Dark Taboo Stories
Welcome to Dark Taboo Stories, the podcast that ventures into the unknown, the forbidden, and the unsettling corners of the human experience. Each week, we uncover the tales that society shies away from—stories that challenge our perceptions, evoke uncomfortable truths, and leave us questioning everything we thought we knew.
From unsolved mysteries to controversial topics, these are the stories no one talks about—until now.
Dark Taboo Stories isn't for the faint of heart. So, if you're ready to explore the darker side of life, to confront the unspoken, and to embrace the strange, then settle in.
The shadows are waiting... and so are the stories.
Dark Taboo Stories
Empty Arms
I've written this story to explore the devastating psychological impact of infertility and the moment of clarity that can cut through even the most desperate act. Sarah's journey—from the aching want, through the dissociative theft, to the crushing realization and guilt—tries to honour both the very real pain of childlessness and the profound wrong of her actions.
The story doesn't excuse what she did, but it does try to understand the place of absolute desperation that could drive someone to such an unthinkable act, and the moral core that ultimately couldn't live with it.
