I LOVE this story it was like the first creepypasta I ever read I could never find it again after the first time...what a blessing; my favorite narrator and easily one of my favorite ever stories!!
I haven't had a story that actually made me tense up and make me nervous in a long time. For some reason this story made me feel really uneasy. Maybe childhood fear of the simple monster in the woods and under your bed. The detailed descriptions from the author make it very easy to imagine as well, so that helps add to the nightmare fuel. Great job with the narration as always.

I feel so weird just listening to this it feels like it’s just a creep hiding in a kids bedroom

This is the second rapiest tree stump I’ve ever heard of.
Maybe it's a new SCP?

The weird sexual creepiness is actually a really interesting, and potentially effective horror tool. I think part of the trick to good horror is just knocking the reader/listener/viewer off-balance, mentally, by unnerving them in ways they didn't expect - and this creature was really fucking unnerving
That's exactly it.
Its called a vore story
Stop using big words I’m special 😂
It's already enough that it's saying my name all the time

Finally a horror protagonist that can run. 🏃♂️

That could run. Now... not so much...
Literally and figuratively.
Lol
Not any more lol
Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard of rapey tree stumps, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
What was the first time????
Hmmmm. Can’t recall now, but probably german folklore.
@@AtaMarKat makes sense,lol. A lot of old folklore is disturbing or creepy.

Well it’s not really the tree it’s a demon-big foot thing.

woah i never felt so uncomfortable hearing about piss...great story tho.
I woulda pissed on the stump
This went from soothing to a whole gallon of wtf in a heartbeat! (And I mean that as a compliment XD)
Better with every narration, loving the background too!
I thought it said: "The Simp"
It was just after some fresh Gamer Girl Pee™
I mean you're not wrong
the animal dude was kind of a simp ngl
It's a simp for fresh urine.
the way you voice acted the creature was just down right terrifying and gave me chills. good job dude!
Oh yeah, I remember narrating this one....I had a whole reddit group calling me a pedophile for a week because of this story. I took it off my channel after two days. Goodluck with it lol.
sorry to hear that! :O
Man, that's insane! People jump to conclusions from the farthest distances sometimes. Logic seems to be optional for those kinds of people. Sucks you had to endure that crap. In all truth and reality, being labeled a Pedo is probably the single worst accusation against one's character. At least, IMO. And so many people throw that around, accusing people of being one, for the simplest, and often, unrelated things. Its messed up. I hope it quieted down for ya relatively quickly after you took down the story. Too bad it even came to that. You shouldn't have had yo. But I understand why you did. I would have likely done the same.
What, for real?? Didn't those people understand that it's just a creepypasta not even written by you? Man, people are very strange...
It's Reddit.

Describing his sprint from the beast was the best part of the story
The way the Animal talked reminds me of Freaky Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog. If that show was R rated, then everything it said would perfectly match the unnerving quality of Fred. This story hardly needed gore to make my skin crawl.
yep, that's 100% Pennywise's cousin
That's not his cousin. That is Pennywise.

