“The M Show Fan Club” by lenalona “The letters were sent off and every day we all rushed to the mailbox to get our The M Show Club badges. While a good story on its own, it’s a heart-stopping comment from a user staying in character that adds the best plot twist to the story. Making great use of r/NoSleep’s format, Nathan goes the extra step in providing screenshots of his messages with “Emily” and photos where she’s “tagged” herself. Soon “Emily” begins feeding Nathan fragments of their old text messages, conversations never written down, and Emily alluding to being “FREEZING” and alone. But a year later, on September 2013, Nathan begins receiving strange Facebook messages from Emily’s account. In the story, Nathan’s girlfriend Emily died in August 2012.
