Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

The character of Carrie herself. She is an outcast, bullied and mistreated, which makes readers feel sympathy for her at first. But then her telekinetic powers and her vengeful actions are what create the horror. It's a great contrast.

Well, 'Sredni Vashtar' by Saki is a great horror flash fiction. It tells the story of a boy who has an unusual and rather terrifying relationship with a polecat - ferret. Then there's 'The Black Cat' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator's self - destruction due to his guilt over mistreating his cat is quite horrifying. Also, 'August Heat' by W.F. Harvey, where a man has a premonition of his own death through a strange encounter and a drawing, and the sense of impending doom is palpable.

A classic opening line might be 'The graveyard was filled with an unnatural stillness as the moon hung low in the sky.' This not only gives a spooky setting but also creates a sense of unease. The graveyard is a typical horror setting, and the description of the moon and the stillness draws the reader in, making them wonder what lurks within that stillness.
