A 'vhs very horror story' might involve a VHS rental store where a particular tape is always returned with strange marks on it. When someone finally decides to watch it, they see disturbing scenes of a cursed town and then start to experience the same cursed events in their own lives.

Very short short stories are often concise. They usually focus on one main idea or event. For example, they might tell a brief encounter between two people that reveals something about human nature in just a few sentences.

A cat went to the vet. The vet asked, 'Is this cat male or female?' The owner said, 'Well, I think it's male because he's lifting up his leg when he pees.'

The vet said, 'She likes to show off she's been to the vet.' This is a light - hearted and funny story for kids with a bit of silly animal - related humor.
