Unfortunately once you start getting networks and monetary interests (monetary interests outside of compensation for the writer/creators) things get ruined. It would be great if some people from the community would get together with some of the writers and some talented animators. If you take all the material from Reddit alone you would have material for the next decade or more. Hell, you could have a streaming service strictly dedicated to Creepy Pasta lore. But it would be crucial to keep it in the community. Once the money obsessed elites get their beady little eyes on it they could care less about the original intent, and even less about the original fans. All they see is dollar signs which means marketing it to the shallow and the stupid.
@@winstonwins1096 you're 100% right, I know there's tons of incredibly talented fans in this community, and it would be awesome to start a huge project like that, especially with so much material to work with in this story. I've been tempted to try sketching the different bottles just due to how thorough the descriptions are. But yeah, we can't let any big Corp find this gem, they'd probably hire Dwayne Johnson or something 😂
I actually hated it the first time i listened to this for that reason. It felt too action packed for a creepy pasta story like it was intended to have visuals but lacked them. And it still reads that way but tjlea's works eventually grew on me and now he's one of my favorite writers. Funnily enough the nightmare fighting championship story he wrote is one of my all time favs. Currently listening to this for a third time
I honestly wasn’t expecting it to end there. It felt like it could have just continued for ever. The writing and pacing was very well-done, and I’ll give all due props to the author, but the arrangement and the mastering was far beyond wonderful. I would love to read and follow this story on every tangent where it may turn.

I love, love, LOVE the relationship Sully has with his patrons. He himself is also an awesome main character to listen to, and the way he uses the drinks to deal with customers feel so... "badass' for some reason.
Every time this story is on I usually fall asleep and never have time to finish it. Dark somniums voice always luls me to sleep. Tonight though I managed to stay awake for the entire story....I had the perfect story, a perfect story teller along with a great heavy thunderstorm.... Thank you for my most perfect night!
My reaction throughout the story CHEDDAR😌👍 CHEDDAR😈😄 CHEDDAR😓😪 CHEDDAR😭🥺 Cheddar...😭😭😭😭😭 What a good boy. What an amazing story. What an amazing narration. I usually don’t get this invested in these internet stories but this one... this one hurt hard. Every character was so well written and I was crying so hard by the end of the entire thing. Never have I ever heard a story so amazing from a creepy pasta like channel. I didn’t want it to ever end. Sullivan was an amazing main character. Nelly was a superb mentor. Kraus was an amazingly written friend. And cheddar. What can I even say about cheddar. The bestest boy. The goodest boy. I think my entire dorm heard me just repeating the word cheddar. I’ll have to listen to this story again. Exemplary work by you who took me into this story and completely immersed me. If you have any way to reach out to the author, tell him what an amazing talented person he truly is. Everyone who worked on this project blows all expectations for “creepypasta” narration and writing out of the water. Wow. Just wow.
28 minutes in and I'm like, I don't care if my house is on fire nothing is pulling me away from this phone until I've listened thru to this entire story...yo storytelling skills are superb, and this story is interesting as shit.
I am completely speechless!!! I don’t think any words can do justice to the amazing way this story is both written and narrated...the depth of the story is insurmountable! I’m in love with both this autos and you! You are by far my absolute FAVORITE!!!!!! You are so gifted and completely incredible! Please don’t ever stop narrating these incredible stories😘😘😘😘😘😘
I listenee to the one about the quantum computer that can communicate with God or get his attention and swear to God its 30 mins and I listened to 30 ads amazing stories but I had to drop a comment saying I get you gotta make money but I know iv factually seen more than 20 ads this I kinda ridiculous at this point
I kept putting off watching this one, finally watched it today. I wish I had listened earlier. I deprived myself of this masterpiece. It's not often a story makes me cry but I boohooed at this one. The writer did a great job of making you feel their bonds. I really enjoyed this one.
I absolutely agree! Those details are excellent. I also love the muffled voice and bottles being opened, also love how the bottles and glasses clink and I can tell me apart, the sound of pouring (I can hear it being poured over the ice!) and Cheddar's nails on the floor. It's awesome that it actually sounds like he's moving around and changing location and how it changed during the part when he was a puppy :D
This is one of the greatest story’s ever told. And it was preformed spectacularly. The dark somnium is a great story teller. And the rest of the cast did amazing with this! I hope there is more like this in the future.
