Hey everyone! I hope you have been enjoying the stories! I almost have the swat officer video done, that is going to be a mega colab with MrCreepypasta, Natures temper, Viidiith and many more narrators!
Ooooo I think I’m gonna love this well I already love pretty much every story you’ve narrated so I think I’ll love this one extra just make sure to not burn yourself out this is the fastest you’ve pumped out 👌
Wow!! This story was really good. I enjoyed the little Easter eggs. I also love how the main character was being effected by the “propaganda” of the silver statue.
I love the idea of it was a single department that was completely overwhelmed and lead by a single person because everyone else was just gone. That's very surreal and creepy
This is such a great story! As a younger generation I think we all experience feeling disenfranchised with our government in all countries. I really like this message that we can’t rely on them and we need to work as a community to solve our issues
"political horror" is a unique and rarely explored concept. Thank you Ronnie for bringing in something different from time to time and keeping it fresh. Thanks to the writer also for the story. Political polarization is scary because it brought about the tribalistic and destructive "us vs them" mentality, instead of setting aside our differences and finding common ground so we can coexist and support each other towards the greater good and mutually beneficial relationship.
I think the story is referencing Charlottesville. With the torches and that woman calling them Nazis. I dont think its possible to always set aside differences if you disagree so significantly on the basics.
@@bubb742especially when you do not share a basic moral platform. Some things are beyond compromise. Just like slavery was. We had to fight. Because there was no compromise to freedom.
As a Michigander this guys should have called the Michigan department. As soon as he mentioned it was effecting rivers we would have been on the case. You never can trust someone from Ohio to protect our water /j
Church made out of bones and flesh? Sounds like another one scary story ive heard (church of the sacred way if im not mistaken) and i love your vids thanks for posting there great to listen too
I thought the same and I've heard this exact story on another channel a while back and I'm not mistaken. Not that that's a bad thing. I was just saying I'm pretty sure I've heard it
And the radio! That's from annother recent story! I can't remember which one right now, and then the caves might be referencing the cave diver story from a while back or its separate as well but it would be so cool if they are (Sorry im excited)
This channel is a godsend for those of us who need a good story to bed down to. TDS has the perfect narrative voice without the need for all the over the top sound effects. Thanks a ton. 🙏
Addendum: I'm super glad you got to see my comment, Dark Somnium! I struggle with extreme insomnia and I don't even need my 'go to sleep' medications to fall asleep if I put on your story and allow myself to just listen and drift off. Much love and support. As cheesy as it is, this channel has been a life changer in my sleep habits. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Ronnie! First found your channel when I got Covid early 2022. Needless to say, it really helped me get through it, and I think I binged through every narration of yours I could find. Been looking forward to each upload ever since. Thanks for all your superb quality work, and keep it up! :)
There literally is no other story teller as the Darksomnium! Great work man. I remember a few stories where you literally made me cry because of the narration, the story and sound design! Keep going bud!
normally I don’t really comment but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your content! You helped me a lot to fall asleep and I may even say you have the most soothing voice on youtube in my opinion!! And the speed you produce content with is stunning!! but don’t overwork yourself!!
You are the G.O.A.T. seriously man. Your narrations are so good; the sound design is top tier; your songs are AMAZING; AND you've been pumping out so much of this high-quality content Good job, and try not to get yourself burned out
@Darksomnium good on ya man. I, and i think everybody else would be really sad if you got burned out. Take care of yourself Also, on an unrelated note. If you make any piano focused songs, could you release like, the midi files for it? I really like your music and would love to be able to play them
Hey Ronnie thanks for another video. This sounds SCP content and i love the foundation and it's lore. Kind of always hope you would Branch off and do a couple scp tales from the early days of the foundation. There's some real amazing works of literature. Have a good week and thanks again for the hard work
Today I re-listened to the story you narrated called "A girl the universe forgot" or something like that, I loved it so much I had to listen to it again. I wonder if you would do more of these types of stories since they make me feel a certain way especially with your narration.
Maaaan I knew where this was going the second he turned on a local channel and found it comforting- his getting involved was _fascinating_ to hear, though, and I love the sense of dramatic irony I got from it. I’m glad he finally realized. There’s DEFINITELY a deeper thought to this, both sides affected by the same message, turning everyone on each other while not realizing they’re being used…
A great metaphor at play here Bravo to the writer for coming up with it and writing it in such a flawless manner And you, the narator for making it come to life
Sat eating lunch in the car, perfect timing! The moon story was really fun and intriguing, love me some mind bending cosmic horror. Now THIS is also an amazing choice, secret government stuff always hits hard so thankyou for the amazing story choice, can’t wait to listen and enjoy!
