Blood gushes from the cut and drips onto the ground an awful lot.

An awful lot drips onto the ground. From the cut drips blood and gushes.

Breathing hard I see the end. - I need to calm myself and prepare for what's next. - I spot the knife leaving the wound.

Forward the murderer is coming down from the rush of killing and thinking about destroying evidence. Backwards the victim sees what happened

Redditors really aren't very good at writing but it seems like Redditors think that Redditors are great writers

Agreed

I'd say the only part that makes less sense backwards is the two lines with blood gushing and knife stabbing, but they could still be read

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

as simultaneous, or alternatively as multiple stabbings.

Luna is a huge part of that sub. Her stories are pretty great. I find it hard to believe she's an amateur writer.

Her stuff on nosleep is absolutely amazing too

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

She got banned from that sub, I believe it was for pointing out how authors used cliffhangers to advertise ebooks

She was only banned for two months. She's not banned anymore.

One of the coolest music videos I've seen has basically this idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN9auBn6Jys

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Wait shit, there’s another music video like this but it’s someone else (although +1 for Cibo Matto!)

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No wait it must be that because Michel Gondry directed it and I just didn’t know who Cibo Matto was at the time.

Wait what was that movie fucking forever ago, something with bombs & politics, it was supposed to be 8 minute story from many perspectives?

Came out a while ago, memento. (Kidding)

I was gonna say, with Christopher nolan as director. Then I saw your comment, seems like we had a similar line of thought.

I'm part of a community that has a few poems that read the exact same forwards and backwards (words, not letters, that's overboard). So fun.

Screaming, I sacrifice for Sam -- my brother -- my life from youth, He takes that spear, this weapon with eager hands, 1/2

I need him, he needs me Hands eager with weapon, this spear that takes his youth from life, My brother, my Sam, for sacrifice, I scream 2/2

8 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 3

But it's not the same...? Screaming/scream, me/I, him/he... And it is in prose..?

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Root words remain the same. It's derived from a fake form of poem from a book I read. And it's meant to be in a more visual language/script

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

And it doesn't really make any sense

Read through it, now. Am I missing something, or is it not finished? It was a fantastic read, but I want to know how it ends.