This is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever heard. Humble all the way through, it was thought provoking, emotionally intellectual and ever surprising. The execution was borderline perfection and I would gladly dub this as an experience and not just a story. I thank everyone in this production for giving it their best effort to make this something truly, wholly special.
It’s very rare that an author can make you care so much using so few words, but I found myself caring for sully and hoping that he’d make it through the ordeal all while questioning what the hell was going on. This is a fantastic story, one that I shall certainly enjoy again.
I almost cried at the end. I’m also curious if the Hotel segment at the end will become a video on its own. A sort of different look on the world this author created. And having you as the narrator again would be absolutely amazing.
based on a true story sadly. I read one story as a kid about a loyal doggo in Scotland who slept on his dead masters grave until he too passed, fed by the local grave yard steward and family, Apparently there is still a small statue and placard to this day.
The narrator, the author, the voice acting. A movie could never be equal or do this a justice. Close your eyes and imagine it yourself. I guarantee we all see this differently. Perfection.
There wasn't a single ad on Spotify and for that I'm so grateful because I didn't stop and game. This time around I had more tears and I actually remembered all the individual names each time around. And SPIRIT VOICES! I'll always remember her as the mother voice and she has a soft spot in my heart haha
“She interlocked her fingers with mine, saying:” “YOU KNOW, RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN PLAYING MOBILE GAMES, BUT ULALA-“ Gotta love well timed ads, right? Beautiful story and delivery. I felt it in my chest, this time for emotional reasons. Well worth the run time.
Hell yeah a movie needs to be done for this story I've listened to a ton of stories insomnia is great but dam wonderful narration I couldn't stop listening had me on the edge from start to finish
@@Jack-qc3jt Last Sin Eater - Romnex (Occasional cameos on this channel, DarkSommnium voices one of the characters in the video) [Backstory about Nelle Lockwood] My family has a tortoise that produces tarot cards - Romnex
7th time I've listened to this!! this story is beyond fantastic! Has this author written anything else!! Amazing narration and acting.. better evert week!
wow man, the personality, the charm, the emotion, everything. Dark Somnium deserves all of the praise. he made this a tale, not just some story. that ending made me bawl, im not gonna lie. thank you for continuing to make these amazing videos.
This is one of the most astoundingly surreal stories I have ever heard and the level of emotion and voice acting out into this makes every second of a long video worth it. While you have always been one of my preferred content creators for scary and interesting tales this is on a whole other level. So let me tell you a story, so we can all pour up a drink
Every single character in this is absolutely iconic!! Sully an his undying love for Naia (Neya?), trans icon Krauss, badass monster hunter Nelle, and bestest boy Cheddar. Absolutely amazing story and narration!!!
Man!! It feels like I'm sitting there at the corner of that bar observing the interactions between the characters. The narration created an almost realistic feels to the story. The writer and the storyteller created such a wonderful piece. I hope to hear more interesting and wonderful stories from this channel.
Dear Dark Somniun, once again you have produced such a high quality audio drama ("narration" is too insufficient a word to describe your content). Your efforts are much appreciated! What a fantastic story - thanks to the author as well.
I like this story. It's pretty daring for the author to write a "conclusion" that hints at a long story while still being self-contained without breaking the narrative. I love your narration and the sound effects are spot on. Another success in a long line of great performences on your part :)
When she mentioned the dog being the thing she left behind for Sullivan I cried lol. After me and my ex broke up I found this kitten on the side of the highway, 5 weeks old ish when I found him. Now he’s my best buddy. I don’t know it just brought back a lot of memories I’ve tried to suppress, this story was a masterpiece
So I just finished the Nightmare tournament and started this one. Realizing the familiar character names I immediately got excited. I’m not sure if this is all one universe but I’m hooked. Amazing work!
Yes, I believe it is all one universe, and if I'm not mistaken, I do believe that I heard (within the last few months, I think) that the author is working on more stories within this universe, and that they'll be working with Ronnie (AKA, Dark Somnium) on narrating and producing said future stories. I can't wait!!!
