The trickle of rain, the ever-present sound of thumping you get from the car driving over the highway on a long drive, the atmosphere in this one was just brilliant man.
not any 7/11 employee I ever met.... the most common trait I've witnessed would be described as.... "asshole" how dare you! no, I mean that's the trait i see in most 7/11 employees....ugh
Seems like a lot of stories written in third person end up with the main character dying. Now whenever I hear a horror story written in third person I cant help but think "they're definitely gonna end up dead".
@@plaguerat5911 That's something I like about 3rd-person ones lol Because when they're 1st-person, then you know for sure that the person survives which can take away some of the suspense
"All those guys from the funeral are gonna follow you home! They're gonna come get ya! They wanna be you're boyfriend!" So cheerful I love the way u said it XD
4:14-4:15 That glitch though. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it sure is helping immerse me in the story all the more. Especially since the story has devices glitching because of supernatural forces.
We do need a follow up to this story, want to know what the monsters are and how people take a stand against them, could have a lot of potential to be a 3 or more part story
That takes away the horror tho, the moment you know about the creature it becomes less scary because we fear what we don't understand. Although a series like that would be really cool
You don't understand the hype i feel from seeing you upload another video! Truly one of the few things I genuinely look forward to in life. Thank you for keeping up the hard work, my mans. Truly means the world to me!
Friend, since finding your channel I have listened to a LOT of creepypastas... and it's not been very long since I found your channel. Really appreciate you and the work of the writers your read.
I've been thinking about this story out of nowhere for days and this is like the first comment I see. Real talk that was a great narration and great story. It's sequel is just as interesting, good author in general.
I don't know what it is about the piano melody used in some of your narrations around this time but it made them so much more terrifying. The sound doesn't leave me when I turn off the video. The same notes, repeated over and over in the distance play until I finally find some sleep. Its truly maddening, I'm glad it hasn't been used much recently.
I haven’t finished the video yet but the opening sequence of this story reminds me a lot of the opening in Resident Evil 2. The dark stormy night, the convenience store setting, the zombie-like behavior from the employee? It makes me feel like Leon or Claire should be there.
What a great story never saw that coming geeez especially that part where I . . . . . . Totally lied & couldn't have finished the 30 minute story that came out less then a minute ago !!! Hahaha
This was really good! I really wanted to see it continue though with the two siblings trying to find a way out of the town while bonding due to their troubled past. There's a lot of potential here, so it's kind of a shame that the author cut it short with that twist ending.
God man, I love these stories. Whenever I have to just turn off my brain and so some repetitive work, I love to just put on your stories and chill. Great work dude! Keep it up! Was here way before you started adding more voice actors, which I love!
@@Darksomnium your narrations are getting me through a really rough time. they’ve kept me from doing things I know I’d regret. even if they’re creepypastas and are meant to scare you, it’s like a lullaby to me. when I sleep to these, my nightmares are less severe so truly, thank YOU so much for everything❤️please don’t stop making these
Awesome job, thank you from the insomniac in the UK. The way these reach out and grip me in a very visceral sense, is a testament to the quality of the voice actors and the music!! I hope to see everyone again in the next livestream?!! Kind regards and best wishes. Andrea, Jasper and George the Pigeon. ❤️. XxX. ❤️.
Well Dark and ROM this was a surprise story. I didn’t have any clue of what was going to happen! That’s great when I can’t guess. Your voices and Rom’s are so consuming in the terror portrayed. I think you are my Favorite Horror Narrator! This channel has incredible videos. I found you earlier this year as I didn’t think I loved horror or creepy stories. I was wrong. You have a gift! I’m glad I get to play catch-up with all the older content! Thank you so much! If you see this have a Wonderful Holiday Season!
Really wishing I found this channel way before a week ago. I've missed out on SO MUCH entertainment... Just looking forward for what's to come! Thanks for all you do and for what you have yet to.
