What are the characteristics of trippy short stories?
Trippy short stories are known for their mind - bending concepts. They can involve abnormal transformations like in 'The Metamorphosis'. They often challenge our understanding of the world and human nature. For instance, in 'Harrison Bergeron', the extreme equality measures make you think about what true equality really means. They also use vivid and sometimes disturbing imagery. In 'The Yellow Wallpaper', the description of the wallpaper and the woman's growing fixation on it is both vivid and disturbing, which adds to the trippy feel.
One characteristic is the unexpected twists. In 'The Veldt', you don't expect the children's relationship with the virtual nursery to turn so dark. Trippy short stories also tend to have unreliable narrators. Take 'The Tell - Tale Heart', the narrator's sanity is clearly in question, and his view of events is warped. And they usually create a sense of unease or confusion. In 'The Lottery', the whole concept of the lottery is so strange and the reactions of the townspeople are so nonchalant that it makes the reader feel off - balance.