Hahahah maybe his dad?😁🤡

Glad you liked it!
You really of have a great voice for somber stories. Though you do a great job with a lot of non-somber stories as well. I think the fact that you create your own music for the stories you read, really makes that true, as you can design the music for the story. I guess what I'm saying is, I love your stuff and keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much!
Well said indeed 👌
🥰🖤🖤💯
This was probably the creepiest story I’ve listened to. The sexual inclination were strange but it gave life to such an evil tone. I loved it.
That stump hugging creature was giving off some major Tommy Taffy vibes...
Loved the story! As always, the way you narrated kept me on edge the whole time. The most fun thing for me now is figuring out what this story could be actually about. I‘m pretty sure that it is about childhood trauma. But what exactly happened to him? The house he found in the forest seemed to be a memory directly from his childhood. The reasons the windows were so high up was because that’s how a small child would perceive them. Was the creature he stumbled upon supposed to represent someone who hurt him as a child? Its human eyes referring to an actual person? Could that person be his mother who’s voice it imitates in the end? What did she do to him? The weird sexual nature of the creatures speech indicates sexual abuse. Also the creature „drinking his urine“ could be what a confused young child that is sexually abused would see. Maybe I’m reading too much into this but I nonetheless find it amazing how the author wasn‘t afraid to actually make the reader uncomfortable an potentially even tackle hard topics like this. Especially since it is often overlooked that men can be the victim of rape too.
This story was perfectly narrated but it was horrifying for me, because your brilliant portrayal of Alex really resonated with me. Truthfully (and bizarrely), I was absolutely petrified of tree stumps. My parents were initially shocked, then mystified, when at only 2 years old, I went from a smiling, happy toddler to a sobbing, shaking wreck as my parents parked in front of my favorite aunt’s house, and I saw the tree stump that had been between the sidewalk and the curb since my aunt and uncle moved there 3 yrs prior. At that age, I couldn’t explain what scared me; all I could do is point and sob. As first time parents, they were astounded by my unprecedented melt down, but let it go when I immediately calmed down once we were inside. But as soon as I realized they were getting ready to leave, I became so upset that my parents had to cover my head and my big brave fire fighter uncle held my hand in order to get me back in the car. That intense fear overwhelmed me every time we visited my aunt & uncle while they lived at that house. When I was about 4, my cousins begged me to spend the night with them, and I reluctantly agreed, but my poor dad had to come get me at 3am when I woke up screaming about that damn tree stump. Thankfully, my aunt & uncle moved a year later, but my fear continued. I only remember unexpectedly coming across one more tree stump in a park and had the same violent reaction. At some point I outgrew the fear, but I vividly remember my phobia 60+ years later. Ironically, we just had to have the huge oak tree which sat in the middle of our front yard cut down due to disease, and every time I’m near the remaining stump, I find myself trying to figure out why I was so frightened of something so natural. Trust me, I know how weird this must sound; in fact, I’ve never shared my experiences until now. As a historian, I’ve often wondered if I might have been decapitated on a tree stump in a previous life, but now I find myself wondering if I too met a monster lying across a tree stump, waiting to torture and murder me? I do know this; sometimes truth IS stranger than fiction!😊💓
When a kid finds something scary, there's no way of explaining why, it just is... thank you for sharing your story!
Wow... finally my ex got his own creepypasta. So happy for him.
Lmfao he pee peed himself
@@Protozoa99 Girl, he is definitely a monster. He took my PS4 when he moved out.

That’s just evil in its purest form! 🔥👹🔥

I love how you add the emotions to the narration. It makes it very special to listen too.
Thank you!
Thanks! Now I can tell my kids why they should not pee their pants. Fastest way to potty train your child.
Or traumatize 😂
@@andymthembu3254 Best way to make your kids eat their veggies is to tell them their teeth will fall out one by one and their gums will bleed, and the bonus is that scury is a completely real thing too! Yum!
Real talk tho, only slightly traumatise your children into behaving. Very slightly.
And if they poop their pants past the age of 3 and refuse to potty train, the Poop Clown will get them!
And if they pick their nose, a snail with sharp teeth that loves up there will bite their finger and make it bleed eventually.
😂
My kids tell their younger siblings those 2. I don't even have to! Lol. Poor babies. Luckily they only half believe it, as all my family has vivid imaginations and are always telling each other total BS stories and trying 4o get each other to believe it. Haha
The way I see it, this story could be an allegory for the lingering trauma Alex may have gotten from a childhood of sexual abuse, possibly from his mother given the monster mimicking his mothers voice. The animal could be his own personal boogeyman of sorts, a collection of the fear and confusion he had to go through, still lingering behind him as an adult, always watching.
... I'm unsure what to think about this story. It's strangely unsettling.
“The Stump” would be a great Stage-Name for a quadriplegic kickboxer
It shouldn't be as funny as it is.
Wow. Sooo gripping.
I've been listening to creepy pasta for years now. The effort that goes into your work is the best I've encountered. The expression, the tones, the accents, the depth of feeling in your narration is amazing. And the sound effects and music is second to none. Well done
I’m not even gonna lie: your pacing is amazing. Soon it gets to the good parts I can feel the dread, the panic, and the fear, Just back to back like a rollercoaster
There's some vague but unnerving implications about the protagonist's childhood I'm getting here.
Man you peeing on him really pissed him off all those years 🤣
Or made the creature a pedophile
Reminds me of a horror version of the Lorax! Great story/narration though!!
This is exactly what I thought. I’ll never see the Lorax the same.
😂
I will now place my copy of, “The Lorax” in the erotica section of my library.
I am the Lorax and i speak for the trees!Chop down another and I'll break your fucking knees!
A person 😂
I am the lorax!
I speak for the trees!

