    Now THAT is an opening line...
    I especially like the detail that the alternate timeline has a turkey instead of an eagle. I remember hearing in school that Benjamin Franklin had argued for the turkey to be the national bird but he was outvoted. The dueling narratives really sell this story.

      But actually he had a good case for arguing for the turkey. Turkies are native to North America, whereas bald eagles are originally from Europe. It's surprising to me that they went with the *European* bird instead after having gained independence from England...

    This is a really good take on the whole 'doppelganger' or 'evil twin' concept, where it's more about the place than the double themselves. The different perspectives help sell the other Scott as a person rather than a vague malevolent entity, which makes it a lot more interesting for this type of story.

      absolutely not, they are all just accepting of murdering children for "the door". original Scott even said something about (if you want to come back and what it would entail). they all have to live with that guilt now. i cannot see any of them as a person. i disagree respectfully.

      yeah I get really tired of how morally black and white so much of fiction is recently I feel like, it seems much worse than when I was a kid. Everyone wants a simplistic "good vs. evil" narrative where they can identify with the "good guy" to feel justified in all their prejudices about the world. I don't know if it's more a symptom of how polarized everything is nowadays, or if it's actually *contributing* to that mentality itself, maybe a little of both?

For those who don't know, that is the name given in universe to Bilbo's and later Frodo's and finally Sam's journal/memoirs, where they tell the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the RIngs, and - again, in universe- was studied and translated by Tolkien, and then published as The Hobbit and LoTR.

No surprise there) into doing the dirty work for her, so she doesn't have to feel responsible (even though it was her idea).
      And then she loses respect for him and dumps him. Classic.

    "People gossiping, eating donuts, talking about what they were doing for their vacation in two weeks or their daughters wedding last month.
    Even the work- related stuff was done in such a mundane and civil manner that it felt surreal..
    Much as i enjoy it, though, by the end of the day i have to get home and be alone. Being around people to long even normal people that probably won't *suddenly* start screaming or trying to kill you IS hard for me.. Im not used to that anymore, and i may never be again."

    I just wanted to say, I recently found this channel and have been thoroughly impressed and satisfied :>
    After listening to the same creepypasta narrator for years and years, I started finding the story selection to be stale, and figured I started to grow out of creepypastas.
    But after listening to the No Sleep Radio for a few nights as I sewed, I've developed a whole new interest that I haven't felt since I was a kid..!!
    I absolutely LOVE the story selection here, and I totally missed hearing sound effects. Your sound design in "Burgrr Entries" had a complete hold on me, I haven't been disturbed by a pasta in a good amount of years ;v;
    I love the sound, and the music, and not to mention the voice acting.
    Needless to say I will be listening to this channel as my main source of audio entertainment now :> (especially since I've lost respect and trust in the old channel I used to subscribe to) I'm so relieved and happy to find a channel that I'm proud to support, and with so much talent..! Thank you so much for everything you do. Because of you I can rest easy knowing I'm supporting someone who deserves it. ^^

    That story was very interesting. I loved the vibe with the music, as always. Narration was impeccable and the feelings of uncanny within the other world were there.
    The duality of those realities, but also the oddities over there.
    I'd love a story focused upon the bizarre stuff of this alternate and broken reality.

    Wow this was really great! The twisting character progression was done really well, from Not Scott being friendly then evil by trapping Scott and Christine in the other world and then finding compassion and reason through his experience with his new dog, Christine and Scott going from nice people to terrified and willing to deceive and end an innocent life to get home, to the door reopening at the end having us almost rooting for it to be Not Scott but never knowing, just really awesome story overall :)

  • @lialaokami

    This story was probably one of the most emotionally impactful pasta's I've ever heard, holy shit. Your take on it was amazing as always of course! I work as a professional dog bather and work with all kinds of dogs, so it honestly really surprised me that the dog sound effect you used was actually one that belonged to a pug or pug-type dog specifically, I feel like a lot of creators wouldn't have gone to that extra length for the immersion and it's astounding that you do!
    What I can't stop wondering though is like.. what happened after Not-Scott came back through the door? I know you aren't the author or anything but w9ehusdfiejtgdf I can't get that out of my head. I really wonder if there are any theories out there on that?

    This story was absolutely insanely good. One I'll think about for days and will likely will always be on the back of my mind.

    I have to say it genuinely adds SO MUCH to the narrative that he explained why the other accounts were included in his story. No stories really do that if they switch perspective, but it helped to not break immersion here.
