50-word Horror stories – Kiko

Drive-in nightmares.

The popcorn smell filled the air. Everyone sat in pairs. It was a quiet night in the city of Flaiton, and everyone was getting ready to watch the long awaited Start Wars XII movie. When the climax erupted, Vader removed his mask, only to unveil that he was Adam Sandler.

 

Grey visions. Dark memories.

I walked my daily route, moving higher and higher up the hill that I always hiked. Autumn mornings are great for cardio but the fog is always an obstruction. I heard my name and a sudden scream that made me trip, consequently hurting my arm. There was no one there.

 

Improvised Bait.

Tuesday nights are for fishing at the pier. Miccalo and Rafael have had this tradition for over 4 years of their friendship. But tonight was different; Miccalo’s fishing rod was yanked off his hands and fell into the water, accidently slashing Rafael’s neck who tumbled and fell off the pier.

 

Babyshitter.

Gloria and Peter were happy to finally enjoy a concert. They had left their kids with the babysitter. But things turned awry when they received a notice from their home-camera app that the house was on fire. The babysitter had committed suicide by arson. All they could do is watch.

 

Ashley-back-ribs.

A hard spill and Ashley found herself looking at her broken wrist. She cried and screamed so loud, but no one came. She could see her bone as she fainted. Suddenly she felt a yank on her wrist. It was a street dog who was trying to eat her wrist.