Now get on your knees....
If it isn't another story from my favorite narrator.
WTF IS YOUR CHANNEL PIC
Void_ghost _ I second that
Its all fun and games til the hair ball starts getting thirsty D:
Just finished catching up on other narration channels, and my favorite one posts a video just as i thought i was all out. Looks like i will get another 23 mins of creepyness for today!
haha hope you like it dalton :D
What happened with the house? Was it just meant to be a red herring, or did the writer genuinely forget about it?
Corn Lord I think it was supposed to refer his childhood home. The fact that the windows were so high up could be because his memories stemmed from a time when he was still a small child.
no creepypasta has made me feel genuinely disturbed until this one. the most I've ever felt was a little creepiness that was more of a thrill than anything, but this one was *disturbing*
fantastic narration, though! you always do a great job at immersion :)
I came from the "return to the forest" compilation from a month ago because I wanted to talk about this story specifically
I am always in awe of how well you pick your stories. Always actually scary, never over the top.
That monster just wanted a yellow snow cone 😂
DUDE I AM LISTENING TO THIS ON MY JOG!!!!! Had to stop 3 min in to say that, I'm at the greenwAy and there are woods everywhere, this is so cool, jogging while listening to protagonist jog...VERY IMMERSIVE!!!! 😈😎😇
I.... Hope that's where the full immersion ended lol. I bet if you passed any stumps, you side eyed them and kept going 😂
Spoilers
It has taken me a year to realize that the title ‘the stump’ isn’t referring to the stump the creature was behind, but what remained of the narrator’s leg.
Oh this was profoundly uncomfortable to listen to and entirely because of the sexual mannerisms of the creature, well done on the narration as usual.
OMG I heard this one YEARS back on another channel.. Probably 5+ years ago! Could never remember the name to find it again!
I-I don't think I took a single breath after "The Stump" spoke, I literally stopped everything I was doing once it started getting morbidly disturbing...
The sound effects were NOT necessary for the leg part, SIR!!!
This is off putting....... Genuinely scared me for a minute....
It's 5 am and i need to sleep but i can not resist the temptation of another amazing story. Thank you bro for these narrations.
Dude, that was totally freaky. And you executed freaky exceptionally well. 👍
Finally, a large, active creepypasta reader that actually has a good voice.
This is by far my favorite one you've done so far. Well done! ❤️
Well done. Your voicing of the creature was excellent. The creature's piss fetish worked well for the story. Unsettling.
The outro always gets me, good job man, seriously. I've been listening for quite a long time and all of the ones of heard were amazing.
Sooo...if you pay for RUclips, do you get the "Un-hear" button?😁
Som, your work and attention to detail is phenomenal man, and I HATED this story!! Like, all of the things that SHOULD have been left to my imagination were spelled out in uncomfortable detail, while the things I needed to know were almost never even referenced again.
If the monster wanted to drink urine "from the source", I'm glad he had the decency to wait 30 years, so it wouldnt be weird. 😐
I also can't with the protagonist. 😑 "I was a runner, and the monster that ate my leg & ended the only thing I loved to do sneers at me every morning while I sip my coff-NO!!! REVENGE!!! SWORDS!!! C-4!!! MAYBE GUNS!!!😡
Personally, I hate to hear stories of child molestation, and accounts of people being mutilated. This story was a 60/40 mix of BOTH, and I ONLY hit the "like" button because it's you, and for this production it was honestly well deserved!
I should have clicked out from the "XXX" line, but I thought, 'nah, that'd be weird and disturbing', but nope. That's where we went.☺🤢🙃
You should give soundtrack credits, for those of us obsessed with your music! If you ever release that ending track, PLEASE let me know; its been the ONLY reason any of us would ever look forward to the END of your narrations!
EXCELLENT work as always, but GAWD, I never want to hear this again!☺
Thank you so much:D
Honestly, this was easily the most brutally honest and critical, yet highly respectable piece of criticism I've come across on RUclips. Or possibly anywhere. You were very concise and made your point very clearly, and well. And not once did it feel like it was an attack or put down towards Dark Somnium. (I know you had no intention of insulting him personally or meaning to make him feel bad, and you did an amazing job in getting that across!) More times than not, people tend to mix insults and personal attacks with their complaints of a story or narration, and it ends up more as an insult and not mich of a constructive criticism.
Sorry for the long winded reply, i just wanted to express my gratitude, appreciation, along with my respect. Thanks for adding your constructive criticism, as I had a very similar reaction toward the story, also.
On a side note, you have an amazing command of words and express your thoughts and ideas very eloquently. Do you write stories or anything else? You've a knack for it.
Kari
I, too, actually enjoyed reading the honest critique of one whose intelligence superseded juvenile & immature attacks, as what so often happens in the commentary (or worse, a “yeeeet”!) One must realise the art captured in these types of written tales. They certainly are not easy to write, nor easy to narrate... it’s a formidable task for both Author & Narrator.
I truly believe your powerful message is very flattering & honest. Your actual comprehension & command of the King’s English was truly refreshing and, oh! Not irritating whatsoever. Bravo, luv.
I hope to hear of Dark Somnium narrating a Dirge-Kari written collaboration...sooner rather than later.
Take care, stay safe, and be vigilant!

"My bladder let out everything" Right when Piss came out the timing couldn't have been worse
When he start running from that thing? I was damn near tryna run with him i was that tense 😥 as always you never disappoint, brilliant.
The moment the creature said alex, goose bumps everywhere.
I love the voicing you did for this video for the monster.. everytime I hear it I get soooo creeped out. Very well done!!
Thank you so much!

