My kidneys are busted


I loved it, it read like something straight out of night vale. I wanted more of this, especially whatever the survivors of Falling Hill are.

Zack P. articles are my lifeblood. I really like his style. But what was in the box???

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



Love this update. Is it the start of a series like Instructions for a Thing?

I paid $10 to change some guys avatar to an Oblivion Elf with giant tits just to steal this gif
I didn't get it. Was interested but it didn't go anywhere. Found it a bit bizarre.

I can only hope. That Insidious Beast was the first thing that came to mind as I was reading it. I like Zack's style a lot.

Well, that's a first. Haven't read too many articles called "Do You Remember the 1990s?" that send chills up my spine.

Would read a book based on this poo poo.

Yes! I remember! They held her dress up to a black light just to be sure.

Came here specifically because this article was amazing. I love how Parsons always subverts expectations in his articles. I expected something really funny, probably poking fun at ridiculous nostalgia, and got that and something more. Something interesting and disturbing.

I thought, while it was great, it could have ended a bit sooner- the bit about touching people with what was in the box is sort of... direct? I don't know. It just felt like it gave a little bit too much away, without actually offering any new information.

Wonderfully, gently creepy.

I have reached enlightenment, thank you bacon!
Love the article and it does take me back. Tape loading computers, no channels on TV, no mobile phones and most certainly the blackbird SR-71 which I think I remember seeing at an air show one summer. It always seemed to be summer. Loved the 90's, not to mention the ignorance which was awaiting me called "adult life"

Does anybody have the link to this article? I've been looking for it for weeks and would love to read it again.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, it's in the OP.
