Short Horror Stories

Wanted to share some creepy sentences which floated across my news feed a couple of days
ago. The posted link leads to a graphic which displays a series of creepy sentences that I guess
originated on Reddit.
I found these to be so fascinated that I started to think of some ideas of my own. I wanted to
share some of the two-sentence long stories that I wrote. Youre welcome to give it a try and
share the results in the comments.
1. I was washing the last of the dishes from dinner when my roommate returned, and told
me that he had meant to grab his science experiment from the refrigerator but grabbed
my container of homemade salsa by mistake. Then, he looked inside the fridge and
asked, "What did you have for dinner?" "Tacos," I said.
2. While the students were quietly reading, Mrs. Gunther picked up the apple she had been
saving since lunch and took a bite. As she was chewing, she noticed a half-bitten worm
fall out of the apple and onto her desk. (Inspired by a true story)
3. Meredith Hamilton wept with joy and relief as she studied her newborn son's features:
his tiny fingers, beautiful closed eyes, his face as he cried his first cries. Her thoughts
were interrupted when the doctor suddenly grabbed her husband's arm and said, "You'll
want to cut a lot higher than that, Mr. Hamilton. The circumcision isn't scheduled until
tomorrow."
4. Tom embraced his wife's battered and lifeless body just a few feet from the wreckage of
their car. He was too stricken with grief to notice the low growling sounds originating
from her throat and the sensation of her fingers brushing against his back.
5. (In the style of a text message) <The Wife> I forgot to tell you that this morning I might
have damaged your iPad this morning when I used it to try to squash the scariest bug
I've ever seen. It had a million legs, huge pincers on the back, and was about the length
of my ring finger. I missed, and the bug scurried into your underwear drawer. <Read at
