Jamie had been working away in her document for a few minutes when she first started to notice that something was different. She couldn't place it at first, but an odd movement in her peripheral vision caused her to look at the video properly for the first time. Something was wrong.
Thanks as always for sharing these. Another excellent one - love the extra layer of all those other viewers in it together. I’m noticing some of these are falling into a really well aligned theme that could be great for an anthology, too.
The way this starts to amp up the intensity at the end was just amazing. It's so fascinating to see the different ways suspense can be ratchetted up in such short reads!
Read this when it came out, it continues to live rent free in my head and I still can't watch the lofi girl on youtube without imagining her turning to look at camera XD a story with definite staying power, I doff my cap to you good sir!
i just love the tiny details in these stories that make them feel so real. the dental ad, the candle, the cat in the video, its all recognisable and great worldbuilding. i love when short stories have worldbuilding.

Oh no
Way too good and way too real; having to write a 3,000 word essay on James Joyce’s Ulysses can and will do that to a person

Loved this. I haven’t read the previous ones yet, but after reading this one, I’ll definitely be catching up. Can’t wait for the rest.

Amazing work. I love getting fully pulled in the world and story each time. Seeing the notification pop up for these is a highlight of my week
Wow. Very glad you are publishing these essays, and I'm having fun reading them aloud with my husband.
Really enjoyed this one, though the ending(while very good) felt a little abrupt. Great work all the same and I'm excited to read the next one <3
Excellent work!
I think this is the creepiest one yet. I got goosebumps.
Quite good; love how it stays small and personal, including the impact at the end, but then you see it's also been a widespread thing. Unsettling!
Andy yet again displays his mastery of two dialects - Classical English, and Internet Chat. Showing strong fundamentals in murder, too.
The end really gave me the shivers. Great work!
