This horror story made me uncomfortable…

I don’t remember the last time I read a horror story that shocked me to my core. The events that occur in this story are freaking insane, and unbelievable. This author was on another level of horror!

Feed the Pig was written by Elias Witherow, and was first introduced to the world of Creepypasta. The story gained a huge following and became known as one of the best horror stories ever written for Creepypasta fans.

The story follows a man who wakes up in a prison cell, discovering that he is now in a literal hellscape, full of terror and pain.

He encounters other people who are suffering in this other world, souls who are trapped forever.

In order to escape such an evil environment and go back to his old life, he must do one task that many were terrified to complete.

Feed the Pig.

After experiencing so much horror, the protagonist decides to choose the route of feeding the pig. A young man named Danny aids him on his quest, but not before blindfolding the main character.

What follows is a great sequence of sounds that the main character hears, everything left to the imagination of the readers.

Then he meets the pig…but what follows is one of the worst horrors I have ever read in a story.

Feed the Pig is extremely graphic, and I would never recommend this story.

While the story is memorable for its amazing horror, I don’t think this story would be for everyone.

There are many heavy themes and events that happen in this story, and I think a lot of readers would be uncomfortable with the content. One of the themes in this book involves the use of the afterlife.

The story takes place in a sort of purgatory or limbo, focusing on a certain type of action that people commit to get sucked into such a terrifying universe. I don’t want to say what it is, due to how heavy it is.

Take it from me, a horror lover who couldn’t stand reading this story. I had to keep taking breaks, and it took me a week to finish this short tale. I don’t get uncomfortable easily, but this story took it to the next level.

What’s crazy is that I don’t think the author did any of this for shock level. To be honest, there is hardly any crazy stuff that happens in this story. It’s very few events, but each scene pays off in the most horrific way.

The ending is one of the most disturbing sequences I have ever read in a short horror story.

The ending is…how do I write this…pretty horrific.

This is the only spoiler I will share for this story, so please turn back if you don’t want to read anymore.

So…for the main character to escape from the hellscape he is trapped in, he must…feed…himself…to the pig.

Let that sink in for a moment.

The main character has to feed himself to the pig to leave this other world.

WHAT???

I couldn’t believe what I was reading as the main character goes inside of the pig’s mouth…only to feel himself getting chewed on.

This part made me feel so dizzy. The graphic way that he described every single bit of pain, as the pig slowly crunched into his flesh was absolutely sickening and brutal. I kept moving my body, touching my stomach.

One part involved one of the pig’s teeth sinking straight into his belly. That part broke me for a full minute.

This entire sequence makes a lot of sense as to why this story gained a lot of horror fans. This moment is like every horror fan’s dream.

Or nightmare.

It took me a long time to shake this story out of my system, but I had to give this story some credit.

I struggled to finish this story.

Now that is an achievement that only few horror stories have accomplished!

Thank you for reading!
