Well, here's one: 'I woke up to a strange noise. When I turned on the light, no one was there.'
Here's another: 'I saw a shadow in the corner. When I approached, it vanished.' The shortness and suddenness create the horror effect.
Here's another: 'I saw my reflection smile at me. I wasn't smiling.'
One example could be 'I woke up to find a cold hand on my shoulder. I live alone.' Another is 'The old doll in the attic blinked. It was facing the wall before.'
I woke up to a strange noise. When I looked under the bed, I saw a pair of eyes staring back at me.
She heard a knock on the door. Opening it, she saw her own face staring back at her from the darkness.
I woke up to find a strange handprint on my window. Then I realized I live on the 13th floor.
Here's another. 'I found a doll in the attic. Its eyes followed me as I left.' This creates a sense of unease in just two sentences. The idea of a doll having some sort of awareness and the fact that its eyes seem to move on their own is quite creepy. It plays on the common fear of inanimate objects coming to life or having an otherworldly presence. In many horror stories, dolls are often used as a symbol of something sinister because they can look so human - like yet be so lifeless, and this two - sentence story captures that essence of horror.
One example could be 'I heard a scratching at my window. When I opened the curtain, there was a faceless figure.' Another is 'The old house was silent. Then I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the dark corner.'
I heard a baby crying in the attic. I live in an apartment. This is funny horror as it quickly sets up a spooky and illogical situation.
The first one: I always thought my cat had a staring problem. Then I realized he was looking at something behind me.
Well, here are some. 'I always sleep with a nightlight. Last night, I woke up to find it was inside my head.' And also 'My sister said she saw a man in her room. Now she's the one who stares at me at night.'
