This is my first creepypasta story that I'm publishing on Wattpad. This story is titled Mother Knows Best. Horror, along with fantasy and action, is among my favorites genres because I enjoy watching movies that will make your adrenaline rush like a meteor destroying the Earth. Creepypastas are one of my favorite forms of horror because they focus on atmosphere, rather than gore and cheap jump scares; although that's not always the case. Famous horror stories such as Jeff the Killer, Ben Drowned, and The Russian Sleep Experiment have been an influential part of the creepypasta community because they transcend on what horror stories are and how interesting they can be.

Mother Knows Best is a very short creepypasta story that is loosely based on the extremely short story A Mother's Call. It deals with a young girl whose mother bakes "special" cookies to the point where she believe that something is particularly off. What was her mother's intentions for baking the cookies? What were the cookies made out of?

At the end of the story, I would love some feedback from you guys to see if my story needs some improvement.

Anyway, here's Mother Knows Best.

In Winston Salem, a mother and her teenage daughter live in an apartment complex on 401 Park Ridge Ln. It is called Briarleigh Park. The apartment was colored gray and the environment is beautiful. It was basically just the right size for two people because the mother stated that she hated living in a house that is unkempt. The apartment itself was nicely built; it was surrounded by trees, has beautiful plants and flowers, and a patio for any family to relax in.

A teenage girl was in her Mom's bedroom watching TV when she heard her mother called to her from the kitchen.

"Abigail, can you come downstairs please?" her mother called.

As Abigail was running downstairs to the kitchen, her mother says that she baked cookies. Abigail, at first, was hesitant to take the cookies asking "These aren't burnt, right,?" The mother, looking awkward and confused, replied "No. This time, I cooked them for about 8-12 minutes. Go on, try some." Abigail takes the cookies from the tray and eats them. After eating the first batch, she said that they taste good.

The mother was delighted and told her daughter that she's going to make a second batch of cookies. The daughter run back upstairs to watch some more cartoons. As she was watching TV, she noticed blood dripping from her mouth. She ran into the bathroom to grab some toilet paper to wipe the blood from her mouth. However, when she was wiping her mouth, more blood begin to drip causing her to scream hysterically.

"MOM!!!, MOMMY!!!" Abigail screamed as she was running downstairs to her mother, who was cooking a second batch of cookies in the oven. Her mother, while grinning eerily, turns her head all the way around and asked her daughter "What's the matter, Abigail?" Abigail opens her mouth to reveal to her mother that copious amounts of blood were dripping. Delighted, the mother suggested that she would give her daughter the second batch of cookies, but Abigail refused to take them. 

Enraged by her daughter's defiancy, her mother, while screaming in a demonic voice, chaotically stuffs her daughter's mouth with cookies. Abigail fights back by shoving her mother off of her and spits the chewed up cookies out of her mouth, leading to more blood to drip from her mouth. This time, the gore begin to drip more gruesomely.

The daughter begin to ask in fear, "Mom? What kind of cookies did you bake?"

The mom, while smiling in a evil manner, answers "Oh? These cookies? The cookies weren't store-bought. You noticed the blood dripping from your mouth? The ones you ate where made from your parents bodies."

"WHAT?!" Abigail exclaimed. "YOU KILLED MY PARENTS?! THAT EXPLAINS WHY I FELT BLOOD DRIPPING FROM MY MOUTH?! WHERE'S MY REAL MOTHER?! WHERE DID YOU PUT HERE BODY, ALONG WITH MY FATHER?!"

"Hahahahahaha" laughed the impostor. "Don't worry, your parents are safe underground. When they were sleeping in their bedroom, I summoned myself from the Underworld to murder both of them in cold-blood. Then I asked the Underworld to help me chop your parents up into pieces so that I can make cookies out of their dead bodies."

Horrified, Abigail tried to get her words out, "S-S-So? That's the reason w-w-why I was tasting blood in my cookies?" 

"Yes" the impostor answered as she was transforming into a demonic creature. "The cookies you ate, where your parents. YOU JUST ATE YOUR OWN FAMILY?!" 

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" the demon begins laughing sadistically.

"NO!!!" Abigail exclaimed. "THIS CAN'T BE REAL!! YOU KILLED MY PARENTS AND GROUND THEM UP TO MAKE COOKIES, AND I ATE THEM!!" As she was screaming in distress, she begin to cry hysterically as the demon approaches her.

"Yes" The demon answers. "You ate your own parents and now I'm going to eat you."

"YOU'RE NEXT!!" the demon screamed, revealing her fangs.

When the demon catches the young teen, she kills her brutally. After that, she is shown sitting in her mother's bedroom watching TV, while eating the remains of the dead girl.

"It's not the demon that scares you, it's the anticipation of the demon."

A mother bakes cookies for her daughter, but s"oon realizes that the cookies she ate weren't normal.

