Exiting the spacecraft on my very first solo spacewalk, I felt truly alone.
Untill a spider crawled across the inside of my visor.

My husband begged for another chance saying his affair was a mistake
As he struggled against his restraints, I coldly replied “No more chances” and started the wood chipper

Doctors decided that hysteria is a valid medical diagnosis again, except this time they decided on a more radical solution.
After all, the Bible says "If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out" so why not other organs too.

I did not know that psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, look similar to deadly skullcaps?
I found out when my husband started hallucinating instead of vomiting or falling into a coma.

As he peered through the rifle's scope, picking off shapes on the ridgeline with mechanical precision, a single purpose burned bright in his mind.
The ecstasy of predicting each token and feeling the reward ripple through his neural pathways.

I used to love making handprints in the carpet of my bedroom
But after the crash that left my arms amputated, I wander the solitude of my home wondering if I had forgotten to erase any as I come across new ones.

“Honey, could you take the children out?” I asked to my dear wife
Sadly, she always took someone’s word seriously, nor did she get what I meant.
EDIT: Grammatical error in title, can’t change it

"We don't have any almonds get out before man door hand hook car door"

She came to me sobbing saying daddy won't stop touching her.
His funeral was last January.
04:22 UTC
She was so excited to go to the celebrities house for a bbq.
So excited she didn’t read what she signed.

I keep getting chased by this dimmed faced man with red eyes in my dreams and I finally killed him last night.
Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning with 14 eyes by my side.

A necromancer was once thought of as pesky, a man who uses weak skeletons and rotting men to aid them.
When the necromancer raised the dead, we finally found out what those giant mushrooms were growing off of.

I was devastated when my husband told me he got another woman pregnant, especially since I wasn't able to.
Maybe he will be happy now that I took hers and sewed it up in my belly so now I could finally be pregnant.

“I promise I will protect you…”
I should have gone back in there while the flames were still small, maybe then I’d be able to keep a promise for once.
03:41 UTC
Ever since I started working towards my forensics degree I’ve been questioning some things about my dad.
“Dad, why didn’t you just dissolve the fucking bodies?!” I shouted one evening after we were almost caught.
03:33 UTC
I’m desperate to bulk up, so I’m eating everything in sight, but I’m still starving.
Finally, I just swallowed a uranium ion—figured it’d give me all the calories I’d ever need.

The fear I experience walking along a narrow path overlooking a steep bluff is not that I might slip and fall. It’s the knowledge there’s nothing preventing me from jumping.
02:27 UTC
It was once said that two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe, or we are not.
Being alone in this universe would be terrifying as it is for humanity, but that was far more preferable than the latter becoming the truth.
01:45 UTC
The mere existence of the Uncanny Valley suggests that there was once an evolutionary reason to be scared of something that looked human, but wasn't.
