Josh M says
The cursed mirror I bought at the estate sale reflected a distorted figure. I smashed it in terror, but the fragments still showed that grotesque form. Panicking, I ran outside, and in every puddle, window, and glass, that twisted reflection grinned back at me, beckoning me into its nightmarish world.

Josh M – Short but creepy enough to scare and sets the tone for a grisly tale,. It is hard to have only 50 words to do this kind of writing, but you have a great submission!

Tip tap, sounded the keys of the keyboard, as the writer frantically documented the images that had been ingrained in their mind through the evil force that now stood behind them. They would be released from this evil spell when the very last letter of the story was complete.
Marilou P says
Stranded in the dark, blue ocean, where the waves were raging, she swam for two days and two nights and her muscles were aching. A set of two piercing eyes approached her from behind – a creature that lurks is not a good sign. She screamed and then… she woke up.

Dinner plans for six had been banjaxed going on two weeks now. Rotten food covered the table. The stench of decaying corpse filled the air as flashing lightning revealed the Gremlin on the table, carefully studying the shotgun he had ripped off the wall in the den two weeks earlier.

Deep in the dark, moldy boiler room, sitting lifelessly on a shelf, is an old wooden marionette. The closest thing resembling life are its glass eyes, where you can see heartbreak…
…and unbridled rage.
The red glow from the boiler fire reflects in its eyes as they start to move.

Abraham looked through his telescope at the night sky and the universe beyond.
“Anything is possible,” he said.
He lowered the lens to the city. Miles away, down an alleyway, he saw a grotesque humanoid creature feeding on a woman. Then it looked at Abraham and hissed.
“Impossible!” Abraham exclaimed.
Ben Philibert says
The graverobber opened the casket of a random woman’s old skeletal corpse, removing the ring from her bony finger. He went home and gifted his wife with it. She happily went to bed wearing it that night.
The next morning, he found her dead. She looked exactly like the corpse.
