What is the 'smallest horror story' you've ever heard?

I once heard a story about three friends who went on a road trip. They were an artist, a musician, and a writer. Along the way, they inspired each other. The artist painted the beautiful landscapes they saw, the musician composed a song inspired by the journey's rhythm, and the writer penned a story about their adventure. It was a 'threesome' in the sense of a great combination of creative minds.

There was a girl who was bullied in high school. Years later, she became a successful entrepreneur. The bully was struggling to find a job. The girl's company was hiring, and the bully applied. The girl recognized her but still hired her. Then she worked the bully really hard, always giving her the toughest tasks. Eventually, the bully quit out of exhaustion. That was her revenge - using her success to make the bully face her own inadequacy.

There's this story about a haunted theater. An actress died during a performance on that stage many decades ago. Since then, actors and crew members have reported all sorts of strange happenings. Lights would flicker on and off during rehearsals, and sometimes you could hear the sound of a woman singing when no one was there. I once worked backstage at that theater for a short time. One day, I was alone in the dressing room, and I felt a cold breeze brush past me. I quickly left the room, thinking it might be the ghost of that actress.

There's a spooky story about a cemetery. Legend has it that a witch was buried there long ago. Every full moon, her spirit rises. She lures people into the cemetery with a soft voice. If you follow the voice, you get lost among the tombstones and can't find your way out until the sun comes up.

A best night story for me is 'The Ugly Duckling'. It shows that no matter how different you may seem at first, you can grow into something beautiful. The poor duckling endures so much hardship and loneliness. But in the end, it turns into a magnificent swan. It gives a sense of hope and comfort, which is perfect for a night when you need some positive thoughts.

One of the best Christmas stories I've heard is 'The Gift of the Magi'. It's about a young couple, Jim and Della. They are very poor but deeply in love. Della sells her long beautiful hair to buy a chain for Jim's precious watch, while Jim sells his watch to buy combs for Della's hair. It shows that the best gifts at Christmas are not the most expensive ones, but those given with love.

One great missionary story is about David Livingstone. He dedicated his life to exploring Africa and spreading the Christian faith. He endured numerous hardships, from harsh terrains to dangerous diseases. His work not only introduced Christianity but also increased the Western world's understanding of Africa. His adventures and selfless service make it a remarkable missionary story.

Once upon a time, there was a talking fish that could sing opera. It lived in a pond and every night it would come out and perform for the other animals. But one day, a wizard turned it into a mute frog just because he didn't like opera. Total bullshit, right?

Once upon a time, there was a little bunny. It lived in a cozy burrow at the edge of a big forest. Every night, the bunny would listen to the soft hooting of the owls and the gentle rustling of the leaves. One night, as it was getting ready to sleep, a fairy appeared. The fairy sprinkled some magic dust that made the bunny's bed super comfortable. Then the fairy told a story about a magical land where all the animals could fly. The bunny drifted off to sleep with this wonderful image in its mind.

A group of friends decided to go camping. One of them, thinking he was being really smart, set up his tent on a small hill. During the night, it rained and the water made his tent slide all the way down the hill. He woke up in the middle of a muddy puddle. His friends couldn't stop laughing at the whole back story.
