Peter Frost David is currently writing the sequel to "If you're armed and at the Glenmont metro, please shoot me." When it's done, we will learn about terrifying new uses for the mind-enhancing drug, and learn about the phenomenon of Second Death. Read more from Peter Frost David on his website: www.anewkindofmonster.com/ Second Death? What's that, you say? You are a quick sci-fi read away from knowing what you need to know: www.amazon.com/dp/B09MLRZ8T9
can you one day try something like "the mirror man" or "the knocking man" if you ever have time can you please make one of these ideas? if you do: The mirror man is seen in the mirror everytime but nowhere found in your house behind you, he just stares at you in the mirrors you look at the knocking man always knocks at your door but, when you open it the man is nowhere to be seen, instead you just see a package with some pieces of human bones inside. (and stuff of your own idea), again if you WANT to
The most realistic part of this story is this guy living for ten thousand years and still recalling how much of a slog it was to read 30 chapters of Moby Dick.
Never read Moby Dick, but I imagine reading the complete works of Lovecraft compiled into one book _(a bit over a thousand pages - wouldn't have been so bad if the font hadn't been tiny and the editor had possessed any apparent idea of how to cleanly break up paragraphs)_ in slow-mo would be similarly hellish.
If the classics bore you just stop being pretentious and go back to watching whatever you actually enjoy. If you took a class that required it and it was a slog don't work in an industry where English comp and writing are a requirement. An eight year old who genuinely enjoys reading can enjoy Moby Dick. You can't, thats fine, just don't take a job you don't belong in.
idk if its just me but this story had me so immersed that despite it only being 22 minutes it felt much longer than that. Whoever wrote this has great descriptive writing skills.
i find it hard to imagine just how long and boring that must've been... i catch myself imagining hours rather than days and days rather than years when i read this story. this is one criticism i have of the story, however i dont imagine its easy-- or even possible to write out just how long and boring it was without becoming tedious to read and write.
@@matthewjones39 My favourite part was when he said “It’s ifyourarmedattheglenmontmetropleaseshootmein time.” and ifyourarmedattheglenmonetmetropleaseshootmeed all over the bad guys
this man spends decades in every single second yet still created an extremely verbose and in detail account of his experience. Always remember that no matter how much dedication you have to good writing you will never match this guy's dedication to good writing.
@@mortyking1597 Yes but the point was he didn't want to have to wait for the train. He was trying to get someone to shoot him so he didn't have to wait that whole time. If he spent 5 minutes writing the story instead of 10 minutes he'd be saving himself ENDLESS amounts of boredom if it did happen to work
@@parknplay8328 Fingers can move really fast especially since reaction time would be superhuman as he is perciving thousands of years a second. He could probably type that whole thing in just 30 seconds.
I always though that was a weird expression, I mean If you suddenly gained the ability to move faster than light there is a hell of a lot of light dispersed through the universe already right? So depending on the exact speed you're going at you'd have to go for potentially billions of years to escape its reach entirely, or go somewhere where there already wasn't light which is just as possible going at normal human speed
The most horrifying part of a headshot with time being perceived this slow is experiencing 50+ years straight of incredibly severe traumatic brain injury.
You have to use a powerful gun with a high velocity bullet. Maybe a .50 BMG sniper rifle or something. Then it would probably just only be like 1-5 years.
@@asinski324 I’m guessing you either wear a giant Trench coat or you bring it partially disassembled in a cello case and then assemble it at the station. That’s assuming the station doesn’t have metal detectors.
I absolutely love how visceral this story is without any legitimate violence or gore, just mundane sprains and twists made 10,000 times worse by the slow crawl of almost-nonexistent 'time'.
Coming back from the sequel where the doctor who administered the pill to the patient found said patient in the same situation he was in this video, it's kinda haunting to think that within 90 minutes, bro lived around 8 MILLION years.
I love creepypastas like this. No scary location, creature or killer . Not even any gore or anything . Just very good writing and a unique idea. Very well made animation too
Yeah, though ones about killers are a bit too basic for me honestly, things like this, creatures and such are what I look for in creepypastas, serial killers are real, we don't need to make them up
I like how one mistake made his problem go from manageable to dire. I was sitting here and I had to hold myself when the protagonist decided "Ah yes, let me take Ambien to help me sleep this experimental drug off.". Time was already really slow for him too, so he had time to really consider the repercussions of just how dangerous that would be. Ideally you could spend time getting used to the effects as they were, browse articles online or at worst break into a library. And imagine the feeling of just writing out your story one letter every couple of weeks.
It was a brand new drug. There wouldn't be any information online about how it would interact, or that it would have the opposite effect of making him sleepy
I'm coming back to write that my doctor started me on a new medication and it didn't take me very long before I started drinking. I can see how the logic of the story pans out now.
It’s horrifying that my nerves went down as soon as we got that shot of the woman reacting to him in real time. Shows how scary this situation would be if it happened to you.
It's almost like he's alone, even when surrounded by hundreds of people. Nobody knows what's happening to him, and he couldn't communicate it if he tried. Even if he could they probably wouldn't believe him.
About halfway through this, I realized I was doing things slower myself, moving my mouse slower, turning my head slower, switching monitors slower... What an excruciating story, and I love the Garry's mod retelling of it, weird how well it works. I love it.
The worst thing is... theres no guarantee that anyone shot him, and or that it will ever happen. Or if this ever stopped. Truly terrifying story. Havent watched this in 9 months since it was posted and it still sticks with me
Just got back from saving this poor man at my local metro. It was terrible seeing him, hurdled up under a cardboard box with a sign asking for donations. I know for me pulling the trigger only lasted a couple seconds, but for him it probably lasted an eternity as he was shot. A terrible fate indeed, but at least, he was freed from it eventually. I couldn't find his phone, though, but I blame that on the fact I was searching him quickly because I had to get away fast before the police were called.
Just capped my local metro's hobo locale too. They must've lived for at least a million years because the women I shot was capable of running but luckily I got her in the spine before she had a chance to trip and fall for centuries.
for the looks of the source engine and source film maker, this is awfully realistic to display his frustrations and abilities from the drug, great piece. hope to see more like this
The way he collapses onto the ground during the second subway sequence is really convincing, easily the most well-animated portion of the video. This concept is genuinely terrifying, bravo.
I literally was thinking, “man it would suck if he ever rolled his ankle.” I didn’t think the story was actually going to go there, good grief. A well done adaptation I must say.
This horror story is not just about altered perception, though I doubt many people will see that on first viewing, it is about unintended interactions. One must never, EVER, take a drug without knowing the potential interactions with drugs you are already on. Let this be a horrifying but necessary message, and let's hope nobody watching this video ever forgets it. It may save your life.
No existing word could accurately describe the terror of being trapped in an imperceivable slowness for millennia mentally in physical minutes. I love your animations and they give a great horrifying visual to an already immensely dreadful scenario.
Yea large doses of psychedelics can have a similar effect and its truly terrifying at first u do sorta just accept the slowness of everything after a while though Edit: I got a bit further through if anyone wants to experience something like this for personal growth take alot of shrooms
estimated time for events: 10:15 - Administered pill 10:23 - Reads 3 magazines. 10:30 - Reads 30 chapters of Moby dick. 10:30 to 12:40 - Tests? Only part that makes sense for time discrepancy ~12:40/12:45 - Leaves for home. ~1:15 - Gets Home 1:25 - Tries sleeping ~1:35 - Takes Ambien ~2:10 - Starts leaving to go back to the offices. ~2:15/2:20 - Probably writes the story near this time. ~2:20 - Gets sent to ER due to acting erratically. I estimate due to times in the video, this is the timeline.
Words are incapable of describing how much I enjoyed this story. It's played on so many of my phobias and nightmares, that it instantly became my new favorite. And your animation and editing added so much to the story.
Describing the faces of people just there laughing and smiling at him while he was stuck in tripping was somthing I didn't know that could scare me. A single moment of embarrassment and pain became his entire life(s), and it got stretched out do so damn long. The idea of waiting for years just to have a sudden face among the crowd look away, just to notice another one looking right at him but this time is stuck in a smiling expression, or even a horrified one, shit....watching their faces shift into that expression is insanity inducing. A smile is a lunatic expression before settling on joyful. Man this was good.
When I finished watching this, I felt like I was moving in slow motion for a few seconds. This story is just so engaging and far more terrifying than any other paranormal or killer story
This to date is the best sfm creepypasta on TH-cam. The story, narration and especially the animation work greatly in tandem with each other. This so far is Surkee's greatest work and I hope to see them surpass this masterpiece.
This instilled a fear in me like nothing i've watched in Years. It's so interesting how him describing such pain so slowly made Me check how much longer the video was, it created a slow dragging kind of discomfort that mirrored the concept of the video. That said, much as that existential dread makes this work, I do have to wonder what it was like for him after it did eventually clear from his system assuming nobody came to kill him.
I read a story once about an alchemist who messed up and caused the same effect. It ended with him contemplating about how he could fashion up a sharp object and jam it into his head so it would kill him as quickly as possible, but it would take him incredibly long to even get to the point of stabbing himself. And then, it's another eternity of pain, waiting for his body to die.
There's a drug that actually does this to you, called DXM. Thankfully DXM also gives you kind of an alcohol like stupor, and short term memory loss. So you just find yourself thinking 100 times in the same minute "oh my God it's still 6:01?????" Over and over again
Before COVID threw a wrench into everything, I often commuted on the Metro system that Glenmont is part of (Washington DC's WMATA). That's quite a good recreation of the train platform. I'd just argue that, even in light of being cognitively a lot faster than normal, he's -- as he's says -- still limited by how fast his body moves. By the time the author opens his Reddit app, opens up a submission page, composes all this, and hits submit, a train would likely already be arriving. Red Line trains back then ran every 6 or so minutes.
I think he decided that waiting for someone to shoot him was better since getting run over by a Train would be 10000x more agonizingly painful anyway, so the train may have arrived already but he was still waiting for someone to kill him.
@@UltraMarine765 The original story has 19364 characters. Even with superhuman thinking your finger wouldn’t physically be able to click more than about 15 clicks per second. But just for arguments sake if he was able to type 20 unique keys per second (disregarding the time it would take to move your finger between each key) it would still take about 15 minutes. Say half that time if he typed with both thumbs, but I also think you should consider that he said his coordination actually got significantly worse, so he’d probably accidentally make mistakes, and have to go back and delete them
To learn that he didn't die to the train nor a bullet in the sequel is just despairing and instead spent 8 million years just stuck under that bench with nothing else but his thoughts. (FYI there is a sequel by the title "My patient spent 8 million years under a bench at the Glenmont Metro" same author and all that)
It was 90 minutes in real life if I recall correctly from the lab to the ER. Averaging that out, 1 second of time in human reality would be around 1428.6 years by S-47’s subjective time (≈ 18 human lifetimes, measured by 80 years which is a typical healthy human life-span). That’s insane. Now multiply that 5399 times again and you get what he experienced. It’s very likely that in the moment time came to a standstill on the stairs, a second would be much, much longer, likely tens of thousands of years. Crazy to think about…
This got me thinking. At around 5:14 the doctors say “It will wear off in a few hours…” so presumably this man is not trapped forever regardless if he is killed or not. (unless the doctors are wrong) so this means at one point the dude will randomly start perceiving time normally and then figure out what to do next.
@@icedqq he will likely not be killed by someone by the time someone sees that message and ACTUALLY wants to kill him at best it might be the next day by the time the drug wears off, he might decide to kill himself once time gets a bit faster though
this story already by itself is genuinely terrifying, but the animation makes it so much more, especially parts like when he went too fast and bent his finger, even though this is sfm i still had to look away at that scene.
i just realized, since thos guy is percieving his breathing so slowly it probably feels like he isn't breathing at all, meaning on top of the boredom and despair you'd feel there's also the lack of breath as well, spooky
Watched the full 22 minutes and i can’t say ive ever been more amazed at a creepypasta like this before. to call this a creepypasta would feel like an insult. this is just beautiful storytelling. the true agony of this is breathtaking. ❤❤
This is very well done. This is the first creepypasta that actually terrified me. I still keep thinking about it, very disturbing. Good job to the writer.
I remember reading the original story on nosleep years ago and finding it to be probably the most creative work on the subreddit. So cool to see someone try and adapt it!
This is kind of... relatable. I once took twice the supposed dose of antidepresants on accident, leading to me leaving in slow-motion for a few hours. 2 hours lying in bed, looking at the ceiling and wondering if I should wake up. Makes you wonder if the same thing happened to author of this pasta to give him/her the idea for it, huh.
Surkee, I don't care if this video concept was original or not. You are a freaking genius dude! My sisters and I watched this right after watching a horrible movie that was a waste of time and we were like star struck. Hands down one of the best videos you posted. This is why I watch TH-cam.
I was on the verge of tears thinking about days, weeks, months, even YEARS of pain and simple tasks like blinking which the average human almost doesn't realize, feels like hours of darkness. The slightly unsettling animation is DEFINENTALLY another scary factor. Keep making amazing content. Love it
Finally found this again. This creepypasta always, ALWAYS creeps into my mind every time I get super duper high. It feels like my brain is going so fast that everything seems to gradually slow down.
5:24 There's another guy crouched on the floor. This kind of horror that makes you slowly realize the terror and piece things together is also what hooked me into SCP, and this creepypasta is eerily similar to SCP-3001.
Makes it more terrifying that someone else is suffering through the same thing. I don't even notice the guy sitting in the ground during first viewing until you pointed it out.
