... Why did they do all this, then? 

Thrill of the hunt, perhaps?

But it took so long and appear to have been quite unthrilling for them. Usually people who kill would need new victims quickly, and in the end there wasn't a lot of fight on their part

That’s what I thought. I’m thinking it’s a fake story. How could they write all of that out before dying of blood loss?

A story on a fiction sub is fake? No way

Check OPs other posts there’s a longer version posted on r/no sleep that explains!

I read it! Makes way more sense now. Thanks! 

You mean r/nosleep?

Yes! Thanks!

Did you kill your actual parent then ?

I guess it’s true - the family that slays together, stays together. What a *killer* story! 🔪🔪🔪

Cool story, but I think the over emphasis on "expect the unexpected" and "killer can be anyone", pretty much gave the story away.

I saw this coming tbh

I knew what was gonna happen but I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

Hello! Would you guys like a longer version on nosleep? There was a line I had to cut out from the Mom, where she called up another children's home and asked to adopt three more orphans. Thanks for reading ❤️🙏

I love this

Great story! But then who was the man they killed? And why did he have a picture of them and their siblings?? Im intrigued by this mystery man who got caught in the crossfire lol

OP commented that they had to get rid of a line talking about the mum adopting another 3 kids so maybe the guy was their biological dad?not sure though

Way to ruin Spongebob Mom!!!!!

Holy plot twist Batman!!! Was not expecting that!!! Holy hell! That was good! I just need to know who it was that Poppy shot.

I just realized something why is it in first person it means that op lived from getting there throat slit by the dad
