So there's apparently a trend recently of posting a story in two sentences or less. Reddit, in particular, has its thread of two-sentence horror stories. So I thought it might be fun to see what the twisted minds of FQA could come up with. I'll start.
---
When I was a kid, there was SOMETHING invisible in my room that would lift my dresser drawer and drop it, "clink!", if I stayed up too late. I'd forgotten all about it until my front door's knocker began knocking itself on clear, windless nights.
(The first sentence is actually true, though it was only in one particular house. I still have that dresser, and it had never happened before or since)

You know that sensation like a cold, icy finger on the back of your neck that lets you know you're being watched?
You should.

My girlfriend walked into the living room quietly. When I turned from my book to look at her, she said, "I'm pregnant."
-
I walked into my son's room, holding his hand. There he was on the bed.
I woke up and spat blood. It floated.
Waking, I realized I was in a coffin, underground, and began to scream. A hand reached over my mouth to silence me.
I sat on my chair, typing away. Suddenly, I felt two hands, one on each ankle.
I woke up and tossed my red sheats off me. As I became less groggy, I realized they were white when I went to bed.
When I awakened, I found I had been holding my daughter's hand. I don't know where the rest of her is.
Turning, I cuddled up to my wife before remembering that she died in childbirth.
I looked out the window and watched the forest. One of the trees ran.
I awoke, my eyes still swollen shut from the accident a few days ago, feeling my girlfriend's breath on my face while she held me. The toilet then flushed.
I awoke, my dog licking my face. Too bad I don't have a dog.
-
These all sound like really bad jokes to me. I can't take them seriously at all. I think you need more than 2 sentences to make a horror story.

I saw some good ones on Reddit, but these...no offense, but telling a scary story at all is kind of a rare talent.

What?
-
Girlfriend wasn't in bed with him. She was the one that flushed the toilet.

If a pregnant girlfriend isn't terrifying, I don't know what is.
-
Terrifying to experience, not so much to read about.
-

I thought they were on the toilet. Like, he fell asleep taking a shit, & his girlfriend is really weird. Or maybe someone broke into his house & shat in his bathroom. I don't even know.
-
I meant it to be taken as the gf wasn't in bed.

I dunno if it's my insomnia, but that post just made me haha like hell.

Guess how many times I've taken your car for a joyride and you never noticed? Here's a hint; it's more than fifteen.
-
Perry/Bachmann win the 2016 Presidential Election!
(I don't think I need two sentences for that. One is horrifying enough!)
-
As you read this, I know you're there. And I know he's right behind you.
-
Side effects: May cause anal leakage.
-
Nuclear attack by North Korea on South Korea and Japan. America to retaliate.
-
Don't turn around. It'll only hurt for a second.
-
Damn. Not deep enough.
9Okay, in retrospect, that could fit two different genres.)

Reminds me of this guy:

So you check the other side of the shower curtain every few minutes? Should be checking every few seconds.
Hear a creek outside of your bedroom door. Probably just the house settling.
Ready for a midnight snack when you hear a noise? Don't worry, it's just me getting your plate.
Definitely not ripping off Horrifying House Guests that I've read.

She got to see her own funeral. The coffin was made of glass.
They unlocked the door to find a teddy bear on one side of the room and a freshly-chewed corpse on the other.
Why are you so selfish? I'm only burying you alive because I love you.
Aunt Gertude once again told us of when they drowned her as a witch. Four hundred years ago.
-
Karen had a nasty looking bruise on her ribs. So, I just ate around it.
It's not that candy corn looks like teeth. It's the other way around.
I found a threatening note stuck to my dresser with a knife. Poor Gladys; she always knew what colors flattered me most.
Hey, thanks for the ride! Stay still and this gasoline won't splash in your eyes so much.
Mama always told her boys only wanted one thing. She didn't know that one thing was her blood.

My daughter won't stop crying and screaming in the middle of the night. I visit her grave and ask her to stop, but it doesn't help.
I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.”
I kiss my wife and daughter goodnight before I go to sleep. When I wake up, I’m in a padded room and the nurses tell me it was just a dream.
After struggling desperately to move any part of his paralytic body just to alert the doctors that he was conscious before they made the first incision, he was relieved to see that one of the nurses had noticed his pupils dilating from the bright light. She leaned in close and, in a whisper that tickled his ear, said "you think we don't know you're awake?"

A couple of my friends will be staying with us for a couple of weeks. They're both hardcore bronies.

The last man on earth sits alone in a room. Suddenly there is a knock on the door.
-
I don't know why daddy said mommy had to go to heaven and be an angel. Look daddy, she's right there!
I awoke with something furry on my chest, purring. It was a few seconds before I realized I don't have a cat.
It'll only hurt for a second, I promise. There, that wasn't- oh god.
-
Not to make you think you're being watched, but look over your shoulder. No, your other shoulder.
-
Once upon a time there was a very tasty pie. It couldn't be eaten.
-
Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died (the end).
-
Went to Lavender Town, heard the music. Decided to stay.

Palin/Nugent won. Idiocracy becomes a documentary.
-
I woke up in a very comfortable bed, this morning. Wait...this isn't my room.
-
drop your pants. burn the seeds away.

Hearing a baby's laughter is one of the best sounds you can hear, supposedly. Unless it's 3am, there isn't a baby in your house, or anywhere near you.
I woke up to a message on my computer from a long lost friend timestamped today. I was at his funeral five years ago.
I woke up to someone stroking my hair. Too bad I was alone in the room.
-
Clear night sky, no stars.

My pastor came up with this one for a pre-service Bible study one Sunday:
One day, Lazarus suddenly died and went to heaven. A few days later, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.
-
I'm sure this castle isn't haunted. I've lived here my whole life - all 800 years!
I wake up to the sound of my brother shouting and banging things in the next room. You'd think he'd stop acting like a five-year-old at some point, but I guess being dead doesn't give that many opportunities to mature.
-
Oh shit! The condom broke.
You ate my muffin? Goddamnit, you owe me a new box of laxatives.
-
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

Too fucking far, man.
-
What would my grandmother say if she were alive today? Probably "Help! Get me out of this box!"

Strexcorp Synergiests Inc. Believe in a smiling godTM.

Sometimes, I think the rosebushes would look nicer with a clipping. Of course, most roses don't look like eyeballs.

She was a tall, leggy blonde. Her name was Ann Coulter.

Sandra is my favourite old friend from high school, we used to get along so well. So I decided to keep her in my cellar.
People tell me I have problems. The only problem I have is playing with my toys for too long - I always break them.
I truly do love my girlfriend. I believe she's the fourteenth so far, I keep the others in my garage.
My little teddy bear is such a nice little fellow. He does all the killing for me.
You know how most people hate clowns? I love them - cuz I hired one to kill my worst enemy.
I know its slightly fattening, but I love Mexican food. Tonight, I just need to find the right Mexican...
Chopping up meat for my little sister to eat has always been a chore. Good thing the new meat struggles a bit - more fun that way.
With my father out of the house, I need to be the man of the household. Yes mother, I'm coming to bed.
I kill and stuff squirrels a certain way to make stuffed animals. I give them to my friends - have they noticed the blood and mucus yet?
There's nothing quite as satisfying as looking down at a fresh creation. SOMEONE had to make something with those rabid dog corpses...
I was really drunk last night and slept with what I saw as a large, beautiful woman. I woke up the next morning next to Rush Limbaugh.

Truly horrifying.
I don't care if she has video, that's not me. You can tell because I don't hold knives that way.
-
Just one sentence, but it's a doozy: "It seems we're the last two people on earth, m'lady."
