"A Change In Death" | Creepypasta | Scary Story 

And say something like you don't die until we say so!

Less stellar being the damned guinea pig (author)

... I should've thought of that. (author)

hah yep coming up soon!

@@LighthouseHorror Had I known there were more I would have been losing my mind waiting for them.

I didn't know there was a 2 and 3 OMG I loved that story !!! Please let me know how, where to get 1 and 2 and please continue absolutely love ❤️ that story!!

There are parts 2 and 3!? I'm so excitedd

AWESOME!!!!

I appreciate that (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen you are very welcome. I really enjoyed the humor of it but it was the dark truth of the proposition that made me keep thinking it over. I look forward to hearing anything else you have submitted. Thanks for the laughs. Anything that gets me laughing out loud is very welcome in my world. Cheers. Lee

Thanks Myers!!

Happy birthday!

@@LighthouseHorror Thank you ! 💐❤

Happy birthday 🥳🥳🥳🥳😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍

Happy Birthday!!

@@anniereddj Thank you ❤💐

yeaaahhhhhh......we need you to come in early on Saturday.....we lost some reapers this week.....oh oh we also need yo to come in on Sunday too.....thank's a bunch death hey, what's happening? you know what would be great? if you could file your last suicide death report and remember we need the new cover sheet attached too thanks a bunch death!!! well can one blame me for picturing Lumburgh as Death's boss?? LMAO gods i love Office Space

*S o*

It was less impressive while living it. (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen Thanks for that. The whole point of the story seemed to be Death offering a new set of rules to let a suicide find his way out - you are allowed to cry, reach out and talk to friends, let everyone know what you're about to do. Here's the chance to walk away from the edge. Your note here kind of confirms that thought. Glad you made it to the other side. Though sorry you got that close.

Thank you! (author)

hopefully the brick only did minor damage to your head i mean we wouldn;t wanna think you go pfffff [does a funky seal clap that just produces a flopping sound] eh.....nobody's gonna get that reference.....nobody lolz

What if that was Death's plan all along? (author)

What happens if you do that and then you actually live? Be a bummer wouldn't it haha

@@davidh7177 Eh. I would plead insanity. "The grim reaper came up to me at work and told me I was gonna die in 24 hours. It was so weird too, I looked around and reality was all twisted and I couldn't hear anyone except Death complaining about upper management." Pretty sure I'd get put in a hospital, not prison. It helps that I'm already disabled and female.

That's a good one, too. (author)

"Honey, I'm ..." "Daddy, He's..." "We just need you to come down..." "There's a letter from the IRS..." :-P

Notice me sempai

Okay. 😉

Well, I always get the latter ones...the type of dreams I mean. I can confirm, not funny.

@@janedoex1398 Awww...sorry, sugar! I usually get those too, but with intense stories like these (as opposed to the true Reddit stories of many narrators' focus), I find that elements will work into my dreams & divert my attention from the anxious-making stuff. Leads to absolutely B-I-Z-A-R-R-E (yes, it needs the hyphens, for the sake of emphasis) dreams! I mean, Sigmund Froyd wouldn't be able to explain that stuff, & he had opinions about everything! Have you tried making a playlist of spooky stories & listening while you sleep? Put on headphones/earbuds & let it play all night long. Alot of the people who subscribe to narration channels do this. It doesn't always change your dreams, but it's an absolute life-saver when it comes to those toss & turn, waking every 5 minutes, mental tension nights. Instead of waking up & having your brain launch into anxiety mode about whatever's stressing you out, you can immediately get into whatever story's playing & stop the cycle. I've been doing this for years now & usually get enough sleep - without sleep aids. I used to average 2-4 hours of sleep per night & took a nightly cocktail of Ambien, Doxepin (Sinequan), melatonin, valerian & OTC sleep aids (Benadryl & Unisom/Doxalymine Succinate). Yeah...I was poisoning myself just to buy an hour or two of sleep. Now? A little liquid valerian (sometimes) & a spooky playlist & I'm good to go! The stories help me focus during household tasks, too. These are great for the ADD/OCD brain!

As this was my nightmare, I can guarantee they're not great to experience. (author)

@@robzembes Ello.

Yup! First thing I do!

My people ! 🙂

Sort of, yes. This is the reply I wrote to someone else: Death, as middle management, was instructed to enforce a new policy in which people would know about their deaths and tell them they cannot escape it. The ending is left (I assume, even though I wrote the damn thing) as nebulous, as either: 1. The outcome was supposed to change, as the protagonist wasn't supposed to accept their fate and try to change it. 2. The protagonist was supposed to spend their last day enjoying life, rather than throwing it away. 3. The protagonist was always going to kill themself, and this was supposed to be a catalyst of change that didn't work. Honestly, I don't know what the right ending is. I have nightmares like these all the time and then pen them out later. I don't know what the message was, but I hope it was a catalyst for good for someone. (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen thank you so much for the clarification man 👍👍👍 I now understand your reason why it ended the way it is. 👏👏👏👏

@@navigatorofnone No worries! Glad I could help.

