Horror stories in two sentences

Post by Jack the Reaper »

Hi everybody (it's been a long while, I know...), I found a really creepy thread of the shortest horror stories you can think of, in two sentences each:
http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comme ... n_come_up/

And I thought it could be the right place to produce more of those candies. Who wants to give it a try? What is the best horror story you can put in two sentences?

If you can read it, you know the truth.

She kept her eyes locked on the ceiling above her and her hands away from the stitches on her chest. Trying to forget didn't help--every time she closed her eyes she could still see the maggots.

So I left the two puppies in the cage - best of friends, really cute pair - with plenty of water and no food.

I'd like to observe what will happen.

This pain, the screaming, all those burning faces -I can't take it anymore! I wish they would loosen my restraints...

Yup, I've seen that one. I also live with it:
"You're the oldest in our family, so you'll die first, right daddy?" - My daughter, age 4.
"Sometimes, I think we'll come home, and you'll tell us we have a guest, and I'll go into the living room and our guest will be sitting on the couch, and it will be Darth Vader." - My other daughter, age 6.

The hospital seems eerily quiet. Strange, as only moments ago I could hear the crunching of my sternum and the frantic voices of the doctors.

Getting back to the topic at hand:

The stranger wearing my face smiles, and shouts upstairs, "Just finishing this project in the basement, Honey!" I strain against the gag as she tells him dinner is getting cold.

"I told you the next time you tried to go, there would be consequences," she reminded him sadly. And as she prepped his leg for amputation, the most frightening part was how truly bad he felt having disappointed her.

IMO the VERY best one was with the guy that woke up and saw his daughter's smiling face a few inches from him and she told him as he opened his eyes "I want to peel the skin off your face". In fact I would have used that as a horror story, but it wasn't mine

One of the guys I work with lives alone and passed away at home on the 4th of July. It was a week before anyone discovered him, the details were pretty awful.

True story. :(
I only wish I had retired sooner!