Brilliant. Writing, Narration, Sound, Music. Simply spot on. I think Rom has really matured as a voice artist & she had an excellent performance. Kudos. It’s not easy. Your voices & tempo mirrored the intensity of the story. I don’t know what else to say, but what town is this? I didn’t have a 7-11, McDs, KFC, Pizza Hut whilst I was growing up, although off the top of my head, we had 23 Churches within a 12 mile radius. Hmm...A town with chain restaurants seem like a good place to settle down & raise kids. Again, bravo on yet another outstanding narration. Loved it.
This video doesn't say that I have seen it though I thought I did. 2023 if I did see this I will listen to it again so many stories I loose track but good enough to listen to it again. Thank you again for your time dark somnium and friends. No didn't see this one yet.
God damn this a good one, some of your best work. Excellent sound design and vocal effects/editing. The visual art is so fuckin sick too, I can watch it for hours. Much love to you and rom.
@@Darksomnium just finished watching the story, that was an incredibly uncanny and unnerving story and paired with the sound design and the really good narration of yourself and the woman narrating with you made it a fantastic experience
I’m not sure if you’ll see this but you’ve replied to my comments a few times in the past I just wanna say I can speak for all of us when I say we love how much you interact with us in the comments truly appreciated good story as always!!
Now this one... you've FINALLY started choosing some goooooood ones! Almost like an old school creepypasta. I miss the good ones that you used to choose. Thanks for that one!!! Made me smile. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👻👻👻👻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The fact that this channel only uses 2 voice actors (i think) and still have this amazing quality of content is amazing and is why i watch ONLY this channel now
I’ve listened to a LOT of CreepyPasta readings, and I actually think Rose is the only lesbian character that I’ve come across aside from Jane the Killer and her wife. There’s Evelyn from Lonely Broadcast Station, who was hinted at being bi, but it’s never been outright confirmed. So hey, bonus points for diversity! Shame she PROBABLY didn’t make it out of the town though 😅
Awesome background/wallpaper. I dig it when you use your female friend to narrate. She's great & a big difference maker for guys who do light voices for female characters. Well done guys/gals.
Agreed, very nice to have an actual female doing female voices (thanks rom 💜). On the flip side my favorite guy who does female voices (along with all kinds of male voice accents) is NaturesTemper, his voice acting is hilarious. He's done some collabs with Dark Somnium. Check him out if u haven't yet.
@@Mizzle420420, yeah Tarzan could be a Hollywood voice actor NP. He can pretty much do every voice & accent. His Worst Hotel Shift (with NY accent was excellent). But I wanted to give props to Ronnie for bringing in a really good female narrator. Idk if she's his gf or what - but she's done several videos that were really great (You're My Baby) comes to mind. Have a boss day my friend!
Bro ur voice is so soothing you describe things so well but can we get longer stories like the left right game I understand it takes longer to post those but the left right story and the 1 with the voids are so amazing also your music and how you have background noise is cheifs kiss man your amazing you legend also can't wait for part 2 also another 1 of my fav stories is i work at a bar that's sells drinks for stories ❤
@@Darksomnium omfg you replied thx so much man your 1 of my fav youtubers especially when gaming or just doing something thanks so much Ik ur a busy man so this means a lot this made my week man
The trickle of rain, the ever-present sound of thumping you get from the car driving over the highway on a long drive, the atmosphere in this one was just brilliant man.
thank you :)
I think the “thumping” is the wipers
@@NameAvailable those are some loud wipers
@@suitbanter1851 ... well you really shouldn’t hear a thumping when you drive other than the wipers... though ‘thumping’ is a strong word.
@@TheSCPStudio it must be the evenly spaced potholes
7-Eleven employee of the month right there, even death won't stop him from helping his customer!
