      @@loturzelrestaurant Who would do any of those things? Sure the hospital might look into your skin condition but the second you say a word about eyes and shit coming out of the walls you're gonna get tagged altered. Good luck with that. Thats assuming that they could even see it, this whole thing feels like a slow slip out of the world.
      Police would probably respond, eventually, with an eye roll and "we'll keep an eye out for Mr. Floppy-Man. Just don't try to fight him ok?"
      Reporters expect proof. Like actual photo evidence. Again a skin condition is interesting-ish but nothing more.

      I write this while being at 42:00:
      This has a lot of Amateur-writing, especially
      how weird the Protagonists and Antagonists behave.
      They never even mention Police or Hospital or Reporters
      as an Option.
      They also literally dont try or react like its even something
      to consider to call out to the Being that SPEAKS,
      when they FIRST meet something that SPEAKS.
      Thats totally unrealistic.
      I can get that you dont try to speak to 'Just Eyes on the Wall',
      even though many people, including me, would definetly try anyway,
      but not speaking to the first Being that Talks is just unrealistic.
      It all seems odd, but not in the way it wants to be odd.

      late comment but worth mentioning I think,
      around 55:58 take note that Cheshire says "see you on the other side", to me this implies they will indeed see each other again, also implying Waltz and Matilda may reunite again,
      or atleast that's what I interpret
      as to how long that will be, and how much has changed for them is unknown, but it does give a tiny little bit of hope.

When we arrived there, and this was same few weeks the plandemic had been set in motion. All the highways were hauntingly empty all the way from Oregon to Kentucky. By the time we made it to Kentucky, ⛽ fuel prices were just $1.50 per gallon. I have never paid such low prices in all of the time I have been driving.
      We made our way home to Oregon in February. ⛽ Fuel prices here are as usual, nearly $4.00 per gallon. When we spent this past November 1st-January 1st in Kauai Island🏝️, Hawaii, the furthest inhabitable island out and the most overpriced of the islands, not to mention the most rural and undeveloped, ⛽ fuel prices there were cheaper than they always are here in Oregon. I can't say if Oregon lowered prices of fuel during the thickest of the plandemic, but I would imagine not. We could really use an entirely new government here in Oregon. All the politicians in this state need to be replaced immediately by our current government officials polar opposites. Oregon is majestic. Demoncrats and some greedy, evil local tribes are responsible for and the ones making all of the money that can be made from clearcutting these ancient rainforests here. It is the most corrupt, hidden, evil, ugly, wicked, greedy, careless, vile, sad, and tragic thing that occurs in this state. Of course, it never makes the news... News!? Ha! What news?!

I mean the fermi paradox itself is based on the premise that planets are abundant and water aswell. All the chemicals for life as we know it really.
      Not saying we shouldn't or coulng rework the paradox to include these other things, however then it would definitely become more Sifi or even fantasy.

    Stories like this, as weird as it sounds, make me wish for fantastical or otherworldly things to exist. As terrifying as they can be there's so much left unknown that it leaves me wanting more and wanting to experience it myself, the whole SCP thing is another example of this for me. Great story and great narration.

    They weren't bad people
    They deserve a happy place and happy interactions with good entities and each other again, maybe it's asking far too much now but even might include the others from the chat in a gathering where they all explain how it started for them and their travels...

I hallucinate a fair bit, usually stuff like this. Its undiagnosed, although i have been referred which is nice. Its not all the time, but often enough for me to have a shakey view on reality. Often times i dont know what to believe, or whether or not i am just a little crazy. But this story generally helps me remember that im simply surrounded by stories. Its a good thought.

    That being said, I hate misleading titles. This was a very good, engrossing story, but only two lines discuss anything about the title. The author is very good, pretty sure I listened to another of his stories from Reddit /nosleep, but this deserves a better title. Something like "My New Eyes Have Seen the Horrors of our World" or "I Can See Again, But I May Be Losing My Grip on Reality". IDK, something along those lines.
    I really enjoyed your video, but the title kept bugging me and I kept expecting something different. It wasn't until the last third of (hour long, wow 👏) the story that I gave up and just enjoyed the story for what it was.

      They never even mention Police or Hospital or Reporters
      as an Option.
      They also literally dont try or react like its even something
      to consider to call out to the Being that SPEAKS,
      when they FIRST meet something that SPEAKS.
      Thats totally unrealistic.
      I can get that you dont try to speak to 'Just Eyes on the Wall',
      even though many people, including me, would definetly try anyway,

      @@loturzelrestaurant I understand the point that you are making but consider this, perhaps the author wrote his characters reaction to the unknown beings from their state of mind which seems to be varying degrees of panic and humans don't react to panic the same way, take for instance someone who was drafted into the army during a war, it's impossible to predict how that person will react when they're on the battlefield having bullets flying at them and bombs exploding all around them. Talking to the aliens isn't as much of a practical option as doing something that will help them stay alive, another possibility is that they don't try to communicate because of how the aliens reacted to them at first...
      Just thought I'd toss out a couple of reasons why they reacted the way they did as opposed to the way you presented so it wouldn't look as an illogical course of action as you said it appeared to you...
