When he noticed it was actually the glint from a rifle scope, his jaw dropped.....along with the rest of his body.
As Jeremy gave his high school graduation speech, he used his hand to shield the sun from his eyes.
The ghost would still tell long winded speeches! Lol
What a great haunting.
So Professor Binns lol
Imagine youre just chilling in your home, reading a book.
Time Of Your Life by Green Day just starts ominously playing in the next room
This happened to my friend :( she was so excited to graduate and she got murdered the week before
I am so sorry for your loss, and hers. 💔
As the principal reloaded, he thought "I warned him, speeches are to be under 3 minutes"
I love this! I picture principal Lewis from American Dad. 🤣
That is 100% Principal Lewis behavior, lol.
Student: (gives a speech lasting 3 minutes and 1 second)
Principal: "So you have chosen... death."
I mean...
Jeremy spoke in . . . cla-aaasssss todaaaaaaaay
😂😂😂It's an hour long speech, but he only says 10 words!
Aww this is such a sad song, too
I was waiting for this comment
🤘
Why do I picture an annoying, nasal voice, too!
My first thought too! Something along the lines of, well that's backwards 😅
Clearly I remembered picking on the boy. Seemed a harmless little fuck.
It’s one of those songs where you have to read the lyrics to understand what he’s saying. I always thought it was “homeliest little fuck.” Like he was plain-looking. God I miss liner notes.
Shouldn’t have been talking bad on the toilet paper industry
Those are scary people there!
Imagine the damage they can do if they wish
real question is why was he shielding the sun from his eyes?? why are Jeremy's eyes so powerful even the sun has to be protected from them?
Lol. I like this! Maybe his last name is Norris; his father's name is Chuck.
“As he realized the brightness was much larger than his thumb, his entire hand in fact, he knew that graduation speeches were not going to be a tradition for a very long time.”
You mean, until civilization gets rebuilt after the nuclear holocaust, or am I misunderstanding entirely?
Yeah that’s what I meant
That’s what happens when you get too political in your speech
No sympathy for Jeremy, I see! 😂😂
“Jeremy spoke in class today…”
I’m sympathetic but realistic
So he wasnt raising his arm to block the sun ?
This comment is underated gold. I see what you did there.
No mercy for austrian painters sympahtizers.
I was assuming he said something vaguely left wing and was promptly murdered by the establishment
Oh well the arm raising thing I was thinking of isnt really a left wing thing
Oooohhhh. I think I see what you were adding to the mix! Interesting!
Sadly those guys never seem to get shot. I think it has something to do with who likes shooting people
I mean, George Rockwell got killed. It's best for the government to have none of their pawns grow too influential on their own.
Hey guys I’ve been reading about labour unions and I think we should
BLAM!
With the graduation speeches that got cancelled this year because they were considered too political this hits too close to home 🥺
Exactly what I was thinking
He’d never make those stupid, snide comments about getting back to the kitchen again.
Boeing when they catch someone speaking out against them:
No officer, those six shots to the back of the head from a revolver found 8.4 miles away were definitely a suicide!
My graduation is in 4 days,,,, thanks
Congrats!!! I'm proud of you! 😊
Try and erase this from the blackboard
Man, I really do hate it when an assassin kills a high school kid. Makes my job as a janitor much harder.
Oh shoot, nice twist!😂
Happy cake day!
thank youuu!!
I saw this Pearl Jam music video
These replies are hilarious. 😂 Now to add my two cents/idea. Maybe poor Jeremy gave a different speech than the school wanted and that’s what he gets. 🤣
That would never happen unless the scope was the size of a building window.
Hey now! Don't let little things like facts or science get in the way! 🤣🤣🤣
This is a sub for horror stories.
A smidge of realism helps make horror possible. Taking something that absurdly out of place makes it more of a comedy than a horror.
Being the target of a sniper of graduation day is agoraphobic as fuck and puts all the realism you need lol the author can get away with the "glistening sniper scope"
Glistening scope, sure, but at no point are you going to mistake it for the sun. If the sniper is that incompetent you are the safest person on that stage. I’d hate to be within 4’ of the target at that point, but the target would be fine.
Well i mean it is the sun causing the scope to glisten.
Its like when your phone is on the table and the sunlight hits it just right to completely blind you for a moment lol (hyperbole ofc) so "shielding the sun" should technically still work
Have you ever been around a scope or a sniper? Your phone blinds you because you are feet away, or less.
If you are hiding and using a scoped gun you’ll be tens of yards away at minimum and using a small surface area that curved, and partially shielded if you have any clue what you are doing. Not to mention a sniper, at least one trying to get away with it, isn’t going to set up with the sun directly behind the target, which would impair their view, and would need to shield the sun themselves.
you must be incredibly fun at parties
Many of my parties involve shooting guns so yes, people tend to call them fun.
my dads name is jeremy good riddance
Ouch! hugs
thanks friend hugs
This would be an great way to start a book 👍 kudos to you
May I suggest an alternative ending? “Only then did he clearly see that the glow in the distance was taking on the shape of a mushroom.”
Edit: nvm people already did it better
Absolutely! I always enjoy when people comment with alternatives or add-ons to my posts. You are all appreciated! 😊
His last words "Ill make homework available to everyone!"
Bro was Martin Luther Kinged ain't no way.
is this a pearl jam reference?
I know this is supposed to be fictional, but a highschool in my town (St. Louis area) just had a shooting at their graduation ceremony a few days ago. Absolutely wild that I then see this scenario here
Oh my! I hope everyone is safe. The only time shootings are acceptable is in fictional story form. Prayers to those affected there.
Gonna take a short nap.
This would have read a lot better without the "along with the rest of his body" at the end
Yall gotta stop saying my name it's freaking me out
knew a twin, we had just graduated and few weeks before and he got hit by a drunk driver… never got to see. my friend who was dating him at the time never recovered (11 years ago)
He hadn’t meant to display his superpowers just yet ; but alas opportunity often presents persistently.
It wasn’t the sun. Vault-Tec enacted their plan.
Finally getting out of high school and not even making it out of the high school…. I’d be so pissed my spirit would come back to haunt people.