@@TheElectricCheeseProductions22 It actually does, considering this is animated, that guy being huddled would have to be intentionally added, so the guy making this put that there for anyone who re-watches.
@datboi1861 besides the fact that this concept has been done before, its internal logic is inconsistent. The brain is what controls the body; so if the brain is fast, so would the body (potentially to his detriment). He states that everything including his body is moving slowly, implying that the only thing that's being accelerated is his mind; yet his superhuman reflexes imply otherwise. Not to mention if there were "input lag" between his thoughts and movements, it would make physical activity incredibly difficult and clumsy. So which way is it author? Accelerated thought processing, or complete bodily acceleration? What's annoying is that the writer suddenly remembers halfway through that input lag would make movement incredibly difficult, and changes his writing accordingly.
@@datboi1861 The only thing that gives it a professional feel is the narration. Actually reading it yourself makes you notice how amateurish the writing actually is.
There’s a few holes in the story but this is one of the best creepy pastas I’ve ever heard… mainly because it’s more like a Stephen King short story than a cheap thrill. The animation was really well done as well, and the use of SFM easily makes me picture this happening but the half life/portal universe. Black Mesa or Aperture putting a random man into a living hell.
@@DaKingKaydenI was thinking about that too. I'm coming to this story after hearing it on Creep Cast and wanted to hear it a second time because I liked it so much, BUT that is a little bit of a plot hole. What's terrifying to think about though, especially with the small follow up we get in the sequel, is the "realistic" outcome would be he'd be sitting there for so long that he would eventually forget who he was, his life would fade like a distant memory becoming harder and harder to recall. Eventually he'd probably think that his life was always like that, sitting there. He'd forget how he got there in the first place. Even if he typed this out at rapid speeds, and it only took him a minute, recalling the events in detail would be worse than trying to explain a moment by moment detail of a random day from 50+ years ago. The plot hole in itself is a mind fuck to think about but it adds to how terrifying the whole thing is
this is by far the best short story I've ever watched. a tip of the hat to all involved in making this. well done. i live for stories like this, thankyou for sharing this with us. so freaking good.
i love this scary story, the fact that your going in slow motion, you can evade anything at fast pace for over an second between someone's view and change directions or switch properties around without people noticing, if you can have power to change it to normal speed and then going to normal time and everyone would see you, but being stuck in slow motion. gosh that'd be a pain and hell Scary
Holy hell this story somehow recreated my worst nightmare, I remember over a decade ago, I had a nightmare erriely similar to this one. It's an out of body experience, the environment around me frozen in time whilst my own body is stuck inside a container, eyes closed but aware and the nightmare feels like it lasts forever, enhancing the already horrifying experience. Eversince that day, atleast once a year I get that nightmare and it's a horrible experience, dry mouth, sweating, cramps all over my body, my heartbeat overloading, body heat at an all time high. I hate it and it's always the same one too, if not then a very similar nightmare. Oh good lord, I just finished watching the entire thing and my heartbeat is faster than before I started watching. Great job to the writer and animator, now everyone can experience my nightmare.
That is indeed an awful nightmare. This concept is rarely explored in media from what I know, but when it is, it always manages to disturb me more than almost anything else; can't imagine going through it myself.
I've had nightmares similar to this, but funnily enough I've never fully lost bodily autonomy during them. I can change my perception of what's happening in a dream at will, and usually I end up doing it on accident (which often makes me realize I'm dreaming, because real life doesn't work in that sort of jarring way, lol)- this is to say that even when I'm stuck somewhere in a dream it is always shifting around and I'm never... bored. I've had dreams about being in a 'hell' of sorts, a repeating cycle of pain and torment that has different events each time, but I'm always in control of my body for the most part throughout them, save for injuries accumulated and whatnot. Nightmares only truly suck when they poke at my social anxieties, I lose basically all of my ability to direct the flow of the dream when that happens. I get stuck, usually in a single reality, that spirals into ever increasingly terrifying real-life(ish) nightmare scenarios until something freaks me out enough to wake me up when that sort of thing is the dream I'm dealt to try to manage. This story reminds me of trying to fall asleep when I was younger, though... intense physical irritation, crawling skin and imperfect temperatures and whatnot making the whole thing miserable, and the digital clock flipping through numbers waaay too slowly before I either lose consciousness or give up and get out of bed to ask to stay up more. Luckily now that I'm an adult I don't have to worry about being scolded if I'm pacing around at midnight or something since I know how to be quiet, but trying to fall asleep on a night where my ASD is acting up and giving me uncomfortable phantom senses is still a hell much worse than anything my nightmares can throw at me. Idk, I feel like my neurodivergence has set me on a course to be... unable to be afraid of death. I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one as long as it's not anything like trying to fall asleep on a bad sensory night when you're too young to be allowed to get up whenever you please I feel like I can take it.
WOW, I'm once again impressed. This was a banger, I swear you make some of the best sfm animations I've seen and using the format to tell creepypasta stories, as someone who never really got into those, is really entertaining
this one is by far the best of all the creepypastas so far its just so brilliant to take the regular, monotonous element of time and contort it into a horrific, hopeless weight bearing down on the protagonist. It takes such regular, familiar contexts such as getting on a metro, trying to fall asleep, being bored, and twists them apart into messes of pure uncanny fear.
@@nuclearsteave1749 How could you even become normal after that? He has already stated he had every thought and imagined ever scenario in life during this trip.
Not only is this one of my favorite stories of all time, the voice over and animation are both amazing, they perfectly set up the mood of the story, and it had me genuinely worried even though I already knew the outcome. Keep doing the great work, I’ll be here for it.
"I came to a stop, days later..." Jesus, a terrifying concept read/animated in a great way by a great narrator. Got yourself an early sub, I look forward to your channel growth.
For people who don't know, this is a real thing that some people experienced but not for this long, just for a few seconds in real time. The phenomenon is called Tachypsychia and I really want to know how to trigger this.
I actually had this happen before, and my little bro saw as well. We heard some kind of impact in the air, and we noticed two birds that had collided in the air. We saw the feathers that fell off suddenly slowed down, and a white pickup truck coming by, it slowed down as well. It felt like everything slowed down for a few seconds. Then everything resumed the usual speed.
@Bob-of8zy Hard to say. It felt like the world "lagged' in a sense. And I even felt my body shut down for a split second, like I was having a kind of out of body experience. Then it was normal like nothing happened.
I listened to this video when it first came out. Here it is again on my feed. Not a vibe, today, for scary stories, but this deserves it. Of all the stories I've listened to, this one was always in the back of my mind. Legendary work.
I experienced every emotion imaginable to man while watching this. Every time the protagonist feels a small dose of pain (endless suffering to him) is excruciating to watch. This video felt much longer to watch than it really is, didn’t it. I wonder how DAMN LONG it took you to make this, considering that… SFM.
I did some calculations to find out how long time really felt for him. A blink lasts around 100 milliseconds, 50 for that phase of darkness he experienced. I did a test with reaching into my pocket and got a average of about 2.3 seconds, I'm going to assume he was literal with his use of decades as 2, as in 20 years. 20 years is about 631200000 seconds, devide that by 2.3 seconds and you get 274434782 seconds every second. Meaning deviding that by 50 (0.05 milliseconds) means that darkness lasted about 3 months, and the full blink lasted 6 months. But there's more, assuming that the docters hypothesis of the drug lasting a few as in 4 hours is incorrect due to the fact that the whole ordeal lasted 4 hours and 30 minutes. So im going to assume the Albion effected more then the time dilation. But the real time as well. I'll guess about 1 day. If there's 86400 seconds in a full day, and you multiply that by 274434782 seconds, you get 23711165000000 seconds. Meaning 1 full day(control) is equivalent to 751876 years the vicdom felt. 75187 decades, 7518 centuries. And yes I know the process is exponential. I'm only talking about the full 100% effect of the drug with the Albion. (The coolest part) But yea, I'd run myself over for sure.
Yeah, in the sequel the entire ordeal in real time lasted 90 minutes from the lab to the ER for which he became totally catatonic from the entire experience (grey matter in his brain was divorced from the rest of his brain with his neurons disconnected), like that JoJo character that stopped thinking trapped in endless space. The entire engram decay which measured duration of consciousness was estimated to be around 8 million years for S-47, the protagonist of this story.
This reminds me of "The Jaunt". Humans have developed a form of instantaneous travel where the physical body was moved quickly, but to the conscious mind the Jaunt lasts forever. Jauntees are under general anesthesia during the Jaunt. Some kid holds his breath to avoid being put to sleep, cause he wants to experience the Jaunt. He comes to the other side a rambling mess, and gouges his eyes out.
The book even mentioned the other incidences of someone going through awake. First instance was a convict who was promised his freedom if he went through awake. He emerged from the other side and only managed to say “it’s eternity in there” before dying from the shock. Another was the case of a man who tied up his wife and pushed her, still alive, into the open jaunt portal, but didn’t set an exit location, so she was stuck in the jaunt dimension forever.
The whole 'legs wanting to move faster but can't' thing, is a nightmare I have often. This is a special part of horror that i haven't seen since watching a few episodes of Black Mirror and Aniara. Well done, man.
Never heard and seen something so terrifying that includes no monsters or demons, no jumpscares or anything really unrealistic. Just pure good ass writing.
I feel like this story is a deconstruction of having super speed. When someone thinks about having super speed as a superpower, they don't think about what would happen realistically. Sure, you can move and think fast, but if you have only one or the other, you're screwed. If you have a quick mind but a slow body, you'll feel like a prison in your own body as your mind goes into overdrive while you move like a turtle, like our poor protagonist in the video. Things would be even worse if a person had only fast movement but a regular mind. You can move like The Flash, great. However, your mind won't process how fast you're going. A person would be running into walls or crashing into houses if they took a couple steps, or worse, they could end up across the country.
That reminds me of a story in the comic "Flinch"- in issue 16, "A Temporary Life". A guy takes place in a science experiment with an enzyme, and he can go super fast. So, he cleans his whole apartment, and it takes just five minutes. But, then it takes longer for time to pass. He tries speaking with his girlfriend at the laboratory, but he's too fast to be seen, just a blur, like the Flash. He has to sit for hours, and write down notes to talk to her, but she's slow- he's stuck in the speed. Then he grows old and is dying. She tries to run away, she's scared, so he bites her ankle. She freaks, kicks him, and he dies at last. She tries to get out of the lab with a scan-card, but it's too fast. Now she's been given the super-speed enzyme. Jus reminds me of that.
True but thats why to compensate for a fast mind the body must be fast. Yet in this story this could be like a what if flash powers were super speed but the perception around him vs people were insanly different with no turn off. That in itself would be more horrifying than one could ever imagine. A hell in the making and a fate worse than death.
Fortunately, perception of time and thinking speed aren't exactly the same, meaning in theory you can have accelerated thinking but not get bored faster. Our perception of time is an evolutionary mechanism to prevent us from wasting time. This is why during activities that our brain wants us to do, we feel like time goes faster, all because the brain wants us to keep doing it. If we ever want to develop the superfast thinking, we should keep it in mind and make necessary adjustments. Unfortunately for this guy, he is in the worst case scenario, every thought is accelerated and somehow even though his brain can x 1 000 000 + times of regular brain work this doesn't cause: 1. build up of brain waste products. (which suppose to be direct result of work done by brain, not just the time passed) 2. depletion of energy resources. (again, work requires energy) 3. Inability to feel pleasure and suffering the boredom included. (they are the direct result of hormones that need to be secreted, delivered and interact with receptors in the brain, which will take time, and that means they all will be extremely diluted. As soon as one molecule of dopamine, cortisol, serotonin, etc, it will be already processed and for this hyper accelerated brain it may take hours, to thousands years till the next molecule) 4. alteration in the brain structure to the point of losing its function. (brain structure physically changes even during the span of one human life. As we acquire skills and memories, we created new brain cells and connections between them. This man seems to be creating new memories and doesn't even lose his old ones, which would make his brain grow and change far beyond function and possible wouldn't even fit in the skull) It seems like the entire universe is against this poor fella, bending and changing its laws to accommodate this man's suffering, maybe that scientist was the Devil himself. 🤷♂
If you were to fall asleep and started dreaming in this scenario you would probably spend centuries in dream land as your physical body continues to sleep. Although you would probably become aware of yourself after a while and become a god of your own world once you learn how to control it which doesn’t sound too bad..
I totally love your animations. Source engine fits extremely well with horror genre. It is liminal and uncanny. Thank you so much for making these videos. You are my favorite channel . Keep doing these and you will become huge, this is goldmine. I needed to write this comment cuz i need to return the love back.
This sounds like the plot to an episode whose name I forget but was essentially modern Sherlock Holmes. A bunch of people got a drug that made them perceive time differently which made them go crazy
I dismissied creepypastas as b movie tier horror flicks, a ghost stories for the kids, an action adventure with darker tone rather then something that would seriously frighten me. this, this is searching that itch well. I love this. This is truly scary, a work of science fiction while not perfect, definitely makes my mind wonder "what would happen if I was this guy?" and it's horrifying. The animation is great, it makes enjoying the story so much nicer and honestly I feel like it makes the horror and emotions of it even more pronounced. Good job to everyone involved, holly shit that was good.
highly complex boltzmann brain optimized to feel as much pain and anguish as possible put on life support created entirely by random fluctuations on quantum scales, with no interference from the rest of the universe, and impossibility of the universe ever reaching a state in which the boltzmann brain is not in constant pain. expansion has ceased, and compression will never happen.