At the end of the video he says that there are spin-off stories set in the same universe written by the author. I think he left the link in the description
Great story here. All of the voice actors did a great job. I come in thinking I'm getting a creepy pasta and walk out having heard an epic short story. Poor Cheddar though.
I really liked this one. It actually had a deep story and most of all, it ended with closure. No open ending that leaves the listener with no answers. Thank you for this one.
This place reminds me of the bar from the movie, The Last Witch Hunter. The bar for witches only where the drinks are magical and have special effects. I really wish I could visit such a place. That would be so cool! Lol
I think this was the most original story I've heard in a long time. So many stories I read, watch or listen to are nauseatingly predictable. With this story I got to suspend reality and escape for my troubles for a little while. Thank you
Beyond fantastic. This is right up there with your narration of the left right game. The detail and work you put into these, put you into a class of your own. These stories you read help me get through each day. My life has been very difficult these last few years. But I know i always have something to look forward to. Thank you for that and God bless you.
Hey buddy i dont know if things have gotten better for u i hope so but regardless remember to stay strong. I've also suffered allot during my life so i understand, just remember to push through cuz one day your gonna look back and realise those hard times ultimately made u stronger and wiser. Much love🤝❤️
So well written and acted, and yet whomever chose the precise timing of the ads deserves night terrors for how jarring it is from such an amazing tale.
Just got into the whole creepy pasta thing and I have to say you do a great job man. I'm addicted to stories now. I've listened to a bunch of different narrators but your voice and the way you put so much work into it and have other people doing the other voices is awesome. I'm hooked.
I couldn't agree more. Just started listening to them and DS is definitely my favorite. His narration is captivating where some others you could fall asleep listening to because their voice never changes
this one hit hard, added on with Dark Somnium's S+++ tier take on the story made it feel like a book you're really into, that you don't want to end, good job! hope you have a great future career as one of the best creepypasta readers (not sure what you would call it)!
Holy crap, I wasn’t ready for this to be over with. Incredibly written, narrated beautifully, music and sound effects spot on! Amazing!! Damnnnnnn. Great work, everyone! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The thing I’ve found about this community is that I not only love dark somnium for the same reasons, but also that the community is one of if not the most positive youtube communities I have ever seen.
This is truly the only story I've listened to that was able to bring a tear to my eyes.... When Craus figured out that Sully wasn't going to be comin back and Cheddar was howling....... Fook me!!! I couldn't hold back. Every single time I listen to it I get to this point and the tears are just there..... And I am by no means the emotional, crying type. But this grabs me by the soul every time ..... I guess that is one of the main reasons why I've listened to this one so many times. I wish I could like it again and again!!! This and the stories of "Braun" are my fave!!! Well, I also Love "The Devil's Due"!!! That's also another fave of mine!!! These are amazing stories, no matter what shat I talk during the story!!! A truly talented writer!!! Thank You for All of your hard work to bring us these amazing stories and also the Narration of these!!! A perfect pairing!!! And I also dislike multiple narrators in the same story. Not a fan of collabs so far, but I have to say, these are AMAZING AF!!! Thank You!!!
I’ve got a confession, I put off watching this one for a long time bc the title didn’t tickle my fancy and I didn’t think I’d like it, but boy, I can’t tell you how happy I am to be proven wrong. This one has easily taken the top spot as my favorite. It’s much less abt the horror, but bittersweet action and love. There aren’t any words to tell you how much I enjoyed this, but I’ll pick a few; good job
I am speechless the story and characters are amazing! I only rarely find characters in a story that I really like and can relate to. The soundeffects add so much to the story as well! 10/10 would listen again
Somnium... once again, your brilliant narrations of such amazing stories have brought me to tears. This channel, You, Romnex, the author, and all others who help in the making of such beautiful works of art have my deepest thanks. For sharing these gifts with everyone and allowing us all to enjoy their works.
Wow. A creepypasta has never made my eyes water and my throat tighten. This is BY FAR the best creepypasta I’ve had the pleasure of listening too. Much credit to the story tellers. Aswell as to teejaylea for the incredible talent who has written this masterpiece. I hope to hear more stories from you in the future, hoping with thedarksomnium genius voicing the story. Stories like this make me wish a reality like this was possible
I have listened to a lot of your stories but this one has definitely taken a spot in my top picks. I fell in love with all the characters. I especially liked the scene with "slaughterhouse Krauss"❤
I stumbled onto this and started listening just to check it out. It is now 2:30 am and I was mesmerized until the end. A perfect end too. I just wish cheddar could be happy too.