I'm so excited about all the Matt Dymerski you've been doing lately. My favorite writer and my favorite horror narrator combined! Please do the entire multiverse, I've been dying for someone to do it 🎉
I really enjoyed a story where it’s the cult followers perspective. It’s easy to see from our perspective how both sides sounded insane but he was so sure of himself up until that final moment. Would love to hear more from this author
OK, this was good, the dichotomy of gold and silver, and the metaphor for politics, and the indifference of the government. All wrapped up in an interesting, entertaining story. Well done my friend. Now we needs the more.....all of the more.....
Thank you for your killer uploads of the past 4 days. Have to listen to this later but super excited to see you just drop this again, thank you for your consistency and hard work 🙏
I just recently started listening to your videos a couple weeks ago, and ive gone through so many of them already, your narration is absolutely incredible, and im extremely glad i found your channel
At first I thought the story was gonna be some normal creepypasta about cults and stuff. But boy oh boy I was thrown for a spin. This story is simple, descriptive and effective. It's a message to society, with all the rising hate between communities and government and big company influence, people just can't seem to hear anything else other than their respective radios. No one is immune, not even the main character. But they all realised in the end and that's what society should too. Great, simply story with a deep and elaborate message!
I was just searching for a vid to listen to while doing my homework ! You re the best narrator on youtube in my opinion . Can't wait for the next story
As I see it this is a warning of radicalism. It has the telltale signs of two sides being mislead and radicalized against the other. Leading to the main conflict, it was a good metaphor and really fit this story well in my opinion. ( I also find it hilarious that the dude who caused all that chaos is literally Alexander the Great )
the statues , in the case, are the politicians and the elite, who stand as one to mislead and confuse/ distract us with petty nonsense to squabble over while they make all the real decisions, and line their pockets
A very interesting critique of government and the 2 party system in place in the US and many other countries. The powerful only benefit when we fight amongst ourselves.
My nightly stories. That help me sleep. You content is by far the best narration on TH-cam. I've even got all your podcasts downloaded so I can keep listening at work where I get no signal or data.
This! This right here is the miasma that a lot of people are feeling right now, bottled, condensed, and distilled down into an excellently written story. It's all the same garbage, all the same interests, all the same talking points/beliefs/arguments with different packaging. It's all control through fear. No need for a conspiracy when all the people calling the shots on both "sides" have the same interests, right? They know what's good for them. "It's a big club, and you ain't in it", after all.
you've been killing it lately. i always enjoy your narrations on long car rides or when im home alone. I think ive backtracked far enough by now that ive listened to every video even from years back. keep up the solid work man!
It was good, thank you. Listened to popular and older videos by you and Romnex. Can't wait for your collaboration with good narrators. This was an excellent story btw. Take care!
Not commentary? I loved it, sounds like a good start to a series! I really liked how you faded in people yelling on he's first encounter with the followers almost rioting. It was very immersive.
Glad you liked it! I accidently messed up with this one and forgot to add the commentary section haha, didn't realize it wasn't in the full mix fill after I had uploaded it. I'll make sure to include it in the next.
We do need ta stick together but......We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan. We're from Ohio!!!
You’re the best!! Don’t work yourself too hard, but I can’t say I’m not enjoying all this content!! Hope you’re doing well. Also- my dog learned your voice means I settle down and give him snuggles while I listen. Now every time he hears a video start, he comes running
That's actually pretty cute, your dog, that is. I wonder if I could do the same thing with my cat. Sure, he's feline, but has more brains and heart than you might expect.
@@kayakMike1000 Aww, that’s sweet haha I don’t think I actually did anything to train him, I think he just figured out that DS’s voice means I settle down and it’s the perfect time for snuggles. He’s pretty quick at picking up habits, but I guess he’s had 14 years to get to know me haha Good luck with your kitty!! Somnium doesn’t even know he’s training pets all over the world to get snuggles hahaha
DS ive listened to all of your narrations on spotify while at work, but i listen to your TH-cam channel to help me sleep. i dont really get how it works, but if im at work your voice keeps me calm. at home you help me wind down for the night. thank you for your work
Alright here we go. I love these types of stories so this'll be a fun listen like always EDIT once again a really cool story. The relization that there was only one statue was a brain blast for sure
Perfect timing as always brother.. I'm having a slow 5S day at work today and this is going to help kill atleast 42 minutes of my 12 hour shift.. thank you or that brother.
