My Top 5 Two-Sentence Horror Stories

I’ve been somewhat addicted to writing two-sentence horror stories over the past couple years. I don’t even spend time trying to come up with them though. They just pop into my head (usually when I’m half asleep) and I make a note of them if I’m not too tired, in which case they disappear into the abyss, never to return. I’ve only had a couple blow up where people really liked them, but I enjoy writing even the ones that are duds.

Below, I’ll share some of my best stories, which I’ve mainly published on the subreddit r/TwoSentenceHorror (and you can find my rejected stories at r/TwoSentenceRejects).

For the record, I’m not very good at Reddit in general, but I still find a way to enjoy it.

Have you ever noticed that some people don’t drink water?
I truly believe it’s how you can tell who’s one of them, and it gives me the creeps.

They always say that you should “write what you know.”
Well, if this horror novel is gonna be any good, I guess I better get to killin’ some folk.
