Yeah as a father of a son and daughter, I would have done the same and so much more! Don't mess with dad's happiness or our family 🤷♂️
Great story but so unlikely
How long did she let this baby stay in this water!? and eewww pond water
where the heck is my show? this is been around for way too long to disappear that would be really sad
top tier author AND some of the best narrators. their voices make me feel at home. I'm a nosleep freak
I love Aaron Vlek stuff. damn he's good
and one more dickless and bleeding hopeless and pleading😂🤣
a triangle severing a triangle severing a triangle that's poetic actually
a cuck Horror Story I never thought.. Kudos I guess I don't even know what to say and I'm rarely speechless I had to turn this shit down. every time somebody walks in I'm listening to some crazy shit and I'm like it's horror and they're like yeah right. but this time I would definitely be looked at real sideways😂
that's what some good coochie will do to you be warned
what an interesting mind this writer has. She's amazing
😂😂😂 just reminded me, I think I need to get some potatoes.
Mrs. Morrison's pie sure hit me right in the feels. Oddly sweet story that makes me want to hug my 18mo old granddaughter and make her some cookies. lol
Not only a great story, an even greater author interview following. I sincerely hope Vincent does turn this short story into a full novel at some point with or without a major book deal.
wow 😲, half tiny story, half insurance ad, both a little scary!!
Great stories!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow that first story was a lyrical Gem, you get the creepers from the quiet way it's spoken, thank you narrator!! Good quality horror does that to you, slow and insidious it meanders it's cold calculated way through the mind, and into your heart where the Pox of dread is spread, and shudder, but can't understand why!! Great stories, indeed a fine Halloween episode!!