I've listened to this story about ten times. It never gets old is my top 3 favorite stories I've came across and I've easily listened to 1000+ hours of you and mr creeps.
Oh wow! I just realized this was the 1st CreepyPasta I ever listened to. I used to watch a ton of horror short films. From that UA-cam recommended this story. And BOOM! I was hooked. And I remain hooked.
Thanks! I enjoy listening to you read aloud. It soothes my chaotic mind whenever it won't stop.. Your story telling creates vivid visions in my mind's eye that takes me away from everything g going on in my life....
This is one of the best stories I've ever heard. It reminds me of an old-time radio show, with the sound effects, background conversations. I will come back to this again.
Been waiting for the completed version lol. I love all your stories but with the multiple chapters I always wait until the completed version is out so I can enjoy it all at once.
This has always been one of the best stories you've ever done and a complete favorite of mine. I've come back to it multiple times and it's just perfection. From the actors, audio, to the story itself, it felt like a movie. And the end got a homie crying in the club. Beautifully written
This reminded me of Death Parade. Themes like amnesia bring out true character in the face of a horrible fate. All wrapped up in the setting of a supernatural art deco bar. This story is brilliant, but the audio is very unstable. I found some parts to be so loud I had to turn the volume down, other parts so quiet I had to turn the volume up. The delivery was all over the place, diminishing the promise that the story holds.
I will never stop saying about how this story would do so well as a movie or anime, like, OMG dude this story made me laugh, cry, gasp. It NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE,
this was the best story i have ever heard, I felt like I was in the bar at a table no one could see, just watching the whole thing, tears rollin down my face....fuck......the voice acting was incredible, it really perfected the authors story in so many ways, wow.......
I need stories like this in my life I was so engrossed in this I listened to half of it at work and didn't 3ven listen to music my whole hour drive home and finished this. Absolutely love this channel and I love finding these gems
😲 this story is phenomenal, I was enamored from the beginning. This just randomly came on my playlist I wasn't thinking much of it but by the end of the first story I was hooked. I listened to the ending at work and had to stop myself from crying! Absolutely loved it. Kind of wish a bar like that actually existed.
This was the BEST story i have ever heard. I got so invested in the characters. I have never bee so immersed in a story. I was so sad when i got to the end.
Came back to reread all of tj’s stories you and rom have adapted after I read the NFC and I can’t understand how so much emotion can be put into something. I mean every word felt so real you guys are absolutely amazing and can’t wait to see what you guys do next and the next tj’s adaptation!
Man this has got to be my seventh time listening to this story. I have to say as if it gets better and better each time. Closed my eyes and it's almost like being there. Great story.
This writer is insanely talented. This story coupled with Dark Somnium's auditory genius is perfect match.
Yes
This and “I work at a secret government facility” both were masterpieces worthy of a show
Sully's death made me cry, not gonna lie. His voice just enhances everything so much

Hell yeah a movie needs to be done for this story I've listened to a ton of stories insomnia is great but dam wonderful narration I couldn't stop listening had me on the edge from start to finish
I don't believe a movie could do it justice! The human mind creates way better visuals! And each to the perspective of the listener
Just finished The Nightmare Fighting Tournament and had to come back to this one. I forgot how good these stories are.
what video is that
@@JunkNetwork123 The Nightmare Fighting Tournament is the name of the video
Yo do you know if there is any other stores connected to the nightmare fighting tournament?
@@Jack-qc3jt I’ll have to look into it, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were.

Last Sin Eater - Romnex (Occasional cameos on this channel, DarkSommnium voices one of the characters in the video) [Backstory about Nelle Lockwood]
My family has a tortoise that produces tarot cards - Romnex
Listened to this a year back and can still say that first CHEDDAR CLEAN UP is still mf amazing.
When I heard Nel’s last name was Lockwood I knew she was a legend. Obviously a descendant of Flint Lockwood
Is that a reference to another story?
It's a gun reference
Flint Lockwood is the protagonist of both "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" movies
Cloudy!!!!
Also, she's the protagonist of the story "the last sin eater"
" it was cheddar". Bro I am sobbing.