Loosely based on the creepypasta short story "A Mother's Call", the story concerns a young teenage girl and her mother living in an apartment in Winston Salem, NC. One day, her mother told her daughter that she baked cookies in the kitchen. When the daughter runs downstairs, she ate her mother's cookies and went back upstairs. When she begins to notice a strange occurrence, her mother forced her to eat more cookies but noticed something unsettling. What kind of cookies did her mother baked?

Mother Knows Best is a supernatural horror story that was inspired by the short creepypasta A Mother's Call. Its story concern the themes of fear and the horror of the anticipation of a malevolent spirit.

I know it's pretty scummy of me to not even try reviewing some content to figure out how to write this blog but I'm dealing with newbies to writing like Nimu here. Even if Nimu DID request this, I'm going to keep this simple and easy to understand.

Why would I do that? Well, I'm pretty sure that even if I bring up tropes like the 'Uncanny Valley', no one will actually understand what I'm talking about and would only nod their heads like chickens because I said some big words or something like that...

That's why I'm choosing to keep this real. Now, let's start off with: How do does horror be 'scary'?

In movies, showing images that either poke at our emotions of unease or disgust is one way to go, or just throw a bunch of jump scares and call it a horror movie... Director's choice. Similarly, you are also the 'director' of any 'horror story' you choose to write.

Most horror writers have the wrong assumption when they think about writing 'horror'. They become trapped in unease themselves because 'fear' stops them from writing. Well, if you really DO feel that way, then just channel that into your horror story.

And no, I'm not playing with ya.

There's a reason horror's start off in a simple premise with easy-to-understand people, after all.

Have you never experienced a horrifying event or nightmare before? Fine, I'll give you an example.

There was a time when I was a kid that I suddenly started looking for my older brother who went out of the room that afternoon. As a kid, darkness made me feel uneasy, so I didn't like the feeling of going into the kitchen in the other room which was pitch-black at the time. And that's when it happened!

The older brother I was looking for jumped out of the darkness and scared the life out of me...

Now, from that short memory. What have we found that made this memory so impressionable?

The answer is that there was a 'sudden set-up' of unease before the jump scare, making it scary.

If my brother had jumped in front of me at any other time, I would only be mildly surprised. However, the transition between 'set-up' and 'payoff' made it more worthwhile. This is what you must remember.

Remember, before setting up a scary scene in a horror story, you yourself must first evaluate how much 'set-up' you are willing to make for the end payoff and if that payoff is even worth it.

The reason I got scared by my brother was because of the 'suddenness' of the event. If I had time to properly analyse the situation and realise that my brother was playing a prank, the effect of him jumping out of the darkness wouldn't surprise me.

Likewise, if there was fast or literally no set-up and the payoff was that an brain-like alien actually existed in my kitchen. I would be scared, I would be struck dumb because my suspension of disbelief would be broken. I wouldn't even know how to internalise that event if it actually happened. The only thing I would do is stare at the thing blankly.

Blankness is not fear, it's just your brain not being able to comprehend what you're seeing.

If there is less set-up to big events, the payoff would be low. This is the same for ten chapters of set-up just to reveal someone doing a prank. You yourself must balance 'set-up' with the intended 'payoff'.

However, that's not to say scary story's need surprising moments where something or someone jumps out from the dark. Even that show called 'Goosebumps' knew the best way to scare someone is to manipulate the emotions of a reader.

When something good is happening but there is subtly a small scene of watching the main character through the window, the reader's heart is gripped tightly. If THEY don't want anything to happen to your relatable and kind character, then they will feel unease even if your character is clueless.

Then when the payoff happens, the reader will be assaulted with a sense of grief and sympathy.

Horror story's are just like that. They aren't meant to scare the reader through flashing images or jump scares but cause them to feel deeply. Though this is also a reason horrors are rarely read by people who are looking for something lighthearted and bright.

You must know this target audience and prepare your story well to become a good horror. If mixed with mystery, then you must also make sure to keep what I said in my 'Mystery Genre Analysis' in mind as everything there is also essential in this blend.

(My other Analysis Blogs are in my Saved Posts.)

There are plenty of ways to make horrors not need mysteries by blending it with tragedy. However, it isn't something you can write with a bright heart free of ill-will towards others. After all, you must understand what makes people 'uneasy and disgusted' with something whenever you write something of this genre. As it is needed to bring out the best experience for those reading your work.

Some think Horror and Tragedy are two sides of the same coin. However, there is a reason these two are split up into separate genres. Tragedies might invoke sympathy in those who read it, but Horror strike the readers with true fears even if they are irrational.

Ghost stories make us fear the Supernatural, Stories about technology progressing beyond humans can control makes us fear Science Fiction, and even story about a mystical world which only curse its inhabitants with grief make us fear Fantasy.

We are rational creatures after all. We take each step carefully and are always uneasy about the unpredictable future, that is our mundane form of horror. We fear, and therefore we feel alive.

Thank you for reading~! Comment any more Analysis Blog requests to your leisure! 😆

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.