They better be paying him overtime it would suck if they're just making him work off the clock
not any 7/11 employee I ever met....
the most common trait I've witnessed would be described as.... "asshole" how dare you! no, I mean that's the trait i see in most 7/11 employees....ugh
There is something creepy about a 3rd person story. Like you’re the being stalking the protagonist. I love it
Seems like a lot of stories written in third person end up with the main character dying. Now whenever I hear a horror story written in third person I cant help but think "they're definitely gonna end up dead".
@@plaguerat5911 That's something I like about 3rd-person ones lol Because when they're 1st-person, then you know for sure that the person survives which can take away some of the suspense
@@MrAnthonyIII Spoilers:
Ted the Caver, Portal in the Forest show how to make exceptions
@@MrAnthonyIII This is wrong. In many first person story you have something worse, the implied death of the character.
most novels have this structure
go read any fiction novel of any genre horror, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery etc
seriously this isn't strange at all
"All those guys from the funeral are gonna follow you home! They're gonna come get ya! They wanna be you're boyfriend!" So cheerful I love the way u said it XD
XD
That's what made her a lesbian
that bit reminded me of the opening to Night Of The Living Dead
they're coming for you Barbara, they've been dead for so long....
LMAO!!
4:14-4:15 That glitch though.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it sure is helping immerse me in the story all the more. Especially since the story has devices glitching because of supernatural forces.
The time code is a bit early man
:D
@@Darksomnium :D
Made me jump 😄
Had to rewind to see if I was buggin or not
The sound design in your storys is truly astounding :)
Glad you think so!
Absolutely
Best in the business!
@@Darksomnium Where do you get your SFX from anyway?
Agreed!
I liked the echo of the brother's mocking words in her thoughts. Sounded really real.
We do need a follow up to this story, want to know what the monsters are and how people take a stand against them, could have a lot of potential to be a 3 or more part story
I agree, Ill be extremely surprised and disappointed if this doesn't turn out to be a mini-series!
Honestly, no. It's a good one off and with a memorable and interpretive ending. Not every story needs to be a series.
That takes away the horror tho, the moment you know about the creature it becomes less scary because we fear what we don't understand. Although a series like that would be really cool
@@kookykoruc1827 nah. If you read Sweet Home, that shit was scary even after we knew about all the monsters.
@@8MoneyIzmyMission8 you sir show a point that can’t be refuted. Also you are gonna make me stay awake for 2 days remembering that again.
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I think you forgot to put “My friends and I explored the depths of the Wailing Cave” on Apple Podcast.
Oh thank you for letting me know! I'll make sure to get that added in the morning!
You don't understand the hype i feel from seeing you upload another video! Truly one of the few things I genuinely look forward to in life. Thank you for keeping up the hard work, my mans. Truly means the world to me!
im honored, thank you :)
Fr, I'm right there with you on that
I love when you guys team up for a story! Amazing story! Great content as always.
Wait...how on earth did you add that image?
How the fuck did you add a picture?
How?!
Friend, since finding your channel I have listened to a LOT of creepypastas... and it's not been very long since I found your channel.
Really appreciate you and the work of the writers your read.
Perfect timing for some monster hunter and creepy pasta
Literal same
Same
Aahhh wtf same
Stop copying me guys
hit up the path of exile and somnium if you don't wanna sleep
Your voice, your music, the time you put into the effects to build atmosphere, makes you one of the best readers I've heard on here
Great job 🥰
no you! :D
No the both of u 🤣🖤🖤
Dang, and I just got told we don’t have work tonight! Guess this gem will have to wait just a bit longer :(
at least you have the night off :D
Just want to say mybad it was my first day at this 7-11. I sometimes tend to violently BASH my face into glass when I get nervous!!! Lmao
haha xD
Love your name 😆
I’ve listened to this story a lot, but it’s only now that I’m thinking about the process of converting a funeral home into a 7-Eleven
Beautiful work I love listening to it while I work on schoolwork keep it up man good luck
Glad you enjoy it!
Same, I listen to his stories while i do homework
I’ve listen to quite a few of these stories now and this one really immersed me more than most. Excellent work as always thank you
Thanks. Been having Dark Somnium withdrawal symptoms. Looking forward to this.
