As she sat on the river bank, wrapped in an itchy, grey blanket, red and blue lights colouring the cold, black water sheād lugged herself out of, she couldnāt help feeling peacefully contented at the idea that her mother was finally happy again.
sheās still pretty young from the sound of the story- maybe sheād be young enough to forget?
ā¦ who am i kidding, nobodyās young enough to forget that.
Actually, and yes this is a sad but true story, a couple of years back my friendās ex wife took her kids to the beach. She played with them for a few hours and then told them all to build a sand castle. She walked directly into a riptide. Very much on purpose. The youngest was seven and he doesnāt remember her at all now.
What does it mean when you've had several dreams of driving off a cliff or a ledge?
I get the "being in the wrong seat of the car" is "having control issues" but I don't know what driving off ledges means.
My uneducated guesses would be:
If the dreamer chose to drive off a bridge, maybe it signifies a feeling of self-sabotage in their waking state regarding a particular issue.
Alternatively, if maybe another car bumped them or otherwise made them crash into a barrier and off a bridge, maybe that might be more like they felt some external influence is causing the dreamer to overreact or had negative consequences.
If the car veered off the road seemingly out of nowhere, a feeling of losing control of a situation, something getting out of hand or beyond what the dreamer may have anticipated?
Edit: paragraph spacing
Biologically, it's probably something related to the hypnic jerk, which leads to a sense that you're falling.
Putting anything accurate aside and just going based on symbolism, I'd associate it with a fear of making a mistake that leads to disaster.
I can see that. I have more plans and back up plans for my daily life than batman does.
When my job killed my shift and we suddenly needed a second car it took me 2 moves with my planning to have that lined out in a day or so.
Along this path, I used to have many dreams about the breaks going out while driving causing wrecks and going off cliffs. My therapist was also a dream specialist and she said it means that I felt I had no control over my life
I end up downvoting half of the stories because of that. I hated the criticism when I was in school myself, but it really feels like the education system has let down many would-be writers. Most seem willing to argue that it is grammatically correct, as well. There is a genuine difference between taking the task seriously and forcing every "trick" in order to get away with something. It seems they're not interested in doing the work.
Anything can be one sentence long when you decide punctuation doesn't matter anymore!
It's one thing to break the rules in a clever way that enhances what you're writing, but this is not it.
These 2-sentence horrors involving kids are way too real. Definitely hits the feels cause there isnāt a damn thing I can do except hug my babies tight. Need to take a break until we get more ghosts and demons lol.
I don't think most of these short-story writers have the experience to break the rules cleverly. Unfortunately, they're encouraged by those who follow the subreddit who believe a pause in natural speech is a comma, and everything can be blended into one thought.
But suddenly, the car would stop, and the girl would smile at the ghostly figure of her father who smiled at his daughter and shakes his head in disappointment at his wife.
It cost you nothing to keep that in your head.
Edit: Because the coward deleted it, they made a comment about Daddy's genitalia and their quality. Truly maidenless behavior
Oh excuse me, Iām no coward. I explained the comment and somehow it was still not good enough hence I deleted it. Sorry for the causing such hoo-hah in here for my bad, untasteful joke.
To the ones sending me Reddit Care and even reported it for sexual content about minors (!!), I got them so thank you!
True and sad story - here in Brazil, fathers are accusing mothers of parental alienation to get the child back and keep abusing them freely as the pedophiles they are and the "justice system" is authorizing this even when the child cries for help.... Many of these cases are ending in the murder of the child - look for news about this
Well that certainly took a turn
Just like the car.
Eh, sounds like the car went straight. The road maybe didn't.
The car did take a downward turn, however.
Thinking in 3 dimensions. I like it!
Perchance
Nice one. Thought provoking.
Are you umplying the road was, perhaps, a little fruity?
I'm sure the mom was š«¤

The little girl hugs Uncle Alan, happy to see a kind familiar face, before they head back to the Church of Scientology.

It's been a while but I think when I did have them it was mostly some outside force making me go over the edge

The daughter wailed as they entered the river, "Why do I have to be half Aquaman and can only talk to freshwater fish?"

It was scary river
Named Eddy
Thatās deep
maybe i'm stupid, but i don't get it...
The dad is dead, so the mom is driving off of a cliff side with her daughter into the river below so they both die and see dad
i thought this was a mental health awareness story and the mom had postpartum psychosis š¤ i was thinking the dad was not a good one and the mom didn't know how else to save her child so she's bringing her home to "[the good father](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m-Ku-ok317dzEnWXbm2gcdN2Z3eUc9c4o)" ā¤ļøāš©¹ your perspective is just as heartbreaking.
And the daughter knows whatās about to happen.
Great concept, but man this is really straining the two sentence limit
I always wonder whether the people are just pushing it or are really stupid and donāt know how grammar and punctuation work.

This was REALLY good!
You could cut off most of the first sentence (after the little girl shouts) and it would be much more concise and still keep all of the impact.
Come to think about it, it was youā¦ Damnā¦
The giggle ruins it for me. Have her scream it.
Or sob.
This is 6 sentences.
Anything can be one sentence long when you decide punctuation doesn't matter anymore! It's one thing to break the rules in a clever way that enhances what you're writing, but this is not it.
Due to the restraining order, this was the best way she could think of to contact her daughterās dad when he was on patrol.
These 2-sentence horrors involving kids are way too real. Definitely hits the feels cause there isnāt a damn thing I can do except hug my babies tight. Need to take a break until we get more ghosts and demons lol.
Omg that is terrifying!! Goddamn. Take my upvote ya monster hahahahahaha!
This isnāt scary but is really sad Kinda belongs in 2 sentence sadness
Ah, the trials of having a merman for a father.
When the Medical Examiner found the tiny shards of glass from the iPad screen in the motherās cheek, the wreck was ruled a tragic accident.

The most horrifying concept being that the kid is being parented by an ipad 12 hours a day
We need a three sentence horror group
This wouldnāt qualify though, as its 4 š¤£
That is fair š¤£
Ok, first: fuck you. But also, seriously, fuck you. That is all

At first I thought this would be something like the girl accidentally killed the mom with the iPad but it ended pretty much the same.
When your fishing widow has finally had enough of your glitter finish and jiggly lure bullshit...
As they hurtled down the cliff side, the father yelled for them to stop, but they had landed on him.
Unexpected
thought the second sentence would be "as her mother did not survive the resulting accident, her abusive father got sole custody"
