Tell me a short horror story.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She lived in an old, creaky house at the edge of the woods. One night, as she was about to go to sleep, she heard a strange scratching at her window. She peeked through the curtain and saw a pair of glowing red eyes. Too scared to move, she hid under her blanket. The scratching continued all night long, and she could hear a low growl. In the morning, the scratching stopped, but when she looked out the window, there were deep claw marks on the sill.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She lived in an old, creaky house at the edge of a dark forest. One night, as she was about to go to sleep, she heard a strange scratching at her window. She peeked out, but saw nothing but the inky blackness. Then, a cold wind blew through the room, making the candles flicker. Suddenly, a pair of glowing eyes appeared in the corner. Lily screamed, but when she blinked, the eyes were gone. That night, she huddled under her covers, too afraid to move until morning came.

Once upon a time, in a desolate old house, a girl heard strange scratching noises at night. She peered into the darkness but saw nothing. As she lay back down, a cold hand touched her ankle. She screamed and fumbled for the light. When it came on, there was a doll, its eyes now black, grinning at her from the foot of the bed.

I woke up in the middle of the night. There was a figure at the foot of my bed. Its eyes glowed red. Then it vanished. I couldn't sleep again.

I woke up in the middle of the night. The room was pitch - black. Then I heard a soft whisper right next to my ear, but no one was there. Scared the life out of me.

Late at night, I was in the forest. I heard a howl that didn't sound like any normal animal. I started running, but I could feel something chasing me. I tripped over a root and fell. When I looked up, a large, shadowy creature was looming over me. I closed my eyes, waiting for the worst, but when I opened them again, it was gone. I don't know if I just imagined it or if it was something truly terrifying that decided to spare me.

The old house was silent. Then I heard a child's laugh from the attic where no one should be.

I woke in the dark. A cold hand touched my face. I saw a shadow. Then, silence. I never saw the morning again.

Once, a girl fell in love with a boy she met in an old, abandoned house. They shared sweet moments there. But one night, she noticed his eyes glowed red in the dark. She found out he was a spirit bound to the house, doomed to lure people in love to stay forever. She ran, heartbroken, leaving behind the love that was never meant to be.

Once upon a time, Sarah was walking alone in the old cemetery at midnight. The moon was hidden by dark clouds. As she passed a mausoleum, she heard a faint scratching sound from inside. Her heart raced as she saw a pale hand reaching out from the cracked door. Without thinking, she ran. But every step she took, she could feel cold breath on her neck. Suddenly, she tripped over a fallen tombstone and when she looked up, a shadowy figure was looming over her.
