I sometimes think about this.

- rec by Tim and steven universe ref.


This is a really short story, so you can finish it in about 10 min. and enjoy the art and such in that time easily.

I seen references to this story after watching Steven Universe and decided to read it for myself. There is a fault that opened up that has human silhouette holes in them that are too deep to even be calculated. Scientists are baffled because of how strange this event is and it gets weirder as people come from all around searching for their holes. Many of them go in never to be seen again..did they die? Where did they go? It's a mystery...yet people are compelled to go into these holes even though it basically means death for them. The ending is super unsettling and fantastic, the mystery in this book leaves me thinking and it's definitely one I will remember! ~Ashley

If you like short horror or unsettling stories you might like to check out The Lottery

I’ve never read an Ito book that has made me as physically ill as Gyo did. It is the pinnacle of horror.

Flatulating spindly-legged monsters with tubes up their butts? Hilarious with a heaping side of what the fuck
