The phone rang at midnight. A voice hissed, 'I'm outside.' I peeked through the curtain. Red eyes stared back. I froze in fear.

I woke in the dark. A cold hand touched my face. I saw a shadow. Then, silence. I'm still not sure if it was a dream.

One common theme is the unknown. For example, in stories where there are strange noises or figures that can't be easily explained. It creates a sense of fear because our minds start to imagine all sorts of terrifying things. Another theme is isolation. Like the man driving alone on a lonely road. When you're alone, there's no one to help you, and that makes the situation scarier. Also, the idea of the supernatural, such as haunted dolls or houses with dark pasts, is often used as it defies our understanding of the normal world.

One horror story could be about a girl who moves into an old house. At night, she hears strange scratching noises coming from the attic. Every time she tries to go up there during the day to investigate, the door is locked. One night, the scratching gets so loud it wakes her up. She decides to break the attic door down. Inside, she finds a diary that reveals the previous owner was a serial killer who hid his victims in the attic. She suddenly feels a cold hand on her shoulder.

An elderly mother quit her job to take care of her seriously ill son. With her efforts, her son's condition gradually improved, and she also found her own happiness in the process. This story tells us that the true feelings in the world are precious and need us to cherish and protect them.

Keep it simple and focused. Choose a single main idea and build around it without getting too complicated.
