One night, I heard scratching at my window. I peeked out and saw a faceless figure. It vanished when I blinked.
A man was walking alone in the forest. The moon was full but the trees were too thick to let much light in. He heard rustling behind him. He started to run. But then he realized the rustling was all around him, closing in.
One night, I heard a strange scratching at my window. I peeked through the curtain and saw a pair of glowing eyes staring back at me.
One: 'The mirror showed my reflection, but when I blinked, it didn't.' Another: 'I heard a knock at the door. When I opened it, no one was there, but the doorknob was cold as ice.'
One sentence horror story: The last person on earth sat alone in a room. Then there was a knock on the door.
I was in the forest. A strange howl echoed. When I turned, a pair of glowing eyes stared at me.
I woke up in the middle of the night. There was a figure at the foot of my bed with no face.
One could be 'I entered the abandoned asylum. A cold hand grabbed my ankle.' Another is 'She thought she was alone. But the eyes in the mirror said otherwise.' These short horror stories create a sense of dread quickly with just two sentences.
I opened the attic door. A figure in white rushed towards me. I slammed the door shut, heart pounding.
One 'two sentance horror story' could be 'I always sleep with a nightlight. Last night, I woke up to find it was still on, but I was in complete darkness.' It's terrifying because the contradiction between the nightlight being on yet in complete darkness creates a sense of the unknown and a break in the expected reality.
One '2 sentance horror story' could be 'I woke up in the middle of the night. There was someone standing at the foot of my bed.' It's terrifying because the sudden realization of an unknown presence in your most private and vulnerable space, your bedroom at night, sends shivers down your spine. You don't know who it is or what they might do.
