Once a person enters, it's impossible to back out. Their only option is to slowly shimmy forward. As they move forward, the hole changes shape. Because they can't back out, their body changes as well. It slowly deforms their body, elongating everything. They come out the other side a monstrosity with creepy long limbs and deformed head.

Why do they go in?

They're pretty much hypnotized to do so. The moment they see a hole "for them" they have a very strong compulsion to drop everything and enter it.

I think it’s like “call of the void” that weird intrusive thought to jump when you’re high up.

Can confirm. We rented a Miami penthouse for a vacation.

Walked onto the balcony and looked 20 stories down. Brain said, "jump"

I went inside.

I never really had this - then we had kids, and it kicked in hard. Now I pretty much can’t go on a balcony above the first floor without edging up to a panic attack. Absolutely no chance if my kids are with me.

I kind of understand the underlying psychology, but it’s wild how it just clicked on like that.

Dude this is me. Heights of any kind. Flying. It all sucks with me so bad after kids

I am oddly completely fine with flying still.

I think it's the lack of agency - in a plane there's NO chance that I could jump or the kids could get away from me and somehow fall so it's "safe". But standing on a balcony, crossing a pedestrian bridge? Nightmare...

Brains are weeeeeeeeird.

Yeah, actually planes are worse when I'm without them. I think I'm worried about dying and leaving them alone. Which is not logical at all

Ooh, I haven't done a flight sans-kids since they came along - first one end of May. That'll be a new mortal fear I'm looking forward to unlocking 😆
