ_00]

You’re narration is the best I’ve found on KZbin it’s so calm and flows around the story so well I’ll be honest this is the first video I’ve seen from you and my god I can say this… it’ll definitely not be the last🤣

[@dirgewordsmithe]

You are absolutely a master of your craft sir! Your technical ability to set a tone is impeccable and your truly brought this story to vivid, horrifying life!!! Wow...

[@SlendyK]

One of the first TDS I watched, absolutely fell in love with the narration, the sfx the music. Thank you, Dark Somnium. This channel has gotten me through some dark times in my life.

[@Darksomnium]

Glad you enjoyed it! i hope youre doing well!

[@TiernanWilkinson]

This plus the background music reminded me of playing Darkwood Well done man, this gave me the real spooky vibes I been craving

[@canofspam9357]

I LOVE stories about missing towns. Please do make more of them!

[@fatherstrong6180]

Easily one of the best readers ever , such a great voice such great production !

[@ma.cristinasaavedra7432]

I love narrations like this. Always makes me feel like I'm in it.

[@therealHogmaNtheIntruder]

Not usually a fan of voice actors in these, but Romnex killed it. Well done.

[@finnsunlin2953]

This is my favorite story you’ve ever done next to the mimic one, I don’t know why but I just love it.

[@keystep8669]

Dude no wonder the audio on this one was hard. The work around 24:00 is insane!

[@mr.smitherine1913]

The writing on this one left something to be desired but the narration, as always, was peak

[@ImGoinHammy]

Iight so this was definitely a trippy one.. but I always like the format of like a found diary or whatever, which this pretty much is. And the story telling is terrific, as always!

[@Darksomnium]

Ty! :)

[@Ap3xloveLett3r]

Crazy how I can live out the whole story in my head while listening to this with my eyes closed

[@nccarlinncc]

omg is the roar at 30:40 a pitched wail from the tripods from War of The Worlds? you clever man, you. this is exactly what puts you a step above the rest!

[@jallybwan3767]

11:56 The cut in the music followed by that subtle sting was beautifully done.

[@lukezW04LDn0t]

i find it strange how i find stories like these more interesting then scary, the narration really gives me the type of vibe i’m looking for

[@keelanbrown7747]

Only your channel can cause genuine and anxiety enducing fear. The environment woven by your stories is perfect enough for me to slip deep into focus, and let reality fade and give way to the world in-between the words. This was the first creepypasta I listened to before slipping down a rabbit hole and a journey of gaming and listening followed. I came back to listen again and this made me sweat just as hard as it did the first night I heard it. Truly the best creepypasta channel I've found yet.

[@terra4132]

Bro love the narration and the story, could you do some forest ranger or military story’s in the future please

[@Darksomnium]

sure!

[@benjaminlawrence2752]

Why is this guy so good at telling a story

[@kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934]

When I was young, my parents could be quite scary also. :-\ I loved this story it hit me in my inner child and that’s a special kind of fear.. lordy this was scary

[@Frost-fw4eg]

Listening to these stories helps me do my homework! Thanks for making these stories!

[@tommargarites2811]

Loved this story, I hope there is at some point a continuation, of it, as it sounds like there could be more story for it.

[@orbitingori2354]

I've been looking for a good creepy pasta all night and finally found one!! I love the sound effects this channel is amazing!!

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you so much :)

[@robynsmith4164]

‼️This was an amazing story! I really hope this turns into a series if it hasn’t already. You know the large insects/aliens are going to move onto the next town once they’ve finished off every human in that tiny town! TDS, PLEASE let us know if there is going to be more to this story! 😁 I pray that you (ROMNEX) and your loved ones are staying happy and healthy! ♥️ Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴

[@luisburciaga1230]

Damn, I really like how you read stories. The music and sound effects are on point and the voices, oh my god you implement the voices really fucking good. That's one of my biggest gripes with channels having other people voice characters, they're always so bad it takes me out of the story, but the way you do it is truly cinematic. Ay you got yourself another subscriber homie. Keep up the good work

[@TheWholetaco]

Didn’t know I needed this KZbin channel till I heard this video. Found a new obsession 😂

[@Darksomnium]

[@subnautios7023]

The sound during the supermarket scene is the best I've ever heard. Good job.

[@Rebel084]

Literally just told a coworker I hoped a new story got uploaded. My hope has been answered

[@somehollowknightfan9243]

I nearly fell asleep, his voices are comforting. I used to be scared of these, now I find them interesting as hell!

[@JANK_AF]

I read this on Reddit a couple months ago and I was really into it. I don’t think I finished it so I’m looking forward to hearing the rest later tonight.

[@christianxaviar8955]

Very macabre, but good so far. Your narrations are soothing

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you kindly!

[@Chancey464]

You accurately got my heart ❤ beating, never listened to an audio before, no distraction of pictures, just your voice. BRAVO 💜

[@Therex3232]

A tad coincidental that my county had a 10 hour power outage today… Long time lover of these videos thank you so much for your content and your oddly helpful sleep aid haha 🖤🖤🖤
