Can you share some examples of scary one - word stories?

Another example is 'Eyes in the mist.' This gives an eerie feeling. The idea of seeing eyes in the mist is quite spooky as it makes you wonder what or who those eyes belong to. It could be something supernatural or a dangerous creature. And the mist adds to the mystery, obscuring the full view and making it more terrifying.

A child was home alone when the power went out. He lit a candle. In the flickering light, he saw a shadow on the wall that didn't match his own. It grew bigger and bigger. He ran to his room and hid under the bed. The shadow seemed to follow him. He closed his eyes and prayed until his parents came home.

My shadow had its own face.

Yes. Here is a 200 - word short story. There was a lonely tree in the middle of a large field. A bird once landed on it and decided to make a nest. As the days passed, more birds came.

Sure. 'She found a letter. It was from her long - lost friend. Memories flooded back. She smiled, tears in her eyes, and started to write a reply.'

The phone rang at night.

The doll's eyes blinked suddenly. I was just sitting in my room, minding my own business when out of the corner of my eye, I saw the doll on the shelf. Its eyes, which were always still before, blinked. I froze, not knowing what to do. It was like the doll had come to life, and who knew what it was planning. I was too scared to even move and get it out of my sight.

Sure. 'Darkness. Footsteps. Then silence.'

Walking through the cemetery at night, I felt a cold hand on my shoulder, but no one was there when I turned. This made me realize that there might be something unseen and terrifying lurking in the dark among the tombstones. The idea that there could be a presence that can touch but not be seen is truly spine - chilling.
