Story 1: The Dark Room

Imagine you are in a dark room, then you hear screeching sounds from up above then suddenly from your left ear you hear it. You turn around to the left, and see nothing there.

However, when you go back looking up front you see a small light. You walk towards it, and check what was there. You took a closer look it was only just a chair being shone by a ceiling lamp.

You go near it and inspect what was weird to it, but then you hear another screeching sound above. You look above and you see something near the ceiling lamp, but because the light is in the way you can only see a figure.

You try to cover the light with your hand, and the figure gets a bit clearer. You notice it wasn't a figure but just a cloth. A piece of torn clothes.

You pull the chair towards the centre and try to reach for the torn clothe, but you hear another screeching sound.

When you look where the sound came from you see a small figure approaching from the shadows, you can barely see it, but you are able to see it enough because of the lamp's light.

You ignore the clothe that was on the ceiling lamp and look towards the approaching figure. It was a girl. You wonder, why she is in a dark place and you also wonder what you are doing in such a dark place to begin with as well. However, you can't see her face clearly well because of her long hair.

Her hair colour was black, and she was wearing white torn clothes. As she approaches you, you get down from the chair. You think it might be best to comfort the child, being in the darkness alone for so long.

As you reach her. You kneel to her height and moved your hands closer to her hair. You removed the hair slowly to reveal her face. However, you notice something strange. There was a chain on her feet, you wonder why it didn't make any noises while she was approaching you.

Your hand moves away from the face, and towards the chains. When you were mere inches away from it, you were suddenly thrown on the ground.

You see the girl standing on top of you. You wonder why she has the strength to throw you at the ground, but then....it happened.

It happened, something unnatural happened.

The chains were no longer dragged around the floor. It was now tied around her neck.

The chains connected to the ceiling lamp that was lighting the room. She was not on top of you, but her feet were floating in the air. You got scared by the sudden events and stood up as quickly as you could. Backing away from the girl.

As you move away from the girl you are once again in the darkness, but with enough light to reveal yourself. You look closer to the girl that is hanging on the lamp. You wonder how a lamp can be able to carry such a girl. You move closer, but you notice something again. Her hair was moving.

You don't approach as you have already know about how strange stuff keeps happening in this dark strange room. You never even knew how you ended up in this room.

Then the head move, not just the hair, but the whole head moved, it twisted making the face look in your direction. You were startled as to how it quickly turned to look at you.

You close your eyes and cover your ears wanting this to be all over. You open your eyes again, hoping to see yourself back to your everyday life. What is in-front of you is just the lamp and the chair. There was no girl.

You sigh in relief of the disappearance of the girl and get up. As you blinked a girl in bloody red clothes with chains around her neck was in front of you smiling, you can clearly see the face. It was covered in blood. You scream, but as you scream, the girl screamed as well and with a horrifying screeching sound.

You woke up, sweating, when you notice you are back to your bedroom. Your everyday life. You wipe the sweat on your forehead and lay down on the bed. As you look up on the ceiling you see the same girl.

You were never heard of after, THE END.

Criticize by Mickr4 "Didn't really scare me, but it feels like a mix of a few horror stories and i think it would be good with special effects"

Proofscared by a girl "It wasn't really scary, but after I finished reading it, I'm too scared to get food in the dark hallway now." P.S. She is too shy to share her username
