About a year ago, Reddit user meiguess opened the door to the horrors that lurk in the minds of humanity by proposing submissions of horror stories – each only with two sentences.

Some of the results are truly epic:

• 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”. (Juan Ruiz)
• Growing up with cats and dogs, I got used to the sounds of scratching at my door while I slept. Now that I live alone, it is much more unsettling.
• My grandmother told me that it was a gift to see the angel of death in front of people’s houses, to know that he’d be collecting someone there soon. I thought it was a gift too, up until the day I began to see it in front of every house.
• My sister says that mommy killed her. Mommy says that I don’t have a sister.
• Don’t be scared of the monsters, just look for them. Look to your left, to your right, under your bed, behind your dresser, in your closet but never look up, she hates being seen.
• I can’t move, breathe, speak or hear and it’s so dark all the time. If I knew it would be this lonely, I would have been cremated instead.
• “I can’t sleep” she whispered, crawling into bed with me. I woke up cold, clutching the dress she was buried in.

And my own contribution:

“I am afraid I have an admission to make, my dear”, he confessed with one slow shake of his head as he knelt to place a hand upon her belly. “Human women rarely survive the birth of one of my little princes”.
