Micro horror stories deliver a good scare in a nutshell

By Ninfa GaleanoPublished about a year ago 3 min read

We are in Halloween season and it is the perfect time to read horror micro-stories created by horror fans who have anonymously created incredible stories.

The following 24 horror micro-stories can be found on various internet forums and social networks, the authors have preferred to remain anonymous.

1. Reunion

Everyone in my family can remember our past lives. One day I told my son that I used to be a girl and was killed. He smiled and replied, “Who knew we would meet again?

2. Daughter

My daughter is telling me about the nightmare she had. But...I never had children.

3. She won't stop

My daughter won't stop crying and screaming in the middle of the night. I visit her grave and ask her to stop, but to no avail.

4. Purgatory

I finished my dance performance perfectly and received a round of applause. If I could speak, I would tell the girl that her music box is purgatory and I want to escape.

5.Buried alive

Being buried alive was already horrible. Realizing I wasn't alone in my own grave was worse.

6. Who is my girlfriend?

My girlfriend sent me a message telling me that she had finally arrived and that she was sorry for the delay (15 minutes) but that she had already arrived for me. The problem was that we had already been in the car for 10 minutes.

7. Children

People always ask me how many kids come to my house trick-or-treating. No one asks me how many are leaving.

8. What is that?

All my life my parents had told me not to open the basement door, but I got curious and disobeyed them. What is that glowing ball in the sky and why does it hurt my eyes.

9. A good autobiography

I decided to kill off some characters in the book I'm writing. I think that will make this autobiography much more interesting.

10.Real nightmare

The last thing I saw was my alarm clock striking 12:07, before she buried her long, rotten fingernails in my chest and stifled my screams with her other hand. I woke up tense and felt relieved that it was just a dream, but when 12:06 came on my alarm clock, I heard my closet door creak.

11.Heart attack

After the psychic told Mike he would die of a heart attack, he started riding his bike, making five-mile rides around town every weekend. But when a car lost control and went straight at him, he saw a little old man passed out behind the wheel, had one last moment of lucidity and knew she wasn't referring to his own heart attack.

12.Giggle

I kept hearing a strange chuckle coming from the TV, no matter what channel it was on or what volume level it was at. It never occurred to me to check behind the cabinet.

13.Where am I?

I'm not afraid of having seen the “missing” posters with my face on them, but the fact that the news said my body was found.

14.Killer

They say that once you become a murderer you can easily recognize another murderer. 'He's innocent!”, I announce with the bang of my gavel, closing the case.

15.Sortilege

She closed the book of spells. At last she could see the owner of that voice that had been whispering to him in the night for days: -Come and play...

16.Ridiculous

They say that a mad man is on the loose and dangerous. How absurd, I only want to have fun.

17.Water

I've always dreamed of seeing the sea, to think that now I'm going to drown.

18.The doll

The doll her grandmother had given her always seemed to move. One night, when she woke up, she found it at the foot of her bed, with a note that read: “I am no longer alone”.

19.The watch

Her grandfather's old watch marked the exact time of his death. Every time the hands stopped, she felt a shiver run down her spine. One day, the clock stopped and he did not wake up.

20.The Mirror

Every time he looked in the mirror, a shadow behind him seemed to come a little closer. One night, he decided to turn around. There was nothing there, but the shadow was already inside.

21.The Door

Every morning, the closet door was ajar. One night, he decided to close it and put a padlock on it. When he woke up, the door was open again and a note said, “Thank you for letting me out.”

22.The portrait

Hanging an antique portrait in her living room, Laura noticed that the eyes of the woman in the painting seemed to follow her. Each night, the portrait moved a little closer to the wall. One morning, Laura awoke to find the portrait empty, but the woman standing beside it.

23.Insomnia

To cure my brother's insomnia, I helped him sleep forever.

24. Awake

I never go to sleep. But I keep waking up.