Me to...holy hell that was a heavy ass ending to a PHENOMENAL story
No? She created cheddar so he wouldn't be lonely. Pay attention it's a good story 😂😭
I was holding together until that line. Now I'm sobbing 😭
Re-listening to this makes me even more sure that this needs to be a movie. I will happily rob ALL the banks to make it happen.
Ill drive
I'll do gunner
I'll bring the snacks
LoLz I second that emotion 🤪🤣
“See Sully? No spaces in between us…anymore”. My body just erupted into chills holy fudge knuckles. Coming back to these old stories is wonderful
7th time I've listened to this!! this story is beyond fantastic! Has this author written anything else!! Amazing narration and acting.. better evert week!
Same, think this is my fifth time listening and damn do I love it! I'm still trying to figure out some of the finer parts of the story!
Yes if you listen right to the end, it mentions it, but it doesn’t mention the story title unfortunately
wow man, the personality, the charm, the emotion, everything. Dark Somnium deserves all of the praise. he made this a tale, not just some story. that ending made me bawl, im not gonna lie. thank you for continuing to make these amazing videos.
This is one of the most astoundingly surreal stories I have ever heard and the level of emotion and voice acting out into this makes every second of a long video worth it. While you have always been one of my preferred content creators for scary and interesting tales this is on a whole other level.
So let me tell you a story, so we can all pour up a drink
Every single character in this is absolutely iconic!! Sully an his undying love for Naia (Neya?), trans icon Krauss, badass monster hunter Nelle, and bestest boy Cheddar. Absolutely amazing story and narration!!!
I HAD A HUNCH THAT KRAUSS WAS TRANS IM THRIVING
@@Gamfluent if you listened to the story you would have got it on the first read.
@@Gamfluent I need to see that because these characters are all perfect
Am I blind or something? I've searched for a while and I just can't find anything about that!
Neeeevermind, I found it! Amazing!
Man!! It feels like I'm sitting there at the corner of that bar observing the interactions between the characters. The narration created an almost realistic feels to the story. The writer and the storyteller created such a wonderful piece. I hope to hear more interesting and wonderful stories from this channel.
I’m 12 minutes in and this is easily the best creepy pasta I’ve heard, as far as writing and narration.
Dang. This is outstanding
Dear Dark Somniun, once again you have produced such a high quality audio drama ("narration" is too insufficient a word to describe your content). Your efforts are much appreciated! What a fantastic story - thanks to the author as well.
thank you :)
I like this story. It's pretty daring for the author to write a "conclusion" that hints at a long story while still being self-contained without breaking the narrative.
I love your narration and the sound effects are spot on. Another success in a long line of great performences on your part :)
When she mentioned the dog being the thing she left behind for Sullivan I cried lol. After me and my ex broke up I found this kitten on the side of the highway, 5 weeks old ish when I found him. Now he’s my best buddy. I don’t know it just brought back a lot of memories I’ve tried to suppress, this story was a masterpiece
So I just finished the Nightmare tournament and started this one. Realizing the familiar character names I immediately got excited. I’m not sure if this is all one universe but I’m hooked. Amazing work!
Yes, I believe it is all one universe, and if I'm not mistaken, I do believe that I heard (within the last few months, I think) that the author is working on more stories within this universe, and that they'll be working with Ronnie (AKA, Dark Somnium) on narrating and producing said future stories. I can't wait!!!

"kindly remove your ass from off my bar. That's not sanitary"
I choked on my drink from my unexpected laughter😂 lol!
Does anyone else think it would be cool if there was a story from a different character’s perspective?
At the end of the video he says that there are spin-off stories set in the same universe written by the author. I think he left the link in the description

Great story here. All of the voice actors did a great job. I come in thinking I'm getting a creepy pasta and walk out having heard an epic short story. Poor Cheddar though.
I really liked this one. It actually had a deep story and most of all, it ended with closure. No open ending that leaves the listener with no answers. Thank you for this one.
Yaaaay! It turned out so great 💚
you did great! :)

This place reminds me of the bar from the movie, The Last Witch Hunter. The bar for witches only where the drinks are magical and have special effects. I really wish I could visit such a place. That would be so cool! Lol
Yess, I remember that movie! That was so cool!!
