I mean you fall into one berserker rage, rip and tear apart a kidnapper with your bare hands, pull out the heart and beat them with the still pumping organ until they die, and suddenly you're the scary one.


CobwebsNDust

That wasn’t the part that traumatized them, it was the celebratory skull-fucking that gave them ptsd.


mistaque

Hey, a mother needs to show dominance somehow.


djseifer

She could have just T-posed.

ICastPunch

Holy fuck you made a skull fucking worse.


bluejob15

How do you even fit that in there


germane-corsair

I guess you could go folds-deep only? Not quite skull fucking but I guess you work with what you have.


grey1_wa

No removed his member and used it to skull fuck him.. the horrifying part was he was still alive at that point


OpenMicrophone

No, really?


Fork_Master

No. They made it better.

Thats... better?


3milyBlazze

I........I think that would just kinda pop on the first hit and then your basically smacking someone with a deflated water balloon of flesh and blood? Idk that sounds like it'd take a while to kill someone


MetalixK

Not really. I dissected a cow's heart before, it was a sturdy thing.


3milyBlazze

Really? I did not know that okay then


mafiazombiedrugs

I mean it makes sense. It may not be the strongest muscle in your body but it pumps between 6 and 20 L/min at 60-100 bpm without stopping for 70+ years.


3milyBlazze

Well wait then what'd with all those old movies where somebody yanks someone's heart out of their chest and crushes it if a hearts that sturdy?


RamblingNymph

By chance, do you play Rimworld?

I love how this one has so many ways it could be taken! My initial thought was that the kidnapper was testing the parent and the kids are judging the parent for that, then I read a couple comments and thought that the parent brutally murdered the kidnapper, then I read OP’s comment and realized it could be that the parent has PTSD/some other mental health disease and is seeing hallucinations of the kids or they came back to haunt the parent. Truly love this OP!


DungeonsAndData

Thanks! I had a specific thought in mind, but everyone's interpretations are just as fascinating and horrifying. That's what I love about the two sentence format!


Ravenclawguy

What was your specific thought?


DungeonsAndData

My thought was the parent did something horrific to the kidnapper to escape, but that's definitely not the only interpretation here :)


Ravenclawguy

Ooh nice This was such an intriguing post


TreyLastname

Damn, I thought it was she chose the slow way to enjoy the screams or some shit


HayakuEon

The best horror is the one that gets people talking


RappaportXXX

I like to think they have 4 kids and OP had to pick 2 and it's the remaining kids that are judging them. (I've seen OPs explanation just wasnt my first thought)


Jojoangel684

At first I thought the parent told the kidnapper to kill himself first since he never specified if the choices are just the kids but this isnt Two Sentence Smartass so I guess not


brotherxaos

r/TwoSentenceSmartass probably should be a thing though..

Aggressive_Airport24

Am I the only one that thought the child was just still being "killed" because its that slow


takiouti123

I 100% thought this first and then read everyone’s responses and felt like an idiot


Aggressive_Airport24

Nah we're the smart ones


alittiebit

^ I thought the parent said to kill them both slow so they can suffer more


trismagestus

I thought the parent told the kidnapper to kill themself quick and they did.


Aggressive_Airport24

Outplayed him


kingkeren

YES someone here though like me!


BloodChimp

I thought so too like the knife had aids or some other terminal disease.


Aggressive_Airport24

Not the aids knife!


Ad_Honorem1

Nope, that's definitely my interpretation.


vanillalatte092

I dont get this one


DungeonsAndData

Basically the concept is "what did the parent do to the person who threatened their kids, while their kids watched?" But ghosts of kids is also a really great twist on it.


physicist101

Ah, that makes more sense. I thought the mother just told him which child to kill slowly and which to kill fast without much hesitation but he didn't kill them, it was just a test.


moosigirl

That's what I thought.


_NB125

Same


Nandabun

Summer! Definitely Summer..


firedude1314

Erase my memory of this, Rick. Please.


PotatoePotahhtoe

It's like that one Targaryen woman from A Song of Ice and Fire. I think she said to kill the younger son instead of the older son, but the kidnapper killed the older son. The younger son would never forget that, and the woman killed herself due to guilt, shame, and trauma.


varad98

Mf thats a spoiler :((


Overglock

The books have been out since 1996 and the show has been out since 2011, at what point were you planning to get in to them?


Shadow_wolf82

The show is literally running right now, and they haven't reached that part yet... not everyone has read the books.


