Chilling Twists That Flip the Story on Its Head

No matter how certain we are about a tale or how well we think we can predict its outcome, there is always an unforeseen twist that will catch us off guard, testing all we think we know about life or our loved ones. Each story in this book includes a big surprise that reshapes the narrative, turning it completely on its head.

Story 1: 

I was with my 5 y.o. son waiting for our flight when he got lost. Panicked, I called his dad, and he rushed over to help search for him. 2 hours later, a woman in her 30s found him at the airport. 20 years later, as I was telling a friend about this kind stranger, my son turned and said, “She wasn’t a stranger. Dad knew her!” I froze as he added, “I wasn’t lost that day. Dad took me, and she was there at the airport waiting for him with two suitcases—one for her and one for him. She and Dad were planning to run away and take me with them

 

I was sh0cked. At the time, my husband and I were struggling in our relationship, but I never imagined it had gone this far. I asked my son why he hadn’t told me, and he said he didn’t want to ruin our marriage, especially since we eventually worked things out. But as he got older, he put the pieces together and was certain the woman was Dad’s lover, especially since he remembered seeing them kiss.

I confronted my husband, and he broke down in tears. He admitted he had planned to leave with her and take our son, but at the last moment, the woman panicked and decided to return my son to me. Now, my whole world feels shattered, and I can’t shake the feeling that my entire marriage was a li:e.

Story 2: 

Story 3: 

My mom shows up at my grandmother’s house randomly. They’ve been estranged for a few years. My mom is 57, and my grandmother is 75. My grandmother says she doesn’t want to speak, that she’s getting ready for work, and to call if she needs to talk. My mother proceeds to scream at my grandmother, then puts something on my grandmother’s car and leaves.

It’s a paternity test, saying her father is not her father. © JEC2eec / Reddit
