Today my puppy has been crazy. Biting so much and genuinely hurting me. Now my final straw was when it was bed time and he spilled ALL of his water all over his pen. I told him that i was sick of him and i was so mean.
I didnt hurt him physically. Just said mean things. Now hes going crazy in his pen destroying everything. Does this ever get easier..?
I cant even move without him whining like crazy.

(Please excuse my poor english, its not my first language)

Story by anonymous storyteller
As i was walking home from work i could not stop thinking about the embarassing accident i had that day.
I was stocking some shelves and accidentally knocked over a whole bunch of goods.
Luckily no one saw it and i got it all sorted out so didnt have to tell anyone about it.
At my doorstep i was going through my bag to find my keys when i noticed a small black casette just sitting at my doorstep.
No shipping label, no postal code, nothing. Just a casette.
Ive always been a curious person so after observing my surroundings i took the casette inside.
After some contemplating whether i should or should not watch the casette tape, curiousity took over.
I started playong the casette. It seemed like a badly done short film. Just a woman walking to what seemed like a regular store.
The woman seemed to be an employee since she headed straight to the back. The woman started organizing some shelves and i was about to turn the tape off, but then.
The woman leaned a bit too close to the pile and knocked everything down.
“What the fuck”- i exclaimed. Thats exactly what happened to me today!
I figured it was just a weird coincidence.
Yeah thats what i thought until fast forward the woman was now walking home.
And when she got closer to her house, it looked very eerily similar to mine. At this point i started to get a little nervous.
That little nervous turned into genuine fear when the woman found a casette tape at her doorstep.
Exactly like the one i was playing right now.
The woman walked inside and started playing the tape. I was terrified.
How did this woman do exactly what i did..? Why did the woman kind if look like me?
I knew i should stop watching now, but how could i? I needed to know what happens next.
Nothing happened for a good while, but then the doorbell rang. The woman went to open the door and there was a pizza delivery guy.
“You are not josh i assume?” The guy said.
“Haha no, thats my neighbor right down the street” i said.
The guy then apologized and went to deliver the pizza to my neighbor.
I sighed with relief.
The previous things were just a coincidence and this was just simply a badly done film.
I turned the casette off and just scrolled on my phone on the couch.
Then the doorbell rang.
To be honest at this point i had brushed off the casette completely, so i just went to open the door.
There was a pizza delivery guy.
He said the exact same lines.
“You are not josh i assume?”
My blood ran cold.
“No”- i said shaking and closed the door.
“How did that guy say the same thing as the casette..?” I thought. I wasnt scared. I didnt think to be scared. I was having fun.
I decided to test if it could really predict the future.
I would stub my toe and scream the longest sentence of straight up curse words. Run to the tape and watch it in repeat. It always repeated what i did. Turn the lights off, the woman on the tape did too. Did everything i did. ”This could be fun” i chuckled.
Boy was i wrong. After messing with the tape for a while I decided to head to bed.
I had the casette paused. I should have destroyed it, not messed with it. God, why didnt i destroy it?
After waking up the next morning i went to watch tv like usual. I had forgotten about the casette. But there it was, still paused.
However it wasnt paused at the same point i had paused it the previous night.
Now it was paused on a clip of the same woman walking in an alley.
Once again my rational brain was telling me to not watch the tape, but i couldnt resist. The next things i saw were horrible. The woman was brutally attacked by 3 men carrying large knives. Thats when the film cuts off to complete darkness.
Just empty darkness.
At this point i wasnt having any more fun. I was terrified. If this tape showed my future, would i soon be dead?
I tried to brush it off during my shift but i couldnt. Every time i tried to think about something else the casette came to mind. I was trying to think straight. I thought that there was no alley like that, not here where i work, not where i live.
My boss noticed i was distracted. He wanted to know what was bothering me. I couldnt tell him. Id sound crazy. “i slept poorly”. Classic excuse.
My boss decided that i should deliver some boxes to a nearby bakery, and after that i could cut my shift short and go home to rest.
I agreed. I needed room to think anyways.
I grapped the boxes and hopped in my car. I parked a couple blocks away from the bakery. It was mid October, so it was dark already. Turned a corner, then another. Finally i saw the bakery sign.
I didnt know which way to turn. I chose left. Why the hell did i choose left. This cant be the right turn. No. This is not the bakery. Its an alley. Dark alley.
Now. I hear the footsteps getting closer.
