One common theme is the power of nature. In many natural horror stories, nature is presented as an uncontrollable and often malevolent force. For example, in 'Jaws', the ocean is a vast and dangerous place where the shark can strike at any time. Another theme is isolation. When characters are in a natural setting far from civilization, like in 'The Ruins', they are more vulnerable. And the theme of the unknown is also prevalent. The strange and unexplained things that occur in nature, such as in 'Annihilation', create fear.
One popular natural horror novel is 'Jaws' by Peter Benchley. It's about a great white shark that terrorizes a beach community. Another is 'The Ruins' by Scott Smith, where a group of tourists encounter a deadly and mysterious plant in the Mexican jungle. And 'Annihilation' by Jeff VanderMeer, which features a strange and dangerous area known as Area X, full of mutated and menacing natural elements.
One horror story is when a woman was in labor for over 24 hours. The pain was excruciating and she felt completely exhausted. There were complications with the baby's position that made the pushing stage extremely difficult. In the end, she had to have an emergency C - section after all that struggle.
A common natural childbirth horror story involves unexpected complications. For example, a woman might start bleeding heavily during the delivery. This not only scares the mother but also puts the baby at risk. Another situation could be that the mother's pelvis is not wide enough for the baby to pass through easily. This can lead to a very long and agonizing labor. There are also cases where the umbilical cord gets wrapped around the baby's neck during labor. This can cause distress to the baby and is a very nerve - wracking situation for the mother as well.
One common one is hair dye disasters. People try to dye their natural hair at home and end up with a color that's completely different from what they expected, like orange instead of blonde.
Well, I once went to a so - called 'natural hair expert' for a treatment. They put some kind of chemical - like substance on my hair, saying it would enhance the curl pattern. Instead, it made my hair brittle and some parts even started to straighten out in a really unnatural way. I was horrified. I had to cut off a lot of the damaged hair and start all over with my hair care routine. It was a costly and time - consuming mistake.
A good one for beginners is 'Jaws'. It's a classic that many people are familiar with, at least in terms of the movie. The story of the shark attacking people is straightforward and easy to follow. The fear of the unknown in the ocean and the power of the shark make it a great entry into natural horror.
One horror story is when a stylist cut way too much hair off. A girl asked for just a trim of her natural curls but ended up with hair that was several inches shorter. It completely changed her look in a bad way.
One horror story could be constantly dealing with frizz. No matter what products you use, your natural hair just frizzes up like crazy, especially in humid weather. It can make you look unkempt and feel self - conscious.
