Talk:The Strangest Security Tape I've Ever Seen/@comment-5269370-20150818143349

When I first read this I thought it was kind of boring, and that the ending didn't make much sense. I don't know why, but over time this has really, really grown on me, and I find it much, much creepier than when I had first read it.

What I now love most about this is just how simple and concise everything is. The writing reflects the protagonist's general "fuck it" attitude so well ("The only thing more boring than doing this job is watching someone else do it.") and it ties in so naturally with its steady building plot.

Jeremy's character and both of the time loops are both subtly really eerie, which become more and more haunting the more you think about them. When I read it first I found the time loops more trivial than scary, but when I imagined it watching me at my desk, and seeing myself do the same thing on loop every hour, it was actually quite nerve-wrecking.

I do feel this is an underrated gem. 9.3/10