Peter Frost David is currently writing the sequel to "If you're armed and at the Glenmont metro, please shoot me." When it's done, we will learn about terrifying new uses for the mind-enhancing drug, and learn about the phenomenon of Second Death.
Read more from Peter Frost David on his website: www.anewkindofmonster.com/
Second Death? What's that, you say? You are a quick sci-fi read away from knowing what you need to know: www.amazon.com/dp/B09MLRZ8T9
are you going to animate it? I really like this story!
When new video
can you one day try something like "the mirror man" or "the knocking man" if you ever have time can you please make one of these ideas?
if you do:
The mirror man is seen in the mirror everytime but nowhere found in your house behind you, he just stares at you in the mirrors you look at
the knocking man always knocks at your door but, when you open it the man is nowhere to be seen, instead you just see a package with some pieces of human bones inside. (and stuff of your own idea), again if you WANT to
the sequel is out
Reminds me of The Jaunt. Honestly, what a great story!
The most realistic part of this story is this guy living for ten thousand years and still recalling how much of a slog it was to read 30 chapters of Moby Dick.
he had 10,000 years to recall it so yeah
Never read Moby Dick, but I imagine reading the complete works of Lovecraft compiled into one book _(a bit over a thousand pages - wouldn't have been so bad if the font hadn't been tiny and the editor had possessed any apparent idea of how to cleanly break up paragraphs)_ in slow-mo would be similarly hellish.
@@rando5638 oh god i think i know what youre talking about
@@rando5638Is that the one with the weird horizontally arranged paper? Its like whoever handled its creation had never even seen a book.
If the classics bore you just stop being pretentious and go back to watching whatever you actually enjoy. If you took a class that required it and it was a slog don't work in an industry where English comp and writing are a requirement. An eight year old who genuinely enjoys reading can enjoy Moby Dick. You can't, thats fine, just don't take a job you don't belong in.
idk if its just me but this story had me so immersed that despite it only being 22 minutes it felt much longer than that. Whoever wrote this has great descriptive writing skills.
💯💯💯💯
Well yeah they had thousands of years to make it as good as possible.
i find it hard to imagine just how long and boring that must've been... i catch myself imagining hours rather than days and days rather than years when i read this story. this is one criticism i have of the story, however i dont imagine its easy-- or even possible to write out just how long and boring it was without becoming tedious to read and write.
The animation too, who thought source models could convey so much emotion even in slowmotion
it felt like an eternity, i feel like I've just experienced centuries of this man's torture.
whoever wrote this is one of the best writers I've seen.