Hey man I listened to this after getting home from school. I haven't been watching much recently tbh, been trying to use it as background noise for sleep. But listening today made me remember that I actually need to listen to enjoy the story. Definitely gonna be watching more soon.
I don't know if this is the same story I read years ago where the gold and silver followers fought each other. Nevertheless, you never fail to impress me, keep it up.
I really enjoyed this story, from my perspective it's reminiscent of the polarization we often see when it comes to political views---especially present in the US. Silver vs. Gold is just Red vs. Blue, each side---like it or not---are constantly tearing apart the other and spreading propaganda. I'm from Canada so I can't attest to what things are really like down south but, I still catch myself hating and unwilling to try and understand the perspective of someone who believes something different than I do. This story feels to me like a metaphor for the fact that we never listen to the opposing side; we assume they're wrong because they disagree, or have a differing perspective. With the rise of social media we are more separated as a society than ever before---we have the ability to only hear what we want to, only see things that feed into our beliefs rather than learning to see the whole picture and take into account that different people think differently. Anyhow---that's just my thoughts while listening to this great work as always!
This story was definitely a metaphor especially when you really break it down. Silver and gold are definitely the 2 sides of the political sphere and aka red and blue. Both sides spew constant propaganda dehumanizing the other while making there side appear as if it is the only rational option. Both sides are the same corruption when you step back and look at it from the outside. The division is just smoke and mirrors. It insures that no matter what somebody is getting elected that's still part of the corruption regardless of political affiliation. I still rember watching two politicians from opposite sides yell and argue and then when it was over they didn't realize the cameras were still on and they laugh and smiled like they were good friends, it's just a show. Keeping the people at each other's throats so they are so focused on each other they don't realize they are being played. Even Alexander saying "burn it" could symbolize burning the system itself. Using Alexander the Great is actually really fascinating. Although he was a "conqueror" he never messed with the cultures of the places he took over and embraced sharing of cultures. Which made him very popular even among people he conquered.
The story is about the people who are behind the message on the radio. They are the evil villains Gold and silver are campaign contributions in my opinion. “Give me gold and silver and give me control” (or similar) gave it always to me. How do the politicians stay in power? The ppl keep funding them because of the message of strife and division they pour out from the captured media.
“Give me gold and silver and make me stronger” This may be one of the truest metaphors ever voiced. Matt, I applaud your skill to present reality without being too political (as an independent, i can see that either ‘side’ could have represented gold but the “n*zi” comment gave away the players… )
Who would have thought someone would write a story centered around campaign contributions (gold/silver) (Edit) or taxes… both keep the govt in power. Haha.
Wow! Sounds just like our govt!😂 but I do like the moral of the story-we have to stick together as fellow countrymen and women. We can listen to hate and let it flow, or stop-looking at what’s actually going on-and see red/blue, blk/wht, we’re all in this together..sometimes it takes an outsider perspective to get people to really “see” what they’re doing!!! ❤
Hmm. I don’t normally enjoy political allegory in story form. It usually feels too heavy handed. This was solid though. It felt very true. Very much enjoyed the story and very appropriate read for election season. 😄🤣
I know this dymerski story, it’s a good one. I like the message, even though it’s one the likely will piss off people ignorant of their own tribalism…. Boy we get spoiled with Dymerski and Verastahl stories! What a good season of Somnium!😊
Hey everyone! I hope you have been enjoying the stories! I almost have the swat officer video done, that is going to be a mega colab with MrCreepypasta, Natures temper, Viidiith and many more narrators!
That's exciting news I can't fkn wait dude❤
Ooooo I think I’m gonna love this well I already love pretty much every story you’ve narrated so I think I’ll love this one extra just make sure to not burn yourself out this is the fastest you’ve pumped out 👌
Sweet thank you
Very sick! Keep up the good work. Best music and sfx in the game!
@KrobusTheShadow did i use it in this one? can you give me a timestamp and ill check for you :)
The ultimate horror: working in an understaffed department.
xD
Yes lol
😂😂😂😂😂
They make them anyway besides understaffed?