Is Rosemary isn’t scared, I sure as heck am!😂
Loved this one!
First and I love your videos bro, the story that introduced me was “stuck”
thank you so much! there's a part 2 to that story that came out recently :D i plan on doing it soon!
I've been thinking about this story out of nowhere for days and this is like the first comment I see.
Real talk that was a great narration and great story. It's sequel is just as interesting, good author in general.
@@reminiscentiaoff4669 thank you! :D
Mine was "Chrome Sunset"
@@Darksomnium how I became a god I think was your best stories.

I love all of your narrations, the sound effects, the music, everything. I can't even listen to anyone else at this point
thank you so much kate!
@@Darksomnium thank you for providing narrations for us!
He deserves a mil+ following for sure. They only get better over time too!
The moment richie said "most of them cant pass for human" i knew what was up. Great story
I thought you couldn’t get any better man 👍🏼 I felt so immersed in this story. Your subscribers also blew up, congrats ! You deserve it
I can not understand how you don't have more subscribers! You're music and sounds are on point. Your voice is amazing and so are the stories!
This was really good! I really wanted to see it continue though with the two siblings trying to find a way out of the town while bonding due to their troubled past. There's a lot of potential here, so it's kind of a shame that the author cut it short with that twist ending.
Bruh... M8 the brother was one of them
i've only found this channel recently but i've binge-watched nearly all of your vids. Great stuff man.
Glad you like them!
Fantastic work as always dude :) please never stop
Thanks a lot!
Im so happy for you bro! Have been here when u had under 100k subs and wow how you have been growing. Wish u all the best❤️
At 4:14 it scared tf out of me as I was dozing off into sleep. I thought I was losing it till I rewinded it 🤣
When life gets tough, ronnie uploads. It seems to have been that way for a good many years now and i am very thankful for it
God man, I love these stories. Whenever I have to just turn off my brain and so some repetitive work, I love to just put on your stories and chill. Great work dude! Keep it up! Was here way before you started adding more voice actors, which I love!

You mean like the world we live in? Cuz these stories do exist 😉
@@Mizzle420420 yeah ok
That would be crazy.

Decided to go to bed early for once and here you are with a new story for me to relax to. Perfect timing. Any nice long ones coming anytime soon?
thank you! yeah i have a few long ones coming up :D
Another very good story! The geographical placement really spoke to me personally.
Thx so much Somnium for the story love you're work keep up the tremendously good work
Dang, haven't heard a horror storie in third person in a while, made my day :D
Why is the story called Town of Giants? If it's about zombies?
I refreshed your Channel In the right time lol
awww yeah B) haha
Ok didn't expect that ending ohh I have shivers
ohhh 4 mins ago! perfect timing asI just finished up the day, thanks dark somnium!
np! hope you like the video :D
I'm always hyped to hear another of these stories man
Excellent, as always!
i do love this channel.
i am glad i found it!That story about a bar that takes stories as payment was amazing !
Excellent choice as usual, thank so much for your great and consistent content! I really look forward to it every day :)
The sound effects are a amazing touch. Love your work keep it going and plz put on spotify more.
Favorite creepypasta channel by far i love the immersive background sound you include
Not bad weird little alien creepypasta to end the night on is always a good thing.
The fact that this channel only uses 2 voice actors (i think) and still have this amazing quality of content is amazing and is why i watch ONLY this channel now
Perfect timing once again, a good story just before bed.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I find the lack of giants in this story disturbing... =(
been tryna listen for about a week now but somehow fall asleep every time, I’m down bad.
Really enjoying every video you make
I listen tomorrow I gotta sleep soon lmao it’s almost 9 pm and I gots school
have a good night! :)
@@Darksomnium thank you! ❤️
This one really got to me. The very first nightmare I remember (about age 4) was about giants! This is gonna be stuck in my head for a long time!😲
