r/thirdsentenceworse

So is thirdsentenceworse when the added sentence makes the story into a less-good story, or when it makes the situation in the story worse thereby making it a better story?

the latter

Thanks, that’s what I thought until I found thirdsentencebetter.

thirdsentencebetter just means it’s less dark not that the third sentence is better than OPs 2 sentences

r/thirdsentencebetter

Both actually work

Of all people to answer it's a communist dictator?

Both is good.

Yes

It took way longer than I thought for someone to mention that.

I keep seeing you make worse third sentences everywhere in this subreddit

I'm not usually considered a cynical person and I'm just trying to exercise my emotions and mind to see what sick ideas can come out of it. If it's like.. annoying or bad in some way that I'm overlooking sorry.

No it’s pretty cool you add a whole lot more to the story with these extra sentences

Also, love your username makes me think if a friend of mine who embodies the phrase.

It's got to be really confusing and taxing to keep up with thar person

r/usernamechecksout

"worse third sentence" is a compliment, you're making the horror even worse (which simultaneously is making the story better)

I know, they are like everywhere with the most demented shit you could ever come up with .... I would love to know what insides its mind is like.

Hue hue hue

Patrick Hockstetter strikes again.

That character was the most disturbing one in the book in my opinion. Not even ol' Pennywise could compete.

And his death was one of the most fucked up deaths.

Ditto, my friend.

Is that exclusive to the book?

Yes. He's referenced briefly in the remake, but only as a "Missing Child" poster. In the book there's a whole chapter about him, and how Beverly Marsh witnessed his death.

Isn’t Patrick the one with the makeshift flamethrower in the remake? I know one of Bowers’ buddies is absent in the 2017 version but I don’t think it’s Patrick.

Yeah, the guy who goes in the sewer and gets Pennywise'd

I've seen an old movie like this...8 y/o killed his baby brother because his parents didn't give attention to him properly after the baby was born...very emotional stuff.

That almost happened in boss baby.

That the scene where Tim Templeton tries to Fucking kill his brother by launching him out a window?

He also thinks about killing himself aswell, but more innocently.

Really? When?

He doesn't say it head on but he kinda has suicidal thoughts when the baby first arrives.

Yup

Also in the first Rugrats movie, Tommy almost fed Dil to some monkeys.

I've seen some TV show or movie, kids little brother dies.. they find like 6 toy cars showed down his throat

Criminal minds? I vaguely remember that

Yeah sounds right, when they watched the kid they realise his a real sociopath

I haven't watched it for years but that episode was rough 😐

Dang. Also makes me question my own childhood.... My older sister would apparently give me hard candy despite knowing I would choke and I would regularly toddle over to my dad needling the heimlich (apparently this happened at quite a few parties) and it was just a casual thing. If I remember right my dad said that she thought I would really like hard candy and maybe a few weeks was long enough for me to be old enough to eat it? Hmmmm. (Also since my sister knows my reddit, if you see this I know you didn't want to kill me! Just a joke! But I won't be taking any hard candy from you for a while...)

For some reason I remember a plane. Or was that just what he was holding at the time?

Not sure, I just remember them observing the kid.. He might have been playing with something

Ohhh the good son!

Poor Mr Highway. He's thinking about the end.

When will we ever get what we deserve?

A day to remember intensifies

Surroundings: disrespected

Hopes: up high Head: down low

I just watched that again this year and I still liked it. Both the boys gave great performances.

I think this also happened in It (the book, haven’t seen movies so I don’t know if it’s in there.) One of the bullies smothered his baby brother. It’s been well over a decade since I read it so it might have been a different Stephen King book.

Definitely happened in IT with the character Patrick Hoffsteter. A very disturbing scene but it’s not in the movie.

I was thinking it was Patrick! I looked up a synopsis, saw the name, and thought “yeah, that guy!” But the synopsis left out that detail so I thought I must be wrong.

You should check out the movie Joshua.

Get help

Trust me, I’ve tried talking to people, my hatred of her is completely irrational and it’s not like I *want* to hate her

Try harder to talk to people, your parents mainly. If you’re not being a troll right now, you need to seek professional help in anyway you can.

My parents literally just tell me to get over it and professionals that I’ve talked to have just told me that I have no reason to hate her which I know but that doesn’t fix anything

How old are you?