As soon as the girl didn’t have her necklace and asked for silver I KNEW there was 2 sides to the coin. Amazing story
Coin hehe
I mean yah, that was pretty instantly obvious
Wow!! This story was really good. I enjoyed the little Easter eggs. I also love how the main character was being effected by the “propaganda” of the silver statue.
Man I love me some spooky stories at night 😁 (bro is scared to the bone☠️)
It was the propaganda of the gold staue pushing for violence !! You are being mislead!!!!!
What were the Easter eggs in this story?
@@wyattml1641he burns down the flesh church from the strange church outside my town story.
@@fingmoron wow! That's awesome! I kind of had a feeling but I really wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying that

agree here but i do think centrism is twiddling your thumbs while community is dying out. have to have an opinion eventually
@@lily-qx9pm Working together and being reasonable isn't fence sitting.

One thing to take away. Never expect the government to do anything helpful

thank you so much!
Gold, Silver, Light, Dark, Left, Right, Red, Blue. If this story isn't the perfect analogy for 2023 across the world, I don't what is.
Exactly, this is symbolism at its finest. Unfortunately, most of us still haven’t figured this out.

Love your stories, man. Keep it up!
glad you're enjoying it!
Not commentary? I loved it, sounds like a good start to a series! I really liked how you faded in people yelling on he's first encounter with the followers almost rioting. It was very immersive.
Glad you liked it! I accidently messed up with this one and forgot to add the commentary section haha, didn't realize it wasn't in the full mix fill after I had uploaded it. I'll make sure to include it in the next.
I lived in Ohio most of my life and never heard of this story. That being said, we all need to stick together no matter what happens. So inspiring.
this story reminds me of mexico
We do need ta stick together but......We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan. We're from Ohio!!!
Same, and I've lived near two of the named towns. Pretty cool.
Silver will crush gold✊🏼😊
Only in Ohio?
These videos really helped spark my creative side. Finally started to create games again thanks to these. Love the videos!
Great to hear!
You’re the best!! Don’t work yourself too hard, but I can’t say I’m not enjoying all this content!! Hope you’re doing well.
Also- my dog learned your voice means I settle down and give him snuggles while I listen. Now every time he hears a video start, he comes running
yoooo thank you so much hannah! im making sure to take time off when i feel i need to rest :)
That's actually pretty cute, your dog, that is. I wonder if I could do the same thing with my cat. Sure, he's feline, but has more brains and heart than you might expect.
@@kayakMike1000 Aww, that’s sweet haha
I don’t think I actually did anything to train him, I think he just figured out that DS’s voice means I settle down and it’s the perfect time for snuggles. He’s pretty quick at picking up habits, but I guess he’s had 14 years to get to know me haha
Good luck with your kitty!! Somnium doesn’t even know he’s training pets all over the world to get snuggles hahaha
Ronnie does have a great voice for narrating he has a calming voice and now he is dog approved..
I always get excited when I see you post new video up in your discord a wonderful feeling
Ugh I’m just about to go out but looking forward to coming back to this with a title like this. Love all the work you do and hope you’re keeping well!
I hope you have agreat day!
Awesome, Ronnie!! I hope this is the beginning of a series!! Thank you!!
Excited to listen to another great narrated story of yours!
I hope you like it!
lmao I love the Cabin in the Woods esque office horror comedy at the beginning
This story sounds like a analogy for the divide among people today
Well my day just got 10 times better! Glad to always see a post from you ❤
This will sate my thirst for an SCP collab with Volgun....for now.
DS ive listened to all of your narrations on spotify while at work, but i listen to your TH-cam channel to help me sleep. i dont really get how it works, but if im at work your voice keeps me calm. at home you help me wind down for the night. thank you for your work
Alright here we go.
I love these types of stories so this'll be a fun listen like always
EDIT
once again a really cool story.
The relization that there was only one statue was a brain blast for sure
Can’t get ENOUGH of your content bru, keep it coming!!!
Perfect timing as always brother.. I'm having a slow 5S day at work today and this is going to help kill atleast 42 minutes of my 12 hour shift.. thank you or that brother.
I hope you like the story and have a great day!
Hey man I listened to this after getting home from school. I haven't been watching much recently tbh, been trying to use it as background noise for sleep.
But listening today made me remember that I actually need to listen to enjoy the story. Definitely gonna be watching more soon.
