Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.
Rules are simple:
- Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
- No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
- Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
- Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
- Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
- Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

This is the kind of stuff I thought of when I slept in a basement "bedroom" that was the farthest from the stairs upstairs. I can remember one night in middle school watching a horror video and coming out of my room only to find all the lights were off, besides the light in my room, and I rushed as fast as humanly possible to the door leading to the stairs, which for some reason was also closed.
