Only a few things on the internet are permanent. And one writing prompt that was introduced in 2017 has remained popular for quite some time.
Titled “#Case: 273402” Kitten Wiskers, better known as Mindy these days, wrote the story titled “Status: Disastruous.” It follows Charlotte Dower, a little girl who is no longer afraid of the creatures beneath her bed. It quickly becomes clear that there is a much worse creature in her life.
The story has piqued many people’s interest, but due to Russian artist Natalya Sorokina, it has been transformed into an outstanding comic strip. Natalya, also known as jwitless, said it was her “first coloured comics ever,” which made her slightly nervous. Let’s have a look at the stunning illustrations below, and prepare for the haunting story to hit you hard.

The narrative is one of the most widely circulated on the internet, and it has inspired a great deal of fan art, including films. In 2018, a short horror film titled “Charlotte and the Monster” was released, inspired by Kitten Wiskers’ story.
Since its debut, the story has been disseminated so widely on social media platforms that it is becoming difficult to establish the precise day it was posted. It purportedly began as a writing prompt on one Tumblr blog dedicated to stories, poetry, humorous remarks, and additions from the Tumblr community.
And Russian artist Natalya Sorokina decided to illustrate it in this comic strip
Natalya, a 25-year-old artist from Moscow, to learn more about her passion for drawing. Natalya works as an illustrator for a number of design firms and also takes on commissions for individuals’ personal projects. “I like to switch styles and themes, so my Instagram gallery may seem too diverse—from sexy portraits to cute comics for children.”
Natalya expressed her enthusiasm for “drawing beautiful people, fantasy creatures, and making meaningful stories which touch the strings of human souls.” When she first started drawing as a child, she focused on horses: “I made dozens of comics with horses in notebooks, where my mom helped me to write down characters’ conversations.” Natalya later acquired a fondness for creatures she had never seen in real life.
