As I walked through the woods in autumn, I admired the falling leaves, their colors swirling like a final, graceful dance.
But when I looked closer, I saw that the leaves weren’t leaves at all—they were delicate, dried skin, peeling from faces hidden in the trees, each one watching me with hollow, hungry eyes.

Your submission in /r/TwoSentenceHorror was automatically removed because you don’t have 10 karma.
They always said you will receive KARMA for your bad deeds, but why is my KARMA still 0, when I have already have killed 10.

Sitting in my cell for the first time, I listened to my inmate incessantly scratching.
Maybe nutrition won't be so hard to come by in here, I told myself, as the blood seeped through the mattress of his bunk bed into my mouth.

I used to think I was the last human left.
This false belief allowed the soon-to-be last human to grievously injure me by stabbing me in the back.

After the first few months of dating I had completely tuned out the soft tongue clicks he made, tho he would still apologise.
But as they echo down the neverending cement hallways, slowly drilling into my head, I worry it might be the last thing I ever hear.
09:08 UTC
As I looked in the mirror, I saw the man who tried to kill me last night.
It was a normal mirror, and I was alone.
08:36 UTC
I joked with my family that because I was born breech and umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, I could see the dead.
When I described the man with the cloak and the broad rimmed hat, my brother looked at me and asked, "Isn't he always in black?"
08:27 UTC
I used to be afraid to go down into the basement alone at night.
But after chaining the pizza guy down there l'm able to go down at any time now.

[NOV24] I cried as they punish me for trying "Jogurt" by stuffing my stomach with foul tasting grain.
The sweetness of "Jogurt" can be tasted when I vomited it all back up to be sold as an increasing popular delicassian for the rich elite.

I didn't know why the rain was salty
Until I saw the sky blink
07:02 UTC
As the chef leaned in and told me the secret ingredient, my heart sank.
But I can't tell you what he said.

Rate?
The bombing was finally over, abnd we could leave after 3 days in the bunker...
But then the siren rang for the last time.
05:46 UTC
The first thing I heard when I opened my eyes to complete blind darkness,
Was the sounds of several people eating with their mouths open.
05:42 UTC
I contacted the hitman, telling him to cancel the plan to kill my husband.
Sneaking up behind him and tickling him right as he's about to swallow a vitamin worked out just fine.
05:36 UTC
I felt immense pain as I stabbed myself with an arrow of my creation at home and regretted doing something harmful to myself which could result in my death.
However, as I tell the town magistrates that a Indian raided my house and shot me, I remember that my pain will be worth it because the local tribe will be annihilated by the Royal Army in time for me to grab the fertile land they reside on.

God came down and finally revealed himself, then a health bar appeared above his head

There is nothing in your closet, under your bed, or outside your window so go to sleep!
I bite my tongue to keep from saying for we are legion!

"Cousin?"
I found a strange USB in the park and plugged it into my PC while my cousin cooked dinner. The video showed him in my room, facing the floor, as he slowly sank into the concrete—and just before he disappeared, the screen flickered, and a voice whispered, "dinners here"
03:35 UTC

03:33 UTC
my dick usually is 2 inches long.
today it shrunk and i can't see it.
03:32 UTC
i woke up as a dog.
my neighbor is a zoophile.

"It's a shooting star, so make a wish," my son said as a blaze of fire was soaring through the sky.
But when I noticed the "star" was only getting bigger, my only wish was for salvation.
02:49 UTC
A cave sealed for 10000 years was found and excavated, with a heliocentric solar system carved along the walls inside.
Along with visages of squid-like monsters eating all the puny ships flying between the planets.
02:36 UTC
I don't know what's worse, getting the nuclear threat alert...
...or my boss telling me he still expects me to finish my shift before I can go say goodbye to my family.
02:31 UTC
My son told me he loves our new dog.
It wasn't until I saw the blood that I remembered he recently learned what "making love" means.
02:23 UTC
As the plane took off, she felt a rush of excitement, ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
She didn’t notice the maintenance crew still frantically waving on the ground below.
02:11 UTC
I rushed over as quickly as possible to the epipen lying on my kitchen table.
I then immediately called the police, as no one in my family has any food allergies.
02:09 UTC
I heard my son laughing and talking in his room alone, saying, “I can’t wait to see you again.”
He hasn’t been the same since we buried his twin last month.
02:08 UTC
My friends and family always told me I did weird things while sleepwalking.
You can only imagine the horror I felt when I woke up with a knife in my hand and the dismembered remains of my newborn son scattered throughout the room.
02:05 UTC
It made me furious when I heard that my son had been alive for 3 days while he was buried after being presumed dead.
'I knew I should've bought more bullets', I thought to myself.
