Another great one is 'The Monkey's Paw'. A family is given a magical monkey's paw that can grant three wishes. But each wish comes with a horrible price. Their first wish for money results in their son's death at work, and the money is compensation. It's a cautionary tale about the unexpected and often dark consequences of getting what you think you want.

There's 'The Tell - Tale Heart'. The narrator in this story is obsessed with an old man's 'vulture - like' eye. He plots and kills the old man, then hides his body under the floorboards. But as the police come to investigate, he starts to hear the old man's heart still beating, getting louder and louder until he confesses. The paranoia and the sense of guilt make this story quite scary.

There was this dream where I was in a school, but it was completely empty except for a single classroom. I walked towards that classroom and when I opened the door, there was a teacher standing at the front. But the teacher's face was made of clocks, all ticking at different speeds. The hands of the clocks were like sharp needles. I was so scared that I couldn't move, and then I woke up with a start.
