    Now THAT is an opening line...
    I especially like the detail that the alternate timeline has a turkey instead of an eagle. I remember hearing in school that Benjamin Franklin had argued for the turkey to be the national bird but he was outvoted. The dueling narratives really sell this story.

      But actually he had a good case for arguing for the turkey. Turkies are native to North America, whereas bald eagles are originally from Europe. It's surprising to me that they went with the *European* bird instead after having gained independence from England...

    This is a really good take on the whole 'doppelganger' or 'evil twin' concept, where it's more about the place than the double themselves. The different perspectives help sell the other Scott as a person rather than a vague malevolent entity, which makes it a lot more interesting for this type of story.

    • @kamonwarner7451
      @kamonwarner7451 11 месяцев назад

      absolutely not, they are all just accepting of murdering children for "the door". original Scott even said something about (if you want to come back and what it would entail). they all have to live with that guilt now. i cannot see any of them as a person. i disagree respectfully.

      yeah I get really tired of how morally black and white so much of fiction is recently I feel like, it seems much worse than when I was a kid. Everyone wants a simplistic "good vs. evil" narrative where they can identify with the "good guy" to feel justified in all their prejudices about the world. I don't know if it's more a symptom of how polarized everything is nowadays, or if it's actually *contributing* to that mentality itself, maybe a little of both?

    • @blankuser3158

Roms voice in this one sounds more like her old self than others lately! Including TJ even for a second was a nice touch, too! Thank you, so much, for what you do!

    That story was very interesting. I loved the vibe with the music, as always. Narration was impeccable and the feelings of uncanny within the other world were there.
    The duality of those realities, but also the oddities over there.
    I'd love a story focused upon the bizarre stuff of this alternate and broken reality.

      Yeah, she's a horrifyingly realistic depiction of an actual woman.
      She knows (or at least thinks she does) what to do, but is so scared of being wrong (or even right in this case) that she manipulates a man (with lies about being assaulted. No surprise there) into doing the dirty work for her, so she doesn't have to feel responsible (even though it was her idea).
      And then she loses respect for him and dumps him. Classic.
      Jack Nicholson's character in "As Good as it Gets" is proven right AGAIN.

    This story was absolutely insanely good. One I'll think about for days and will likely will always be on the back of my mind.

    This story was probably one of the most emotionally impactful pasta's I've ever heard, holy shit. Your take on it was amazing as always of course! I work as a professional dog bather and work with all kinds of dogs, so it honestly really surprised me that the dog sound effect you used was actually one that belonged to a pug or pug-type dog specifically, I feel like a lot of creators wouldn't have gone to that extra length for the immersion and it's astounding that you do!
    What I can't stop wondering though is like.. what happened after Not-Scott came back through the door? I know you aren't the author or anything but w9ehusdfiejtgdf I can't get that out of my head. I really wonder if there are any theories out there on that?

The twisting character progression was done really well, from Not Scott being friendly then evil by trapping Scott and Christine in the other world and then finding compassion and reason through his experience with his new dog, Christine and Scott going from nice people to terrified and willing to deceive and end an innocent life to get home, to the door reopening at the end having us almost rooting for it to be Not Scott but never knowing, just really awesome story overall :)

    I have to say it genuinely adds SO MUCH to the narrative that he explained why the other accounts were included in his story. No stories really do that if they switch perspective, but it helped to not break immersion here.

    When I saw the author- I knew we were in for a treat!😊 thanks Som, these past few hour plus narrations I’m REALLY enjoying them!! I feel like there’s time to tell the story! In this, I loved the variation of the history..Robert Kennedy nickel,etc.. I honestly thought that Christine went crazy. When she started lying to real scott, and the way he describes her. Then it’s almost like other scott gains his senses back,is remorseful,etc.. while Christine didn’t try to help fight those ppl off real scott, the other scott did, and going back to kill those ppl to make sure they can’t make the door was admirable. And real Scott’s offer to come back- she would have left real scott anyways!! but she failed to take any blame on herself,while she was with other scott, she was blabbing about everything she could, but mad at real scott and all of this being his fault because he spoke of her..🤔also it made me sad to know that the little girl didn’t seem to care if they did kill her..and that speaks volumes on this other world! Thanks for another banger in the books!!