this story is literally the embodiment of "The problem with being faster than light is that you live in darkness."
fr
dammit now all i can think of is that dude dressed as sonic sitting in a wheelchair
FR
I always though that was a weird expression, I mean If you suddenly gained the ability to move faster than light there is a hell of a lot of light dispersed through the universe already right? So depending on the exact speed you're going at you'd have to go for potentially billions of years to escape its reach entirely, or go somewhere where there already wasn't light which is just as possible going at normal human speed
To be fair the whole thing is that his body can't keep up with his faster speed brain
The most horrifying part of a headshot with time being perceived this slow is experiencing 50+ years straight of incredibly severe traumatic brain injury.
Yes.
You have to use a powerful gun with a high velocity bullet. Maybe a .50 BMG sniper rifle or something. Then it would probably just only be like 1-5 years.
Brain doesnt have nerve endings to feel the pain,the only thing that would hurt is the bullet slowly piercing through skin and skull

Yeah, though ones about killers are a bit too basic for me honestly, things like this, creatures and such are what I look for in creepypastas, serial killers are real, we don't need to make them up
Bro glenmont metro is scary i pissed my pants when the train came
I like how one mistake made his problem go from manageable to dire. I was sitting here and I had to hold myself when the protagonist decided "Ah yes, let me take Ambien to help me sleep this experimental drug off.".
Time was already really slow for him too, so he had time to really consider the repercussions of just how dangerous that would be. Ideally you could spend time getting used to the effects as they were, browse articles online or at worst break into a library. And imagine the feeling of just writing out your story one letter every couple of weeks.
It be reality time in the dream
@john bruh it literally says on the label not to take it if you're under the influence of other drugs
@john also they would have told him not to take anything
It was a brand new drug. There wouldn't be any information online about how it would interact, or that it would have the opposite effect of making him sleepy
I'm coming back to write that my doctor started me on a new medication and it didn't take me very long before I started drinking.
I can see how the logic of the story pans out now.
It’s horrifying that my nerves went down as soon as we got that shot of the woman reacting to him in real time. Shows how scary this situation would be if it happened to you.
It's almost like he's alone, even when surrounded by hundreds of people. Nobody knows what's happening to him, and he couldn't communicate it if he tried. Even if he could they probably wouldn't believe him.
That's cool and all but what if instead of trying to kill himself he just spent the evening jacking it instead?

