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

1248 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]"

Unfortunately we've had to talk to Henry several times about his unwelcome behaviour.

Aww look he's smiling. He's trying his best to be friendly. He probably knows the Forest quite well and probably would appreciate it if you turned off the blinding light

On the bright side he's very fuzzy, so he might be warm to hug 🤗