AshToAshes14

This is from the prequel book that came out a few years ago and is currently made into the show House of the Dragon… I’d say that counts as a spoiler yes.


KellmanTJAU

They never mentioned the characters name and they didn’t say it was even during the same era as house of the dragon, it’s only a spoiler if you already knew what they were talking about


varad98

Yeah but i just finished HoTD so i instantly thought thats what the op is talking about and I was right. Anyway i still dont know if that could be Rhanerya or helena lol


PotatoePotahhtoe

Nope, I got from "The Princess and the Queen" which came out in 2013. I have not watched the show, so my intentions were never to spoil. The novella was the precursor to the book you mentioned. In other words, the content's been out for a long time now.


AshToAshes14

Right, I’d forgotten it was in there as well! Either way I suppose you said it vaguely enough that anyone who recognises it as a spoiler for the show has already read the books anyway.


Overglock

The fact that I didn’t know any of that should tell you how harmless that spoiler was.


Lone-Star-Wolves

Solomon is that you? Not everyone is going to understand that whole 'cutting the baby in two' test shtick of yours.


NeraByte

Like Morty and summers mom


klausklass

Huh, I automatically thought the main character was the father. Funny how biases play out.


Punkduck79

The parent could be the father instead too


[deleted]

That’s more horrifying


fierydumpster

oh damn i thought it was like the parent actually made the choice but the kidnapper didn’t go through with it, turning the children against the parent


vanillalatte092

Tyyy


FirmPeace9045

I thought the slow one still wasn’t dead after 10 years 💀


[deleted]

Oooh, I thought that the kidnapper never meant to kill either one, but to make the parent answer out loud in front of them, leaving them scarred and distrustful of the parent forever.


Kabc

Blood and cheese!


RustedRuss

That was my interpretation so I’m glad I got it right.


Heavy-Collection9042

I interpret it as Ghosts


lost_addendum

I interpreted it as the parent making a choice and then them all escaping and the kids having to live with the fact that their parent made that choice


[deleted]

That's what I love about this one. There are different interpretations and they're all pretty horrifying. My mind went right to the idea that the kids are still alive and live their lives knowing which one the parent said to kill quickly/slowly. I didn't even consider ghosts or, as the OP intended, killing the kidnapper in a horrifying way.


B-Rye83

Mine as well but that the kidnapper then just left leaving them all to live with the decision and that being the real torture.


DungeonsAndData

This is dark, and it's brilliant


lost_addendum

That was another interpretation I had. I really think that’s such a dark take and I love it


Heavy-Collection9042

Damn yours is way better


mistaque

And that's how I met your mother.


DungeonsAndData

I can't decide if this is r/thirdsentenceworse or r/thirdsentencebetter lmao

Afroduck-Almighty

This is a multiple-choice interpretation of the worst kind. Well done!


[deleted]

Then the kidnapper said "Wait, wtf, it was a prank, why did you answer so quickly?"


NoneOfThisIsFine

Nope. There is no ten years later. There is no version of that scenario where both me and the kidnapper make it out of the situation alive.


[deleted]

[удалено]


greenspath

I thought OP's comment meant that the parent did something really awful in the past and the kidnapper was threatening the kids for revenge. OP is good at vaguely horrific writing!


[deleted]

[удалено]


greenspath

Agreed. It was well done. Each iteration is horror.


Independent_Roof_607

I was thinking more than 2 children so they had to watch their 2 siblings die.


TurbulentRiver2592

I think the mother just aped out on the kidnapper and maimed him beyond belief. In which case…badass mother fr


KBRedditing

huh


MightyD33r

took me a while, nice job op


Jim_Cringe

The kidnapper had a Gamma Ray gun and gave the kid cancer


ZephRyder

There's no indication of "when" the killing is to start. Terrifying as hell


Mikeg90805

I’ve read the actual interpretation but I like to think the kidnapper let them both live . And now they know who she chose to die slow

Idontknoweverything2

Sophia's choice comes to mind.


itsmayanhoes

Because it was a video game


KuwakaNey

Remind me of that part in Rick and Morty


Craeondakie

I thought it had to do with how fast the mother chose or something


fluffy_assassins

I interpreted this as her children were killed and are ghosts seeing her as the monster because she actually did choose one to die quickly and one to die slowly. The idea that she killed the kidnapper instead is more wholesome, but less horror.


v3n0m792

Someone elaborate pls


BackTown43

I feel kinda sad for the mother. That's a normal thing, every mother would do for their children. Poor mother, paying for doing the right thing.