The worst thing is... theres no guarantee that anyone shot him, and or that it will ever happen. Or if this ever stopped. Truly terrifying story. Havent watched this in 9 months since it was posted and it still sticks with me

@@benbro20 It doesn't say that he died tho, the doctor notes how he isn't aware of his fate.

Just got back from saving this poor man at my local metro. It was terrible seeing him, hurdled up under a cardboard box with a sign asking for donations. I know for me pulling the trigger only lasted a couple seconds, but for him it probably lasted an eternity as he was shot. A terrible fate indeed, but at least, he was freed from it eventually.
I couldn't find his phone, though, but I blame that on the fact I was searching him quickly because I had to get away fast before the police were called.
Just capped my local metro's hobo locale too. They must've lived for at least a million years because the women I shot was capable of running but luckily I got her in the spine before she had a chance to trip and fall for centuries.

This horror story is not just about altered perception, though I doubt many people will see that on first viewing, it is about unintended interactions. One must never, EVER, take a drug without knowing the potential interactions with drugs you are already on. Let this be a horrifying but necessary message, and let's hope nobody watching this video ever forgets it. It may save your life.

Yea large doses of psychedelics can have a similar effect and its truly terrifying at first u do sorta just accept the slowness of everything after a while though
Edit: I got a bit further through if anyone wants to experience something like this for personal growth take alot of shrooms
Not quite the same, but it sort of feels like the same existential dread captured in "I have no mouth and I must scream"
estimated time for events:
10:15 - Administered pill
10:23 - Reads 3 magazines.
10:30 - Reads 30 chapters of Moby dick.
10:30 to 12:40 - Tests? Only part that makes sense for time discrepancy
~12:40/12:45 - Leaves for home.
~1:15 - Gets Home
1:25 - Tries sleeping
~1:35 - Takes Ambien
~2:10 - Starts leaving to go back to the offices.
~2:15/2:20 - Probably writes the story near this time.
~2:20 - Gets sent to ER due to acting erratically.

