Can you share more good ideas for a short horror story?

Here's an idea. A young artist is struggling to find inspiration. One night, a strange figure appears in their dreams and offers them a paintbrush. When they wake up, they find the paintbrush beside their bed. As they start using it, the paintings they create seem to come to life, but with unexpected and sometimes dangerous consequences.

A story about a man who thinks he has superpowers because he can make his ears wiggle. He goes around the town trying to 'save' people with his 'amazing power', but all he does is make people laugh at his antics.

One idea could be a person walking alone in a forest at night. They hear strange whispers all around them. As they look around, they see pairs of eyes in the darkness. But when they shine their flashlight, there's nothing there.

A person wakes up one day to find that they are the only one left in the world. But they soon realize that there are other 'beings' that are invisible to the naked eye. They can only sense their presence by the cold drafts that pass through them and the strange marks that appear on their skin. These beings start to toy with the person, moving things around and whispering terrifying things in their ear.

A story about a group of kids who find a hidden door in their school basement. Behind the door is a world full of talking animals. They have to work together to find their way back home while also helping the animals solve a problem in their world.

One idea could be a person moving into a new house. Every night, they hear strange scratching noises coming from inside the walls. As they investigate, they find old, faded photos of a family that looks just like them but with sinister expressions. The scratches start to form words like 'leave' on the walls.

There could be a pirate who was cursed by a voodoo witch. Every time he tries to board a ship, it starts to sink. He has to find a way to break the curse by going on a quest to find a rare flower that only blooms on a specific island once every ten years. Meanwhile, his former crewmates think he's bad luck and try to hunt him down.

Another idea is a hero who is a street magician. One day, while performing on the street, he witnesses a crime. Instead of running away, he uses his magic skills - like illusions and sleight of hand - to confuse the criminals and save the victim. Later, he realizes he can use his magic for more than just entertainment and starts fighting crime in the city, using his unique skills to outwit the bad guys.

Sure. A student finds an old diary in the school library. The diary is filled with entries that seem to predict future events that are starting to come true in his own life. He tries to find out who the author of the diary was, but no one in the school has any knowledge of it. As he delves deeper, he starts to see a shadowy figure following him around the school.

A valuable painting goes missing from an art gallery. The detective finds a small piece of fabric on the frame that matches the clothes of one of the janitors. Upon further investigation, it turns out the janitor was blackmailed into stealing the painting by a rival art dealer.