Thanks for listening
I don't know if this is the same story I read years ago where the gold and silver followers fought each other. Nevertheless, you never fail to impress me, keep it up.
This story is just excellent! Thank you dark somnium
I really enjoyed this story, from my perspective it's reminiscent of the polarization we often see when it comes to political views---especially present in the US. Silver vs. Gold is just Red vs. Blue, each side---like it or not---are constantly tearing apart the other and spreading propaganda. I'm from Canada so I can't attest to what things are really like down south but, I still catch myself hating and unwilling to try and understand the perspective of someone who believes something different than I do. This story feels to me like a metaphor for the fact that we never listen to the opposing side; we assume they're wrong because they disagree, or have a differing perspective. With the rise of social media we are more separated as a society than ever before---we have the ability to only hear what we want to, only see things that feed into our beliefs rather than learning to see the whole picture and take into account that different people think differently. Anyhow---that's just my thoughts while listening to this great work as always!
This story was definitely a metaphor especially when you really break it down. Silver and gold are definitely the 2 sides of the political sphere and aka red and blue. Both sides spew constant propaganda dehumanizing the other while making there side appear as if it is the only rational option. Both sides are the same corruption when you step back and look at it from the outside. The division is just smoke and mirrors. It insures that no matter what somebody is getting elected that's still part of the corruption regardless of political affiliation. I still rember watching two politicians from opposite sides yell and argue and then when it was over they didn't realize the cameras were still on and they laugh and smiled like they were good friends, it's just a show. Keeping the people at each other's throats so they are so focused on each other they don't realize they are being played. Even Alexander saying "burn it" could symbolize burning the system itself. Using Alexander the Great is actually really fascinating. Although he was a "conqueror" he never messed with the cultures of the places he took over and embraced sharing of cultures. Which made him very popular even among people he conquered.
The story is about the people who are behind the message on the radio. They are the evil villains
Gold and silver are campaign contributions in my opinion. “Give me gold and silver and give me control” (or similar) gave it always to me.
How do the politicians stay in power? The ppl keep funding them because of the message of strife and division they pour out from the captured media.
This mans voice puts me to sleep like literally the only way i sleep peacefully without having psychotic episodes
This one was very good. I enjoyed the sense of isolation and surrounding threats while some greater evil lurked out of sight.
I waited so long for your Videos. Thanks you once again for posting
More to come!
“Give me gold and silver and make me stronger”
This may be one of the truest metaphors ever voiced. Matt, I applaud your skill to present reality without being too political (as an independent, i can see that either ‘side’ could have represented gold but the “n*zi” comment gave away the players… )
Who would have thought someone would write a story centered around campaign contributions (gold/silver)
(Edit) or taxes… both keep the govt in power. Haha.
Also. What was the “riddle” the the main character couldn’t figure out when Alexander pointed to his “sternum” and said burn it.
How he talked about the torches it reminded me of charlotsville but irl those with the torches are not afraid when they are outnumbered
@@FreiWild1776 same here!
This does sound like SCP and how they contain anomalies. Love these types of stories. Epic narration.
What a brilliant political commentary
Hello Dark! What a way to start my day, a story from you and a cup of coffee 😊! Hope you have a good day 😅
thank you! have a good day mary!
Wow! Sounds just like our govt!😂 but I do like the moral of the story-we have to stick together as fellow countrymen and women. We can listen to hate and let it flow, or stop-looking at what’s actually going on-and see red/blue, blk/wht, we’re all in this together..sometimes it takes an outsider perspective to get people to really “see” what they’re doing!!! ❤
The Easter eggs hit me like a truck!
I really enjoyed this story^^ keep up the nice work!
Hmm. I don’t normally enjoy political allegory in story form. It usually feels too heavy handed. This was solid though. It felt very true. Very much enjoyed the story and very appropriate read for election season. 😄🤣
Glad you liked it!
Ah yes, the true horror. Politics.
Listening to this while studying, absolutely premium, thank you for your work.
Glad you enjoy it!
Only In Ohio
This being my top comment is cursed
Yeah, the best state in the best country in human history. May she forever reign.🍻
I know this dymerski story, it’s a good one. I like the message, even though it’s one the likely will piss off people ignorant of their own tribalism…. Boy we get spoiled with Dymerski and Verastahl stories! What a good season of Somnium!😊
What a bunch of "both sides" nonsense! We all know it's Gold that brought all this hate and bigotry with them