I think this was the most original story I've heard in a long time. So many stories I read, watch or listen to are nauseatingly predictable. With this story I got to suspend reality and escape for my troubles for a little while. Thank you
Went back to this story to rewatch the entire series!
GLORY TO THE NFC!
Beyond fantastic. This is right up there with your narration of the left right game. The detail and work you put into these, put you into a class of your own. These stories you read help me get through each day. My life has been very difficult these last few years. But I know i always have something to look forward to. Thank you for that and God bless you.
To this day that is not only my favorite story but my favorite video of all time. It is biblical and just incredible how it all ties together.
Remember my friend tough times don't last tough people do. Just hold on. Things will get better. God bless
I hope you feel better
Hey buddy i dont know if things have gotten better for u i hope so but regardless remember to stay strong.
I've also suffered allot during my life so i understand, just remember to push through cuz one day your gonna look back and realise those hard times ultimately made u stronger and wiser.
Much love🤝❤️
So well written and acted, and yet whomever chose the precise timing of the ads deserves night terrors for how jarring it is from such an amazing tale.
Just got into the whole creepy pasta thing and I have to say you do a great job man. I'm addicted to stories now. I've listened to a bunch of different narrators but your voice and the way you put so much work into it and have other people doing the other voices is awesome. I'm hooked.
I couldn't agree more. Just started listening to them and DS is definitely my favorite. His narration is captivating where some others you could fall asleep listening to because their voice never changes
I too have just started listening to these kinds of stories...Mr black pasta's narration's are REALLY good, as well
Same same, me too!! Im absoultly addicted now too💜💗💜💗💜💗
this one hit hard, added on with Dark Somnium's S+++ tier take on the story made it feel like a book you're really into, that you don't want to end, good job! hope you have a great future career as one of the best creepypasta readers (not sure what you would call it)!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Darksomnium you are my favorite creepypasta
@@cominmusicenjoier924 thank you so much!
I want the official title for creepypasta readers to be creepypasta chefs
This is my favourite episode out of all, I just keep going back to it again and again.
Holy crap, I wasn’t ready for this to be over with. Incredibly written, narrated beautifully, music and sound effects spot on! Amazing!! Damnnnnnn. Great work, everyone! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The thing I’ve found about this community is that I not only love dark somnium for the same reasons, but also that the community is one of if not the most positive youtube communities I have ever seen.
One of the best stories I have ever heard and even better with the narration by Dark Somnium
This is truly the only story I've listened to that was able to bring a tear to my eyes.... When Craus figured out that Sully wasn't going to be comin back and Cheddar was howling....... Fook me!!! I couldn't hold back. Every single time I listen to it I get to this point and the tears are just there..... And I am by no means the emotional, crying type. But this grabs me by the soul every time ..... I guess that is one of the main reasons why I've listened to this one so many times. I wish I could like it again and again!!! This and the stories of "Braun" are my fave!!! Well, I also Love "The Devil's Due"!!! That's also another fave of mine!!! These are amazing stories, no matter what shat I talk during the story!!! A truly talented writer!!! Thank You for All of your hard work to bring us these amazing stories and also the Narration of these!!! A perfect pairing!!! And I also dislike multiple narrators in the same story. Not a fan of collabs so far, but I have to say, these are AMAZING AF!!! Thank You!!!
If this were made into a tv series, I wouldn’t miss it! This is such a great story and concept.
I’ve got a confession, I put off watching this one for a long time bc the title didn’t tickle my fancy and I didn’t think I’d like it, but boy, I can’t tell you how happy I am to be proven wrong. This one has easily taken the top spot as my favorite. It’s much less abt the horror, but bittersweet action and love. There aren’t any words to tell you how much I enjoyed this, but I’ll pick a few; good job
I am speechless the story and characters are amazing! I only rarely find characters in a story that I really like and can relate to. The soundeffects add so much to the story as well! 10/10 would listen again
Somnium... once again, your brilliant narrations of such amazing stories have brought me to tears. This channel, You, Romnex, the author, and all others who help in the making of such beautiful works of art have my deepest thanks. For sharing these gifts with everyone and allowing us all to enjoy their works.
