Gore threads are... Messed up, right?
You'll be scrolling through an image board and "bam".
Some picture of a dead body, with its guts hanging out catches your eye.
It's like a car crash...
You just... Have to look.
Most of the time; it's the same recycled pictures and you rarely see something new.
I almost regret ever wanting to see new stuff.
Actually...
I regret ever getting interested in those threads.
It was late afternoon and I was scrolling through "/b/"
Same old threads page after page.
When I got to page six.
A gore thread caught my eye.
I'd seen most of the pictures before.
But then, someone with a trip-code "Zthos"
Posted a really messed up image of a man with
Both his eyes ripped out.
Half his nose gone and his head bashed in.
Two other name fags started begging the guy to post more
He posted about fifteen more images, the next one being gorier than the last
I replied to the last picture he posted, asking what site they were from
He replied with another image
I looked for a time stamp or a watermark
But there was none
Six or seven anonymous posters asked for more
He replied with more pictures
The same two fags were asking for more
And for the first time, getting curious too
Asking if he had done it himself
He replied to the first guy
I think his name was "Shane the player" or something
With another image of a man face down on a desk with his skull bashed in
Shane the player didn't post in the thread again
Didn't beg for more
At first I thought he was offline
Then
I looked closer at the picture
There was a laptop beside the man
On the screen was the same gore thread
I looked at all the other images to see if those were posted
The people were then lying dead either on their desk, bed or couch
With their computer or laptop beside them showing the thread
I pointed this out, it got a good few replies
I was freaked out now
What if I was next?
Some, anonymous poster asked that we should notify the police because things just got real
He replied this time with a woman with her lips ripped off and her teeth smashed
Next to her, was an android, with a thread on it
Everyone started making guesses on
who the dead people were
Then someone said
What i had dreaded
these were the people
who had begged for more
But this cant have been one person
These were wide
Part of me wanted to see how this ended
Another part of me
Wanted to beg for more pictures myself
But a big part of me, wanted to leave
I knew staying in that thread was trouble
So...
Why did I stay?
I didn't stay that long
Just long enough to see some underage kid, get his head
Half cut off his neck for suggesting that the thread be archived
I left after that
I didn't sleep that night, in fear that
I'd be Zthos' next victim
I went to check if the thread was there the next day
It had probably 404'd because i couldn't find it
I don't participate in gore threads anymore
Zthos, doesn't seem to either
But i can't take the risk
I don't want to be the next picture that has people
Begging for more
