Sometimes you can find a little gem in the piles and piles of creepy pastas now littering the internet but you can also find a lot of stories based on the shittiest horror tropes. I was just reading one that was pretty good, tense and with good pacing if a bit melodramatic, and the payoff was the old murderer-escaped-from-a-mental-hospital trope that's been around since the fucking victorian era. I would like those 35 minutes of my lifespan back, thanks.