Words are incapable of describing how much I enjoyed this story. It's played on so many of my phobias and nightmares, that it instantly became my new favorite. And your animation and editing added so much to the story.
Describing the faces of people just there laughing and smiling at him while he was stuck in tripping was somthing I didn't know that could scare me. A single moment of embarrassment and pain became his entire life(s), and it got stretched out do so damn long. The idea of waiting for years just to have a sudden face among the crowd look away, just to notice another one looking right at him but this time is stuck in a smiling expression, or even a horrified one, shit....watching their faces shift into that expression is insanity inducing. A smile is a lunatic expression before settling on joyful. Man this was good.
Reminds me of the song Iron Man
This story had an impact on me for some hours I felt so different, I felt like I needed to appreciate my control of time
It really does highlight how much we take for granted something so basic as simple body control, so I don't blame you
When I finished watching this, I felt like I was moving in slow motion for a few seconds. This story is just so engaging and far more terrifying than any other paranormal or killer story
@@Haxxer82 exactly
One of my all time favorite creepy pastas.
@@Surkee bro i saw the slideshow and thought it would have lore or something lol
These kinds of stories are so much more terrifying than any monster stories honestly.
This to date is the best sfm creepypasta on TH-cam. The story, narration and especially the animation work greatly in tandem with each other. This so far is Surkee's greatest work and I hope to see them surpass this masterpiece.
This instilled a fear in me like nothing i've watched in Years. It's so interesting how him describing such pain so slowly made Me check how much longer the video was, it created a slow dragging kind of discomfort that mirrored the concept of the video. That said, much as that existential dread makes this work, I do have to wonder what it was like for him after it did eventually clear from his system assuming nobody came to kill him.
I read a story once about an alchemist who messed up and caused the same effect. It ended with him contemplating about how he could fashion up a sharp object and jam it into his head so it would kill him as quickly as possible, but it would take him incredibly long to even get to the point of stabbing himself. And then, it's another eternity of pain, waiting for his body to die.
May i know the name of this?

There's a drug that actually does this to you, called DXM. Thankfully DXM also gives you kind of an alcohol like stupor, and short term memory loss. So you just find yourself thinking 100 times in the same minute "oh my God it's still 6:01?????" Over and over again
scary
Before COVID threw a wrench into everything, I often commuted on the Metro system that Glenmont is part of (Washington DC's WMATA). That's quite a good recreation of the train platform.
I'd just argue that, even in light of being cognitively a lot faster than normal, he's -- as he's says -- still limited by how fast his body moves. By the time the author opens his Reddit app, opens up a submission page, composes all this, and hits submit, a train would likely already be arriving. Red Line trains back then ran every 6 or so minutes.
Well fingers can move pretty fast, so under his perception of time he could probably type the entire post within 5 minutes real time.
I think he decided that waiting for someone to shoot him was better since getting run over by a Train would be 10000x more agonizingly painful anyway, so the train may have arrived already but he was still waiting for someone to kill him.
@@Harold-TheJass-Blingman you're underestimating the reaction time, he could probably type that whole thing in 30 seconds
@@UltraMarine765 The original story has 19364 characters. Even with superhuman thinking your finger wouldn’t physically be able to click more than about 15 clicks per second. But just for arguments sake if he was able to type 20 unique keys per second (disregarding the time it would take to move your finger between each key) it would still take about 15 minutes. Say half that time if he typed with both thumbs, but I also think you should consider that he said his coordination actually got significantly worse, so he’d probably accidentally make mistakes, and have to go back and delete them
@@parknplay8328 good point
I can say with confidence that this is the most terrifying horror story I've ever read/watched
To learn that he didn't die to the train nor a bullet in the sequel is just despairing and instead spent 8 million years just stuck under that bench with nothing else but his thoughts. (FYI there is a sequel by the title "My patient spent 8 million years under a bench at the Glenmont Metro" same author and all that)
It was 90 minutes in real life if I recall correctly from the lab to the ER. Averaging that out, 1 second of time in human reality would be around 1428.6 years by S-47’s subjective time (≈ 18 human lifetimes, measured by 80 years which is a typical healthy human life-span). That’s insane. Now multiply that 5399 times again and you get what he experienced. It’s very likely that in the moment time came to a standstill on the stairs, a second would be much, much longer, likely tens of thousands of years. Crazy to think about…
This got me thinking. At around 5:14 the doctors say “It will wear off in a few hours…” so presumably this man is not trapped forever regardless if he is killed or not. (unless the doctors are wrong) so this means at one point the dude will randomly start perceiving time normally and then figure out what to do next.
Point is that he has already lived a thousand lifetimes in his mind, it would be impossible to go back to living normally
@@icedqq he will likely not be killed by someone by the time someone sees that message and ACTUALLY wants to kill him at best it might be the next day by the time the drug wears off, he might decide to kill himself once time gets a bit faster though
If it kept getting slower it would be infinite
@@icedqq I would've texted friends. He should've tried contacting the doctors
@Yest Well I still reckon he would remember every before that as well
this story already by itself is genuinely terrifying, but the animation makes it so much more, especially parts like when he went too fast and bent his finger, even though this is sfm i still had to look away at that scene.
i just realized, since thos guy is percieving his breathing so slowly it probably feels like he isn't breathing at all, meaning on top of the boredom and despair you'd feel there's also the lack of breath as well, spooky
This is probably one of my favorite creepypastas just because of how simple the concept is and yet how disturbingly well its xecuted
Your channel is criminally underrated, thank you for still working hard on these animations!
And thank you for these encouraging comments :D

This is very well done. This is the first creepypasta that actually terrified me. I still keep thinking about it, very disturbing. Good job to the writer.
I remember reading the original story on nosleep years ago and finding it to be probably the most creative work on the subreddit. So cool to see someone try and adapt it!
This is kind of... relatable. I once took twice the supposed dose of antidepresants on accident, leading to me leaving in slow-motion for a few hours. 2 hours lying in bed, looking at the ceiling and wondering if I should wake up.

@@FolstrimHoriwhat makes you say that?
@datboi1861 besides the fact that this concept has been done before, its internal logic is inconsistent. The brain is what controls the body; so if the brain is fast, so would the body (potentially to his detriment).
He states that everything including his body is moving slowly, implying that the only thing that's being accelerated is his mind; yet his superhuman reflexes imply otherwise. Not to mention if there were "input lag" between his thoughts and movements, it would make physical activity incredibly difficult and clumsy.
So which way is it author? Accelerated thought processing, or complete bodily acceleration?
What's annoying is that the writer suddenly remembers halfway through that input lag would make movement incredibly difficult, and changes his writing accordingly.
@@datboi1861 The only thing that gives it a professional feel is the narration. Actually reading it yourself makes you notice how amateurish the writing actually is.
There’s a few holes in the story but this is one of the best creepy pastas I’ve ever heard… mainly because it’s more like a Stephen King short story than a cheap thrill.

