Some musings on Borrasca and Borrasca V, now that the Epstein Files have been more significantly released.

I read Borrasca by CK Walker(correction: listened to an audio rendition by MrCreepypasta while I studied) back in 2017 when I still was a teenager. I was into creepypastas and this one in particular caught my eye.

As someone AFAB, it sickened me and terrified me in a way no other horror story had done up until that point. I went to sleep that night and the visions and fear from the finale haunted me.

When I read Borrasca V i was glad it had an end but was also so. disappointed. in the trail of the narrative. It was such a tonal change and felt unrealistic in comparison to the insidious and genuine tone of its predecessor. But hey, a happy ending of some sort was what I felt I needed at the time, especially with the endless pit of anxiety and unrelated trauma that was swirling in my head at that age.

The nice endings felt good but unsettlingly different.

Cut to today, with the Epstein Files having been released in a wider capacity. I’ve read some of it, and off the back of the little bit I have done I feel horrifically empty. Like someone took my lungs and torched them. Fucking terrifying.

Because how the fuck could horror like that be real? How did such depravity become so normalised under our noses? How could Borrasca be REAL?

I think back on Borrasca V. What I once thought was a disappointedly sudden and different ending instead gives me some nauseating hope. I want to hope to all hell that all these disgusting fucks get what they deserve. I hope we see every single predator condemned. I hope that Epstein’s handlers are caught. I want justice for all of the victims at their filthy hands and I hope that all those complicit burn in the deepest pits of hell.

So yeah, Borrasca V is not as good as Borrasca but who cares? Because in our current context and time my memories of a happier ending to that story are important now.

If you go to check it out, Borrasca is very well written by r/nosleep standards. But HUGE CONTENT WARNING. It’s fucking dark. You’ve been warned.

This has gotten me wondering if anyone else has had any experiences with media changing in their minds as a result of this event. Pipe up if so?

It’s hard to feel like you’re not screaming out into the void these days - remember to hold your friends and chosen family’s hands. 🙌

What THE FUCK was Borrasca?? Im still not over the shock that came over me man😭😭 the people that reside in that fuckin town should undergo through all 9 circles of hell Jesus H. Christ!!! ...I literally had to relisten to the creep cast podcast after the QCode one just so I can mentally breakdown with two grown men (Isaiah and Hunter) together. God!

I listened to the No Sleep Podcast episode of Borrasca, it was really good but I really wished I bothered to check the trigger warnings.

I heard there was a sequel, so does any fan of the story know how to best get a hold of the sequel or should I just relisten to the version produced by QCODE that stars famous tumblrina Cole Sprouse and get to the sequel that way?

I’m so torn on the Creepypasta Borrasca.

On the other hand, I do think that at the beginning it started off interesting and it was very engaging and well written, heck even when we get to that horrific twist, I thought CK pulled it off really well in a way, but the whole “ohh SA ohhh so spooky, so imaginative,” lowkey aggravates me.

I don’t know it comes off very cheap edgelord like in a way.

Plus they don’t add any trigger warnings! That bothers me too! Trigger warnings are very important and the fact that this story didn’t have one makes me angry.

I don’t know I’m so torn.

Part of me appreciates how well written it was but a part of me is annoyed on how overhyped it was because it just comes off very edgelord like and cheap in my opinion.

I don’t know, am I the only one?

Let me know.