Wow. A creepypasta has never made my eyes water and my throat tighten. This is BY FAR the best creepypasta I’ve had the pleasure of listening too. Much credit to the story tellers. Aswell as to teejaylea for the incredible talent who has written this masterpiece. I hope to hear more stories from you in the future, hoping with thedarksomnium genius voicing the story. Stories like this make me wish a reality like this was possible
We all love Cheddar
My eyes filled with tears as Sully said “I chose me”...💜
I have listened to a lot of your stories but this one has definitely taken a spot in my top picks. I fell in love with all the characters. I especially liked the scene with "slaughterhouse Krauss"❤
I stumbled onto this and started listening just to check it out. It is now 2:30 am and I was mesmerized until the end. A perfect end too. I just wish cheddar could be happy too.
I've listened to this story about ten times. It never gets old is my top 3 favorite stories I've came across and I've easily listened to 1000+ hours of you and mr creeps.
Oh wow! I just realized this was the 1st CreepyPasta I ever listened to. I used to watch a ton of horror short films. From that UA-cam recommended this story. And BOOM! I was hooked. And I remain hooked.
I sincerely hope this writer knows how incredible their work is. I could picture all of it and I hope they get to make something of their creativity
The main villains voice sounds like a Disney villain to me for some reason.
Well it reminds me of the villan from the movie of Jack the skeleton
Who voiced him?
Probably reminds you of Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog
i hear it too
Gentrification
i feel like i should have to pay for this quality
Aw
Thanks!
I enjoy listening to you read aloud. It soothes my chaotic mind whenever it won't stop.. Your story telling creates vivid visions in my mind's eye that takes me away from everything g going on in my life....
Same here
This is one of the best stories I've ever heard. It reminds me of an old-time radio show, with the sound effects, background conversations. I will come back to this again.
Been waiting for the completed version lol. I love all your stories but with the multiple chapters I always wait until the completed version is out so I can enjoy it all at once.
Why can’t I stop listening to these?!?! There just too damn addicting!
This has always been one of the best stories you've ever done and a complete favorite of mine. I've come back to it multiple times and it's just perfection. From the actors, audio, to the story itself, it felt like a movie. And the end got a homie crying in the club. Beautifully written
This reminded me of Death Parade. Themes like amnesia bring out true character in the face of a horrible fate. All wrapped up in the setting of a supernatural art deco bar. This story is brilliant, but the audio is very unstable. I found some parts to be so loud I had to turn the volume down, other parts so quiet I had to turn the volume up. The delivery was all over the place, diminishing the promise that the story holds.
The ending made me cry
OP did an amazing job writing and you did an excellent job telling the story
this kind of like a creepypasta version of a mix of the two animes The Bartender and Death Parade
I thought the same thing! Well, it made me think of death parade I don’t know what the bartender is.
Except this dude seems ridiculously awesome
6 minutes in and this story is already one of my favorites to listen back again. Congratulations.
Whoever does all the female parts in your videos is just as good as you! You guys compliment each other very well. Its perfection 💋! Thank you
I will never stop saying about how this story would do so well as a movie or anime, like, OMG dude this story made me laugh, cry, gasp. It NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE,
this was the best story i have ever heard, I felt like I was in the bar at a table no one could see, just watching the whole thing, tears rollin down my face....fuck......the voice acting was incredible, it really perfected the authors story in so many ways, wow.......
I need stories like this in my life I was so engrossed in this I listened to half of it at work and didn't 3ven listen to music my whole hour drive home and finished this. Absolutely love this channel and I love finding these gems
😲 this story is phenomenal, I was enamored from the beginning. This just randomly came on my playlist I wasn't thinking much of it but by the end of the first story I was hooked. I listened to the ending at work and had to stop myself from crying! Absolutely loved it. Kind of wish a bar like that actually existed.
Not gonna lie. This one got me teary. You have some serious talent as a storyteller.
This was the BEST story i have ever heard. I got so invested in the characters. I have never bee so immersed in a story. I was so sad when i got to the end.
I love this story I really do I think I've listened to it five times thank you so much
Thank you Mary:)
Came back to reread all of tj’s stories you and rom have adapted after I read the NFC and I can’t understand how so much emotion can be put into something. I mean every word felt so real you guys are absolutely amazing and can’t wait to see what you guys do next and the next tj’s adaptation!