@@DaKingKaydenI was thinking about that too. I'm coming to this story after hearing it on Creep Cast and wanted to hear it a second time because I liked it so much, BUT that is a little bit of a plot hole. What's terrifying to think about though, especially with the small follow up we get in the sequel, is the "realistic" outcome would be he'd be sitting there for so long that he would eventually forget who he was, his life would fade like a distant memory becoming harder and harder to recall. Eventually he'd probably think that his life was always like that, sitting there. He'd forget how he got there in the first place. Even if he typed this out at rapid speeds, and it only took him a minute, recalling the events in detail would be worse than trying to explain a moment by moment detail of a random day from 50+ years ago. The plot hole in itself is a mind fuck to think about but it adds to how terrifying the whole thing is
this is by far the best short story I've ever watched. a tip of the hat to all involved in making this. well done. i live for stories like this, thankyou for sharing this with us. so freaking good.
i love this scary story, the fact that your going in slow motion, you can evade anything at fast pace for over an second between someone's view and change directions or switch properties around without people noticing, if you can have power to change it to normal speed and then going to normal time and everyone would see you, but being stuck in slow motion. gosh that'd be a pain and hell Scary
Holy hell this story somehow recreated my worst nightmare, I remember over a decade ago, I had a nightmare erriely similar to this one.
It's an out of body experience, the environment around me frozen in time whilst my own body is stuck inside a container, eyes closed but aware and the nightmare feels like it lasts forever, enhancing the already horrifying experience.
Eversince that day, atleast once a year I get that nightmare and it's a horrible experience, dry mouth, sweating, cramps all over my body, my heartbeat overloading, body heat at an all time high. I hate it and it's always the same one too, if not then a very similar nightmare.
Oh good lord, I just finished watching the entire thing and my heartbeat is faster than before I started watching. Great job to the writer and animator, now everyone can experience my nightmare.
That is indeed an awful nightmare. This concept is rarely explored in media from what I know, but when it is, it always manages to disturb me more than almost anything else; can't imagine going through it myself.
races season 2?
I've had nightmares similar to this, but funnily enough I've never fully lost bodily autonomy during them. I can change my perception of what's happening in a dream at will, and usually I end up doing it on accident (which often makes me realize I'm dreaming, because real life doesn't work in that sort of jarring way, lol)- this is to say that even when I'm stuck somewhere in a dream it is always shifting around and I'm never... bored. I've had dreams about being in a 'hell' of sorts, a repeating cycle of pain and torment that has different events each time, but I'm always in control of my body for the most part throughout them, save for injuries accumulated and whatnot. Nightmares only truly suck when they poke at my social anxieties, I lose basically all of my ability to direct the flow of the dream when that happens. I get stuck, usually in a single reality, that spirals into ever increasingly terrifying real-life(ish) nightmare scenarios until something freaks me out enough to wake me up when that sort of thing is the dream I'm dealt to try to manage.
This story reminds me of trying to fall asleep when I was younger, though... intense physical irritation, crawling skin and imperfect temperatures and whatnot making the whole thing miserable, and the digital clock flipping through numbers waaay too slowly before I either lose consciousness or give up and get out of bed to ask to stay up more. Luckily now that I'm an adult I don't have to worry about being scolded if I'm pacing around at midnight or something since I know how to be quiet, but trying to fall asleep on a night where my ASD is acting up and giving me uncomfortable phantom senses is still a hell much worse than anything my nightmares can throw at me.
Idk, I feel like my neurodivergence has set me on a course to be... unable to be afraid of death. I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one as long as it's not anything like trying to fall asleep on a bad sensory night when you're too young to be allowed to get up whenever you please I feel like I can take it.
Sounds kinda like sleep paralysis maybe?
@@Surkee It reminds me, conceptuallty of he Jaunt, or of that SCP that extends time and takes away sensory stimuli.
WOW, I'm once again impressed. This was a banger, I swear you make some of the best sfm animations I've seen and using the format to tell creepypasta stories, as someone who never really got into those, is really entertaining
this one is by far the best of all the creepypastas so far
its just so brilliant to take the regular, monotonous element of time and contort it into a horrific, hopeless weight bearing down on the protagonist. It takes such regular, familiar contexts such as getting on a metro, trying to fall asleep, being bored, and twists them apart into messes of pure uncanny fear.
Moral of the story:
Never do drugs.
Especially unknown, experimental drugs and chemicals.
2:16 THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT FELT TAKING ADDERALL FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!
This is frankly one of the most unsettling stories I've ever heard. Imprisoned, alone in his mind for millennia. Your animation is perfect.
Truly a hellish experience, there's no winning in this predicament other than from a stranger's mercy killing.
What a great read.
The worst part is that by the time someone has read this and has come to mercy kill him the effects most likely have worn off and he is back to normal
Yeah

@@nuclearsteave1749 You won't be psychologically normal. That is for sure.
You are probably one of the best SFM creepypasta animators that i ever saw on TH-cam.
Thank you so much!
The animation was perfect. the narration by MindlessMatter was amazing. love it surkee
I love these story videos on a whole another level. They make me feel so nostalgic for some reason. Pls keep uploading
Not only is this one of my favorite stories of all time, the voice over and animation are both amazing, they perfectly set up the mood of the story, and it had me genuinely worried even though I already knew the outcome.
Keep doing the great work, I’ll be here for it.
@@icedqq I read this story before.
I was glued to the screen the whole time. The sensations that've been so vividly described, portrayed majestically and ehnahced by your animation.
"I came to a stop, days later..."
Jesus, a terrifying concept read/animated in a great way by a great narrator. Got yourself an early sub, I look forward to your channel growth.
For people who don't know, this is a real thing that some people experienced but not for this long, just for a few seconds in real time. The phenomenon is called Tachypsychia and I really want to know how to trigger this.
get into a car crash and time will seem to slow
@@loganboi2166 the things i do to get my fix
I actually had this happen before, and my little bro saw as well. We heard some kind of impact in the air, and we noticed two birds that had collided in the air. We saw the feathers that fell off suddenly slowed down, and a white pickup truck coming by, it slowed down as well. It felt like everything slowed down for a few seconds. Then everything resumed the usual speed.
@@FirestoneAnimationDo you remember what you were feeling at the time ?
@Bob-of8zy Hard to say. It felt like the world "lagged' in a sense. And I even felt my body shut down for a split second, like I was having a kind of out of body experience. Then it was normal like nothing happened.
I listened to this video when it first came out. Here it is again on my feed. Not a vibe, today, for scary stories, but this deserves it.
Of all the stories I've listened to, this one was always in the back of my mind. Legendary work.
Creepypasta about drugs, hallucinations and slow motions. Fascinating
Holy shit... This was one of, if not the most dreadfully beautiful carefully crafted works of artistry I've ever seen. Near perfectly done.
I experienced every emotion imaginable to man while watching this. Every time the protagonist feels a small dose of pain (endless suffering to him) is excruciating to watch.
This video felt much longer to watch than it really is, didn’t it. I wonder how DAMN LONG it took you to make this, considering that… SFM.
I did some calculations to find out how long time really felt for him. A blink lasts around 100 milliseconds, 50 for that phase of darkness he experienced. I did a test with reaching into my pocket and got a average of about 2.3 seconds, I'm going to assume he was literal with his use of decades as 2, as in 20 years. 20 years is about 631200000 seconds, devide that by 2.3 seconds and you get 274434782 seconds every second. Meaning deviding that by 50 (0.05 milliseconds) means that darkness lasted about 3 months, and the full blink lasted 6 months.
But there's more, assuming that the docters hypothesis of the drug lasting a few as in 4 hours is incorrect due to the fact that the whole ordeal lasted 4 hours and 30 minutes. So im going to assume the Albion effected more then the time dilation. But the real time as well. I'll guess about 1 day. If there's 86400 seconds in a full day, and you multiply that by 274434782 seconds, you get 23711165000000 seconds. Meaning 1 full day(control) is equivalent to 751876 years the vicdom felt. 75187 decades, 7518 centuries. And yes I know the process is exponential. I'm only talking about the full 100% effect of the drug with the Albion. (The coolest part)
But yea, I'd run myself over for sure.
Yeah, in the sequel the entire ordeal in real time lasted 90 minutes from the lab to the ER for which he became totally catatonic from the entire experience (grey matter in his brain was divorced from the rest of his brain with his neurons disconnected), like that JoJo character that stopped thinking trapped in endless space. The entire engram decay which measured duration of consciousness was estimated to be around 8 million years for S-47, the protagonist of this story.
Please make more of these!! You are an amazing animator and deserve the praise!
I sure will!
This reminds me of "The Jaunt". Humans have developed a form of instantaneous travel where the physical body was moved quickly, but to the conscious mind the Jaunt lasts forever. Jauntees are under general anesthesia during the Jaunt. Some kid holds his breath to avoid being put to sleep, cause he wants to experience the Jaunt. He comes to the other side a rambling mess, and gouges his eyes out.
I remember that book from emesis blue, but yeah.
The book even mentioned the other incidences of someone going through awake. First instance was a convict who was promised his freedom if he went through awake. He emerged from the other side and only managed to say “it’s eternity in there” before dying from the shock.
Another was the case of a man who tied up his wife and pushed her, still alive, into the open jaunt portal, but didn’t set an exit location, so she was stuck in the jaunt dimension forever.

