3-Sentence Scary or Weird Stories

I came across some of these somewhere, and they were entitled "2-Sentence Scary Stories". I thought the idea had potential for our ATS amusement, so I changed it to three sentences (at your creative discretion), because "beginning, middle and end" makes more sense to me.
Here are a few examples taken from the site:

- When I finally grabbed her in the darkness, I swam back to the surface. It never occurred to me how fast the ice could freeze over.

– I awoke to the sound of the baby monitor crackling with a voice comforting my firstborn child. As I adjusted to a new position, my arm brushed against my wife, sleeping next to me.

-My sister says that mommy killed her. Mommy says that I don’t have a sister.

– I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.”

– I can’t move, breathe, speak or hear and it’s so dark all the time. If I knew it would be this lonely, I would have been cremated instead.

Below is my first effort. I had to make multiple adjustments. It's amazing how quickly I can turn one sentence into a paragraph!, so it was far too long. This is the trimmed down version:

The thick fog rolled in quickly with what looked like blinking fireflies within it's grey waves and the couple walking on the beach felt the sensation of being lifted into it's damp thick greyness. Surrounded by cats eyes, they waited to be lowered back down to the soft white sand. But they never were, and now it's hard to recognize each other with their glowing, yellow eyes, as they roll over mountains, parieries, and of course, the sea.

I can still remember being a kid.
Then I became an adult who never accepted Jesus Christ.
Now I roast in eternal hell-fire.

She can see the future.
I'm not in it.
WTF do I do now?

I see a rock-covered well in the middle of a field of flowers.

I walk toward the well and when I reach it I peer over the side slipping and falling in. As I fall I notice a light at the bottom of the well beckoning me in the darkness.

I suddenly wake up in mid-air and fall to my bed.


Real dream I had many years ago every night for approximately 3 months.

Can we stick to the 3 sentence rule?
That may be a problem for some of you.
Your kind will be erased from all existence.

Ah yes, but one must remember the beauty and functionality of the semi-colon. : )

Here is more than 3....I wanted to fill in some more when I was done so....

The pastors wife sat in a dim lit room listening to her husband snore while typing away in the night.

She devised the perfect scare story about demonic possession filled with luxury of detail and hints of genuine emotion.

She pressed enter and sent the message to the insolent boy who mocked her husband last Sunday...."that will show him"

The next day she had a message in her inbox from the boy...."I believe,I know"...satisfied she sipped her coffee under a smug grin.....then her husband the pastor ran towards the door in a rush...."whats wrong honey" She asked. "The police just called, they found a car wreck...its the boy I told you about, he died on his way home last Sunday"....

"wait no, I just spoke to him"...."no you must be mistaken", and he left.

Then the inbox chimed as soon as the door shut behind the pastor.....it was from the boy....

The title read "do you believe in demons, do you know too?"

She dropped her mug of coffee when she saw the reflection in the computer screen........

What do they do with the other half of the colon?
They grind it into hot-dogs.
That's what they do.

Now that's just plain weird.

I don't think I can write just 3 sentences.
I really don't believe I can.
I will try, in the future, to comply.

Following the Rule is a good thing.
Doing the good thing is a good thing.

I thought it was three, and I went back and counted and it was four, lol!

You are excused! I liked it. When you hit the bed from mid-air it reminded me of astral projection.

While asleep on a wintery night, I was awakened by a bone-deep cold. Just as I began to regain consciousness, I felt my blanket being pulled over my uncovered body. I opened my eyes to see no one there.



In the middle of the night, a father's sleep was interrupted by the sound of his children laughing and noisily playing with their toys downstairs. As the drowsy father angrily approached the commotion, he encountered a lightless and silent playroom. Returning upstairs, he found his children sound asleep in their rooms.

I hear you moving around up there. I'm so lonely. What is it like on the other side of the grave?

The worms have eaten into my brain.
I am so hungry.
I could eat a horse...or damn near anything else.

A baby's laughter is one of the more beautiful sounds you will ever hear.
Unless it's 3 am, find you're home alone.
And you don't have a baby.
