Don't Touch the Sides, written by Pam Breshears (that's me!)

A mother stays home sick, listening to her children play a board game downstairs. But each buzz of the game jolts through her body like fire — pulling her back to a memory she’s spent decades trying to forget.

Is it fever? Dream? Or something far worse?

This is domestic horror at its sharpest: where the ordinary turns sour, the comforting becomes suffocating, and even the sound of crayons on paper hums with menace.

🕯️ Ambience: A low, relentless brown noise hum underscores the entire story — a constant, inescapable drone that blurs the line between dream and reality. Some hospital beeps are included in the last quarter of the story.

If you enjoy eerie, slow-burn horror with an ASMR-style delivery, you’ll love this one. Let the buzzing pull you in… but whatever you do:

Don’t. Touch. The sides.

Soft spoken ASMR is used to provide listeners with comfort to ease symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, and ptsd. ASMR with atmospheric sounds—like gentle whispering, soft taps, and calming nature noises works wonders for relaxation and anxiety relief. The soothing sounds and personal attention mimic a comforting, nurturing experience, while promoting mindfulness and focus that diverts attention from anxious thoughts. Physiologically, ASMR can lower heart rate and blood pressure, activating neural circuits linked to relaxation. This powerful combination creates a serene environment, helping individuals unwind and feel at peace.

Listen with headphones for the best experience.

Having recently suffered from depression, I promise that I will do everything in my power to make this channel consistent and make our way through these wonderful classic stories.This video is intended for sleep. #sleepaidAs many of the larger channels noticed first, in November 2023, YouTube rolled out non-optional end-roll ads on all videos. Because this video is intended for you to relax and fall asleep, I’m hoping by adding this hashtag that YouTube becomes aware of the placement of ads on certain video types, like ASMR.
