Please share a 1000 word short horror story.

Phone rings. Dead voice speaks. This is really terrifying. When you hear the phone ring, you expect a normal call. But then a voice that doesn't belong to the living comes through. It makes you wonder about the boundary between the living and the dead, and what could be on the other side trying to communicate.

In the forest, a howl that wasn't a wolf.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She found a magic key. It opened a door to a secret garden. There were beautiful flowers and friendly fairies. She played with them all day. It was her best day ever.

In the abandoned house, I found a diary. The last entry said 'They're here'. Then I heard scratching at the door.

There was a cursed forest where no one dared to go at night. A group of friends thought they were brave enough to camp there. As night fell, strange noises started. They huddled around the fire. One of them went to pee a little distance away. He didn't come back. The others went to look for him. In the dark, they saw a figure that looked like their friend, but his eyes were all white. It let out a blood - curdling scream. They ran in different directions. Only one managed to escape the forest. He was haunted by the memory forever.

In a desolate old house, a young woman was staying alone for the night. Every creak of the floorboards made her heart race. As she lay in bed, she heard a soft scratching at the window. Peering out, she saw a shadowy figure. It started to bang on the glass. She ran to lock the bedroom door but the handle turned by itself. The figure entered, its face a void of darkness. She screamed but no sound came out. Suddenly, she woke up. But the figure was still there, standing over her bed. It was then she realized this was no dream.

Once upon a time in an old, dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of town, there lived a lonely old woman. Every night, strange noises echoed through the halls. One evening, a young couple got lost and sought shelter there. As they entered, the door slammed shut behind them. They explored the rooms filled with dusty portraits. In the attic, they found a locked chest. When they opened it, a cold wind blew out and a ghostly figure of a child appeared. It wailed and chased them through the dark corridors. They finally managed to break a window and escape, but the horror of that place would haunt them forever.

There was an old, creaky house at the end of the lane. One night, a young girl named Lily was dared by her friends to enter it. As she pushed open the door, a cold wind blew. The rooms were filled with a thick, musty smell. She heard strange scratching noises coming from upstairs. Trembling, she climbed the stairs. In one of the rooms, she saw a shadowy figure. It seemed to be reaching out for her. Lily screamed and ran out of the house, never to be the same again.

Here are some: 'All teeth, no gums.' 'Bedroom, not alone.' 'Footsteps in attic.'

There was a dark attic. A girl heard strange scratching. She climbed the ladder. In the dim light, a pair of red eyes stared. She froze. Then a cold hand grabbed her ankle. Screaming, she was dragged into the blackness. Never to be seen again.
