Lemmy Scare You! A community for sharing short scary stories.

1276 readers
1 users here now

Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.

Rules are simple:

  1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
  2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
  3. Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
  4. Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
  5. Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
  6. Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

Tell him to hold the handrail. Those steps are wood, they're pretty slippery. And if that guy has any fuzz on the bottoms of his feet, he could have a bad fall. And if I'm home alone I may not have the strength to help him if he gets injured.

I'm a thirty five year old man and sometimes I still go up the stairs on all fours like some sort of crazed stair goblin

If they're nice, we chill.

If they're just trying to be a dick, some fingers are getting stepped on. Oops.

Think "where this stairs came from?". I don't have a basement.

Just say "thank God it's over. I dont have to do this anymore"

My house doesn't have stairs. I'm clearly not at home. This is probably the homeowner coming to ask me what the hell I'm doing in his house. I have no answer, but I apologize and leave. Since I don't drink or take drugs, I'm thinking I'd better get my house checked for gas leaks.

Oh fucking come on. Really? I'm so tired of this bullshit. Seriously I'm done. I'm gonna beat you till I'm bored.

Edit: that post is like "alright, Ice exists, dhs exists, CBP exists. Fuck you demon. I'm just sick of this shit and I'm gonna kill you because I'm just not scared, and sick of the bullshit."

Here boy! You want the ball? Go get the ball boy! *makes throwing motion* Go get it!

And add a sense of betrayal to its monstrous hunger!?!

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Wonder where the other 13 are.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

ask if he wants a paw rub

or a penis lick

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

It's just a phase. He'll be fine in the morning

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 1 week ago

Sit with it and ask what it needs.

Ask him if he’s heard of Man with a Mission. Japanese rock band. Rarely if ever seen without their wolf helmets. Like a furry version of Daft Punk. But rock. Look up the song My Hero, or Memories to get an idea. Or Merry Go Round, the song they did for My Hero Academia.