“IT’S LONGER THEN YOU THINK”
The whole 'legs wanting to move faster but can't' thing, is a nightmare I have often. This is a special part of horror that i haven't seen since watching a few episodes of Black Mirror and Aniara. Well done, man.
This was some of the best writing I've ever experienced.
The reading was at least as good.
The animation a nice bonus that brought it to life.
all of this is executed to perfection, the story and the animation both. immense props to both parties
Never heard and seen something so terrifying that includes no monsters or demons, no jumpscares or anything really unrealistic. Just pure good ass writing.
Wonderfully animated and truly a chilling tale. It's been a long time since a creepy pasta has made me feel something but this one was it.
I feel like this story is a deconstruction of having super speed. When someone thinks about having super speed as a superpower, they don't think about what would happen realistically. Sure, you can move and think fast, but if you have only one or the other, you're screwed. If you have a quick mind but a slow body, you'll feel like a prison in your own body as your mind goes into overdrive while you move like a turtle, like our poor protagonist in the video. Things would be even worse if a person had only fast movement but a regular mind. You can move like The Flash, great. However, your mind won't process how fast you're going. A person would be running into walls or crashing into houses if they took a couple steps, or worse, they could end up across the country.
That reminds me of a story in the comic "Flinch"- in issue 16, "A Temporary Life". A guy takes place in a science experiment with an enzyme, and he can go super fast. So, he cleans his whole apartment, and it takes just five minutes.
But, then it takes longer for time to pass. He tries speaking with his girlfriend at the laboratory, but he's too fast to be seen, just a blur, like the Flash. He has to sit for hours, and write down notes to talk to her, but she's slow- he's stuck in the speed.
Then he grows old and is dying. She tries to run away, she's scared, so he bites her ankle. She freaks, kicks him, and he dies at last.
She tries to get out of the lab with a scan-card, but it's too fast. Now she's been given the super-speed enzyme.
Jus reminds me of that.
True but thats why to compensate for a fast mind the body must be fast. Yet in this story this could be like a what if flash powers were super speed but the perception around him vs people were insanly different with no turn off. That in itself would be more horrifying than one could ever imagine. A hell in the making and a fate worse than death.
Fortunately, perception of time and thinking speed aren't exactly the same, meaning in theory you can have accelerated thinking but not get bored faster. Our perception of time is an evolutionary mechanism to prevent us from wasting time. This is why during activities that our brain wants us to do, we feel like time goes faster, all because the brain wants us to keep doing it. If we ever want to develop the superfast thinking, we should keep it in mind and make necessary adjustments.
Unfortunately for this guy, he is in the worst case scenario, every thought is accelerated and somehow even though his brain can x 1 000 000 + times of regular brain work this doesn't cause:
1. build up of brain waste products. (which suppose to be direct result of work done by brain, not just the time passed)
2. depletion of energy resources. (again, work requires energy)
3. Inability to feel pleasure and suffering the boredom included. (they are the direct result of hormones that need to be secreted, delivered and interact with receptors in the brain, which will take time, and that means they all will be extremely diluted. As soon as one molecule of dopamine, cortisol, serotonin, etc, it will be already processed and for this hyper accelerated brain it may take hours, to thousands years till the next molecule)
4. alteration in the brain structure to the point of losing its function. (brain structure physically changes even during the span of one human life. As we acquire skills and memories, we created new brain cells and connections between them. This man seems to be creating new memories and doesn't even lose his old ones, which would make his brain grow and change far beyond function and possible wouldn't even fit in the skull)
It seems like the entire universe is against this poor fella, bending and changing its laws to accommodate this man's suffering, maybe that scientist was the Devil himself. 🤷♂
@@libertyprime1614 Damnnnn
Friction would kill a flash like man, like having a fast car but the speed limit is 12 and if you go over you die
It's All fun and games until Zeptoseconds start Feeling like Googol Years! 💀
If you were to fall asleep and started dreaming in this scenario you would probably spend centuries in dream land as your physical body continues to sleep. Although you would probably become aware of yourself after a while and become a god of your own world once you learn how to control it which doesn’t sound too bad..
I totally love your animations. Source engine fits extremely well with horror genre. It is liminal and uncanny. Thank you so much for making these videos. You are my favorite channel . Keep doing these and you will become huge, this is goldmine. I needed to write this comment cuz i need to return the love back.
Thank you very much for writing it. These comments are very encouraging to me :)
I agree wholeheartedly, the source engine is almost indescribable in how it makes a certain environment feel uncanny, but it works so well.

im crying bruh💀
it is slowed, at least
This sounds like the plot to an episode whose name I forget but was essentially modern Sherlock Holmes. A bunch of people got a drug that made them perceive time differently which made them go crazy
I dismissied creepypastas as b movie tier horror flicks, a ghost stories for the kids, an action adventure with darker tone rather then something that would seriously frighten me.
this, this is searching that itch well. I love this. This is truly scary, a work of science fiction while not perfect, definitely makes my mind wonder "what would happen if I was this guy?" and it's horrifying. The animation is great, it makes enjoying the story so much nicer and honestly I feel like it makes the horror and emotions of it even more pronounced. Good job to everyone involved, holly shit that was good.
i wish there were more SFM creepypastas out there, i absolutely adore them!
This has to be one of my favorite horror stories im glad to see it finally be animated
this video has managed to consistently put me in a bad mood everytime i think about it, good job surkee
This is one of the only few videos that manage to give me an existential crisis props to whoever written the concept and to the person who animated it
This is honestly the most terrifying fate I could ever think of, big props to the story maker and big props to Surkee