Thank you! I really appreciate that! (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen No problem, I hope you have more stories like this! Brilliantly written 👏🏻👏🏻

@@claredyj2015 I actually have plenty. I don't post many of them on Reddit, but I've got them scattered around on my discord if you're interested: discord.gg/kYgVd9sUzk

@@ChefShwastykitchen Brilliant, I’ll go and have a look, thank you 🙏🏼

Yeah I don’t get it either. Is he talking to management or the narrator?

I'm thinking maybe people knowing ahead of time about their death was supposed to set them on a different path to maybe avoid an early death? That sounds like upper management death type thinking. Lol

@@ChefShwastykitchen Ok great, that explains alot. I get it now. Death getting upset threw me for a loop for a minute, wasn't really sure what he was mad about. It got in the car all cool with it, then gets mad when buddy passes away, I just got lost in the interpretation. Still kinda confused on a couple things, but overall I think I understand. Good Story, keep 'em coming 👍

@@ExcessInModeration Will do. I've got a decent back log on my discord if you're bored. discord.gg/kYgVd9sUzk

It certainly felt that way. (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen I believe I know how and where I will be murdered. Just don't know exactly when. I can never see the guys face. I've been having the same dream for years, just recently did I find the street corner from my dreams. Is the dream a warning so I can prevent it? Or is it a "gift" by allowing me to say my goodbyes and getting my affairs in order?

@@s3audi2009 I'd draw up a nice will if I were you.

@@ChefShwastykitchen that has been done, came with my job.

Just the singular you're introduced to, but working for a larger company. (author)

nice writing :)

Thank you, my friend. (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen you are VERY WELCOME, You are a talented writer. I'm 70 years old and have lived horror since all we had was a black and white TV. Lol. Have a GREAT, weekend. Greg

@@gregchaney2004 If you'd like more, I have plenty of these. I've got pretty vivid dreams that usually result in this kind of thing. Email me if you'd like some: ChefShwasty@gmail.com

@@ChefShwastykitchen I don't know much about email or my phone. I'm 70 and not too computer literate. Lol. When my daughter comes to visit on labor day ill get her to show me again. You are very talented and I enjoyed your story. Thanks. Greg

You're too kind. (author)

Thank you! (author)

That's kinda what I thought as well. (author)

Here's what I had written earlier when people asked about the ending: Death, as middle management, was instructed to enforce a new policy in which people would know about their deaths and tell them they cannot escape it. The ending is left (I assume, even though I wrote the damn thing) as nebulous, as either: 1. The outcome was supposed to change, as the protagonist wasn't supposed to accept their fate and try to change it. 2. The protagonist was supposed to spend their last day enjoying life, rather than throwing it away. 3.

Hello.

Length isn't everything. (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen Speak for yourself sir! Haha it wasn't a proper criticism, I'm just being one of those "we need more!" Idiots haha good story though I enjoyed it(thats more my point I guess!)

lol

I didn’t really understand

The look of disappointment wasn't for the main character, it was for the new system. Our boy was already going to go way earlier than anyone would consider reasonable, but then he's told it's going to happen, and spends the rest of the time he had consumed by the notion.

Sometimes, that's the point. (author)

@@ChefShwastykitchen Your story, so you do you. Loved it up till the end.

@@butterzzz13 It's been busy at work today, but I did type out my feelings on the ending: Death, as middle management, was instructed to enforce a new policy in which people would know about their deaths and tell them they cannot escape it.

He killed himself and death was mad at his bosses cuz he said why do we have to change how it's done, it won't change anything at all

@@jamiesmith5728 That's how I interpreted it. The whole point of the change was to give people time to accept their fate, and the narrator, rather than accepting it and coming to peace with his death, decided to rage in the only way left to him by dying early. And Death in the story was upset with his bosses because he knew that giving people forewarning wasn't going to do a damn thing to help them be at peace before they go.

@@ChefShwastykitchen I was thinking number 2. I considered 1 and 3 but they just seemed overly complicated or cruel jokes. But if the answer is 2, then who is death directing his last words to? His superiors who made the change or the MC? And if it is towards the MC, it kinda gives off the vibe that it was a cruel joke? Idk maybe it’s just me. Have you tried looking up the meaning to those dreams? I used to have a reoccurring nightmare about a shark the could travel on land and said shark would chase me. I looked it up and found out sharks symbolize greed. At the time I was working for a particularly greedy manager who used to understaff us to save money, causing a lot of stress. Needless to say after I quit I didn’t have the dreams anymore.

I do post daily hah! 🙂