First of all...the Story!! An amazing job at tickling that old fear that we remember, from when we were children. Very well written. A really great story.
Now you!! Man...the way your read that one, reminds me of the one that brought me to your channel. Something walks whistling past my house, at 3am. (May have gotten the title wrong? But you know the one of which I speak) not sure you read all of these, but I REALLY want you to know how much I appreciate the depth of what you do. Your music is spot on! I believe I've been through your entire lexicon, and after familiarizing myself with your cadence, I can anticipate the moment that the music will expand to meet the moment. You really are a talent, brother...and now you've brought along that adorable Rom! Thank you for what you do. I'd much rather listen to the two of you, as any other entertainment! You really do excell!!
Amazing narration as always! Man, all those sound affects help add to the story! Im so glad they were put in
For some reason, the thing that made my skin crawl and breath hitch in fear was the sound of the teeth clanking together. I don't know why or how but the moment I heard that noise I felt a primal fear run through me and my brain almost screamed 'run'. I really liked this detail and the fact that you actually put the sound itself in made it ten times better uwu
I’m a simple man, I see a Notification from Dark somnium-I click
You know a story's good when the narrator is named after you
Oh my God it's been a long time since I've shuddered out of horror from a narration and this one got me. I'm so glad I listened to this in the morning and not at night
It was scary until the animal asked “you gonna piss? Maybe shit and piss a little bit??? Huh???” 😭😭😭😭
I don’t understand this title. I’m stumped.
lol
So is the protagonist
Damn dude.
The writer of this story was extremely clever, to use the the word stump in reference to the tree stump and the stump of his leg. Makes you really think if the title meant the tree or his leg for the true purpose of the title. Another great story Somnium
Regular person: STRANGER DANGER!
Rule 34 Artist : write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!
definitely your most underrated narration of all time.
I haven’t heard this story in YEARS, I’ve been looking for it for awhile now and I’m really glad to know you narrated it!
Looking forward to listening to your spin on this classic. This is one of the most disturbing stories I've heard over the years.
Hope you liked it!
Alright. I'm not going in the woods without a fully loaded 12- gage shotgun.
....Yeeahhh I've thought about it and I'm definitely gonna pass on tree related erotica? It was freaky enough hearing about a stump dwelling pervosaurus hecks as is! let alone it being ANOTHER unsettling character you played so well....I feel some kinda way about this...its a heebiejeebie some kinda way
One interpretation could be that the creature is "fear" manifested. **Spoiler space**
It appeared after he found the strange house and was scared, that "spawned" it. In that the house really didn't have anything to do with the creature, it was just the strangeness of it that triggered him.
Then when he first encountered it it seemed small enough to perch on the stump, when he runs away it's so big it knocks over trees, along the trail it got so big it still crashes into trees while running along it, then in the end so huge it can pick him up and has to lift him to eye level. When he does manage to get away the creature seemed surprised, it apparently thought he was frightened enough to just give up but he had that one last fight left in him. It can't get him in the house because that's his "safe space", fear like it can't enter.
That would also fit with it being the thing under his bed, it was always something fed by fear that followed him.
Your voice performance for the animal is perfect
I think what the story is about is Alex's trauma, I think he had trauma because he was sexually molested as a child by his mother maybe? the monster probably represented her and how he saw her as a monster. or maybe the monster was built from his thinking and that's how it became real. maybe I'm looking to deep into it but that's the kinda creepy sexual vibes I got, like one from a rapist??
That was FANTASTIC! You always create the most VIVID and enveloping atmosphere. Keep rocking it bro

Your voice is probably my favorite part of these stories. Its smooth, soothing yet full of emotion and horror when it needs to be. You and NaturesTemper are my absolute favorite nararrators
Thank you alec!
Genuinely had me shuddering and shaking, the sound effects are unlike anything I’ve ever heard. It was packed with symbolism and signs. Poor Alex…
"Are you going to cry? Piss the bed? Is little Alex going to peepee?"
Of course, I was running when this started up from my playlist. Great for getting the adrenaline pumping!
I pretty new to this stuff I’ve been watching for about a year now and safe to say I’m not getting any sleep tonight thanks. amazing content by the way most stories help me sleep MOST.
This was insanely good, it's hard to find stories anymore that really shake you like this one did. I hope the author writes more!
The best part of your narrations is the sound effects. how you did the forest floor of Alex running, the teeth clattering and the finger tapping makes it so real.
"I would suck that bed dry after a good soiling" I feel like I need to take a shower after that
;P
The sound of the footsteps in the background at 4:50 sound like when you break leaves in minecraft
