r/shortscarystories 2 yr. ago ForgottenWell Profile Badge for the Achievement Top 1% Poster Top 1% Poster Sometimes infants don't survive... “Are we bad parents for buying generic formula?” “What do you mean?” I asked my wife, Amelia. She was gently rocking our newborn, examining two bulk sized containers of formula. The generic stuff and the name brand, which was almost twice as expensive. “It's like when you get an oil change,” she said, “and they ask ‘what type of oil do you want?’ And you say, ‘give me whatevers cheapest.’ You know that eventually the cheap stuff will screw up your engine, but you do it anyway. Only we’re basically doing that with our child… Does that make us bad parents?” “Honey,” I said, “we knew when we had this baby that we would have to make sacrifices.” I gently placed my hand on her shoulder. “Doing the best we can does not make us bad people.” She looked at me and smiled, grabbed the generic formula, and tossed it in our cart. I should mention that we didn’t plan on having this baby, and babies are—above all things—expensive. We had to move back in with my parents, take on a ton of medical debt. I had to sell my dream car. It made life hell. I suggested very early on that it might be better not to go through with the pregnancy, but Amelia said she could never end a child’s life… “Sometimes babies die for no reason, and it’s nobody’s fault.” The doctor is being as gentle as he can considering the situation. I held my wife as she bawled her eyes out. After all the sacrifices, our baby boy was taken from us anyway. Amelia wasn’t the same after that. Something changed. She got this idea in her head that it was the generic formula that did this to our boy. “I knew we should have got the expensive stuff! They put poison in the generic stuff and it killed our child!” I tried to kindly suggest that she was wrong, but she wouldn’t listen. Instead, I tried to distance myself, and hoped she would snap out of it. I came home from work one day to find multiple black vans parked outside my parent’s house. It was the FBI. Amelia had been running experiments in my parents basement, feeding all manner of critters formula in an attempt to prove it was poison. She was recording these experiments and putting them up on youtube. All of the animals died from malnutrition, which only further convinced her. Last night, she was caught trying to break into the manufacturer of the generic formula with a bomb. The FBI had to take her in for questioning. Later, I went to see her in a holding cell. “The FBI, they’re in on this! All these evil people just want poor people dead!” “Amelia,” I said, “I have something important I need to tell you, and you have got to listen to me.” “What?” “All this formula stuff isn’t real. And I know that because I’m the one who killed our baby.”

I haven’t had one in months My mommy and I work night and day Underneath the blazing sun I’m finally taking a shower today I say as I eat my gruel Mommy made a high pitched groan As sad as a dy1ng mule I’m finally taking a shower today I say to the workers outside As they shake my hand, I wonder Why did they tell me goodbye? I’m finally taking a shower today I say to the germαn soldier with a grin He smirks and opens the shower door Inviting me to come in I’m finally taking a shower today As my vision fades away A light comes towards me and I smile with glee I saw my Daddy today.

r/shortscarystories 2 yr. ago Feeling_Sky_7775 Today the popular girl befriended the weirdo Layla was the most popular girl at school. The girls idolized her, and the boys lusted after her. She sat with Arnold in algebra, but she strongly preferred not to. Arnold was “weird.” He was socially inept, smelled a bit funny, and would always read manga comics during study. Layla would occasionally strike conversation with him, but would soon regret when met with uncomfortable silence and awkward tension. Behind his back, Layla would mock him around her friends. She wasn’t sure why, probably because it made her feel superior. In turn, her friends would taunt him to his face. They’d do anything to impress her. She felt bad for enabling their behavior, but she got a thrill knowing they would follow her every move. It’ll toughen him up, she would tell herself. But, Layla decided today was different. Today, she wanted to be nice to Arnold. “Hi Arnold, how are you today?” “Hey Layla, I am okay.” A prolonged silence ensued. “Whatcha got there?” “Oh, it’s uh, nothing, it’s just uh some dumb comic book.” “I don’t think it’s dumb, let me see!” She feigned interest as she flipped through the pages. “This is cool! You should show me more after school sometime.” He shuffled around, turning red, visibly uncomfortable. “Um, yeah that would be cool.” She blinked flirtatiously. “Well maybe we could go on a date sometime, and you could show me then.” He let out a nervous laugh and nodded. Turning back to his desk, Layla could see him hiding his goofy smile. Today, Layla wanted to be nice to Arnold. Today, she wanted Arnold to like her. She hoped that Arnold would want to see her again. Because in class today, Layla caught a glimpse of the gun hiding in Arnold’s bag. Upvote 3.1K Downvote
