So, I'm writing a story that's written partially from first-person POV, partially through dreams and memories, and partially through newspaper articles and tape recordings. It isn't really serious, just something I'm dicking around with for r/nosleep to stay sharp. I was on the LBTH website to find an example article of a missing persons' report, and out of morbid curiosity, clicked on the section that had unidentified corpses.
I wish I hadn't.
I can't describe the way I felt looking at those pictures, the flood to my stomach. Most of the faces had been reconstructed into smiles, and just...there was nothing normal or happy about them. It was absolutely grotesque, and disturbed me so greatly that I had to close the window after thirty seconds. That's the longest I looked for, but those images are literally burned into my mind.
