Snuff Stories
3 years ago
General
I've got some good news and bad news. The good news is I've emerged from my writing hiatus of almost a year and written over 5k words in 2 days across three new stories. The bad news is they are all snuff stories. You can read them at the links below:
1. Nantaimori
2. Battery Disposal
3. A Breathtaking Show
Pain for me has always been a source of escapism for me. Through periods of depression in the past, I'd fantasise about being tormented in horrible ways as a way to externalise the internal pain. It was my coping mechanism. Life has gotten better since then, and I'm thankful for that. But from time to time when the dark thoughts come back, I'd return to these thoughts. Scenarios where I'm brutally tortured, maimed, and killed have been a source of comfort. I'm not sure how to describe the satisfaction I get from it. It's not sexual in nature, but it comes with a similar gratification.
I've not been in a good place over the past few weeks, and maybe that's why I wrote these stories. Do I understand why I write them? No. But it's my way of externalising the inner turmoil I cannot put into words. And I'm happy I can channel these emotions into something people enjoy.

I think readers naturally gets concerned for a writer’s wellbeing when they post something particularly horrifying, so I appreciate the journal. I should really make an “I’m ok!” journal myself sometime haha.
As long as you’re getting on alright, I think it’s healthy to face these things head-on. I don’t even think snuff is particularly weird. Personally I just see it as yet another loss-of-control fantasy like bondage, transformation, mind control, etc.
I'm glad you've got back into the writing groove! It's pretty easy to just mentally get drained on something that seemed to come so easily in the past... It's all the better you found your drive again!
Art is a good way to just throw your emotions out. I've struggled with problems myself, and have woven a few of my own concerns into my stories. It's a way to reflect on what you truly feel. Even if it's in a roundabout way.
That said, these stories aren't for me, but I'm certain others will appreciate them!
And ayy, good to know you've been writing to vent!
