“None Of Us Have Mentioned It”

“Back when I was in college, my mom would tell me to bring all my dirty laundry home with me on the weekends I would spend with my folks, and she would do it for me. I only had 1 laundry basket, so I stuffed that thing so full of dirty socks and underwear and jeans and shirts it weighed 40 pounds, and when I carried it out to my car I had to use my chin to keep it all inside the basket.
When I got to my parents’ house, I spent about five minutes getting the basket and clothes in the precarious position where I could carry it inside. Though my arms were outstretched, I still had enough leeway with my right hand to open the screen and turn the knob of the front door without the entire contraption collapsing on me. I took one step inside and was accosted with every child’s worst fear. My dad was going to town with my mom on the front couch.
At first, I really didn’t know what I was seeing. Be it shock, or the intense concentration required to keep all of those clothes from falling to the ground. At some point though, my mother’s eyes and my own made contact and an instant realization and panic came upon both of us. My father, though, had yet to notice.
The worst thing is, because I was overloaded and the screen had just shut behind me, I had no escape.
Finally, my father noticed I had entered the room, and like a gazelle demounted my mom and in three bounds, had exited the room. Finally, I was able to get the screen door to open, walked back out to my car, threw the basket in the trunk without caring about the contents and drove to a friend’s house.
To this day, none of us have mentioned it.”
What He Found Was Horrible

“I was in Qatar for a deployment with the Navy. I walked into the bathroom to pee and saw two young guys on the bathroom floor. One was laying on his back, his skin was bone white, and he was profusely bleeding out of his side while his friend knelt over him trying to stuff it with paper towels screaming at him to stay awake.
The rumor mill was that they were wasted and playing with their knives. Whatever happened before, I walked in on somebody’s truly last moments.”
They Were Not OK

“Right after college, I moved in with a few friends. They were really into illegal substances, so whenever they decided to stay home and ‘party,’ I would just go out. One night I came home, and the house was very quiet, which was unusual. I walk down the hall and open my roommate’s door. Nothing could have prepared for what I was about to see.
My roommate is completely naked sitting on her bed. She had been chewing on her bottom lip so bad that blood is running down her chest. My other two roommates are trying to take care of her and calm her down, but they are so messed up that they aren’t much help. It was like a scene out of The Exorcist, really messed up.”
He Couldn’t Believe What He Stumbled Across
“I walked into an illegal gambling den hidden inside a nondescript grey building next to the auto shop near where I broke down. I thought it was the office of the shop. Nope. A very large, very scary Asian man pushed me back out the door and slammed it in my face.”
“It Was Definitely The Worst Day Of My Life”
“Not so much walked in on, but woke up to. I shared a room with my younger brother at home. He was epileptic and would sometimes have seizures in his sleep. They would wake me up, and I would roll him to his side and make sure he had a clear airway.
Well, this one night I guess it just never woke me up. I woke up in the morning to my mother, frantically calling his name.