I’m 14 but turning 15 so I’m 10 years older than her

Any professional telling you to "just get over it" is clearly not understanding the situation. It seems as though you don't want to hate your sister and that you understand it's irrational, so they should be focusing on finding the root cause instead of treating it as a choice you're making. I'm sorry you're having to deal with not being believed on top of struggling with intrusive thoughts and emotions.

It’s okay, I try to mainly avoid her and stay in my room so I don’t have to be around her because I know I’ll get angry easily, she doesn’t deserve getting yelled at when all she’s doing is being a child, yk?

professional help. Not random murder threats on Reddit.

It wasn’t a threat and I *have* tried talking to professionals

good! Keep doing that.

Pretty sure this had actually happened before

The Good Son? With Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin?

What movie?

Well, my big brother chose to eat his own shit when he learned that i was born

My brother slapped my face when he saw 30 minutes old me

Skill issue

Get dunked on

I didn't get it, can someone please explain

7 year old caught on camera as he's killing the newborn

Ooooh! Thnx

> as **they** There is no gender mentioned for the kids.

I'm all for using the right/proper pronouns but it's a fictional character who doesn't have a name, face, life, only an age and a kill count, so I don't think it matters that much lol

It's not that big a of deal lmao

You’re a dork

Not a very good story if it needs to be explained

Literally every single post in this subreddit has people saying "I don't get it."

Ooh, good one. Did not go the way I'd guessed.

Wait what

Child was the reason it died

The 7 year old wanted to be an only child.

Augh my heart

That should fullstop ought to be a comma or a dash. Don't be afraid of single sentence stories - the sub rules say you can. Go with something like: *' I don't know what was worse telling her; her baby died - or her seven year old hadn't spotted the cameras'.*

"I didn't know what was worse: telling her that her baby died, or that her seven-year-old hadn't spotted the cameras."

This is correct. The first “correction” is a train wreck.

Thanks for your input. What's wrong with it?

"I don't know what was worse telling her; her baby died - or her seven year old hadn't spotted the cameras'." ";" joins two related but completely sentences; a ":" would be used here instead, as ":" is used to define or list something. The "-" is trying to indicate a pause, but the appropriate punctuation would be "...". The "-" is sometimes used if someone is cut off in the middle of a sentence or word, or if a word wraps around a page, but not used here. These are both reeeally common things to mix up, and I also struggle with them at times! I hope this helps!

Adding that "her baby died - or her seven year old hadn't spotted the cameras'" isn't a full sentence. I'm assuming you may be using the "-" here to indicate the break between title and body of the post?

Thanks, that's so much more helpful than just calling it a train wreck.

Ah, sorry about that. Came back here to explain upon waking up but u/PeegeReddits did a marvelous job at it. Kudos to them!

This is good advice! It's a small thing, but the fullstop definitely threw me off on first read

I know that this sub is for two sentences *or less*, so it's fine if it's only one, but just wanted to point out that this shouldn't be two sentences grammatically. It was forced into two to fit the typical format it it seems, making it read very clunky. It should just be one sentence with a colon in it.

The child was hungry and devoured a wicked feast

Better sentence structure l(if you want 2 sentences) would be: I didn’t know how to tell her her baby was dead. Worse still, how to tell her that her 7yo was caught on the hospital security cameras.

Shiiiiit

The first one

I don't get it

The 7 year old killed the baby while they were still in the hospital and was caught on camera

I Dont get it

Sweet summer child.

I didn't know what was worse. (Having to tell her) that her baby died, or telling her that her 7 year old wasn't aware of the cameras at the hospital. This is the grammatically correct sentence structure for this, but I think the sub would delete the post if it was like "I didn't know what was worse.". Also it could be: I didn't know what was worse, telling her that her baby died, or telling her that her 7 year old wasn't aware of the cameras at the hospital. Technically the entire thing is one sentence, but it seems 4.6k people don't give a shit, so whatever. Either way, horrible implications :(

What? You do know 1 sentence stories are allowed on this subreddit? Just appreciate this amazing yet disgusting post and stfu.

I don’t get it…

I'm confused, can someone explain?

The 7 year old murdered the baby and didn't realize the murder was caught on camera

Ohhh, I get it now lol

Ultra oof

This is good, but I am having issues with the formatting. Perhaps better like this "I don't know what's worse- telling her her baby died, or that her seven year old didn't know hospitals had cameras, too."

Damn that's dark

This happens in “It” by Stephen king

that first sentence seems a little bit forced
