What are some examples of '2 line ghost stories'?

Well, here's an example. 'The attic was silent. I climbed the ladder, and a cold hand grabbed my ankle.' Also, 'The mirror was fogged. I wiped it, and a face that wasn't mine stared back.' These two - line horror stories create a sense of dread in just a few words. They rely on setting up a spooky situation quickly and leaving the reader to imagine the worst. For instance, in the first one, being trapped in an old house with no way out is a classic horror trope. And in the second, the unknown entity in the attic adds an element of mystery and fear.

One example could be 'I heard a knock at the door. When I opened it, no one was there but I felt a cold hand on my shoulder.'

One could be 'The old house stood alone. Strange noises came from within.'

Here's another: 'The old doll sat on the shelf. Its eyes followed me. I turned off the light. In the dark, it giggled softly.'

One success story could be a woman who initially had a very faint line on a pregnancy test. As days passed, the line got progressively darker. She took care of herself, had regular check - ups, and in the end had a healthy pregnancy and baby. It was a sign that the pregnancy hormones were increasing steadily, which is a great indication of a successful pregnancy journey starting from that faint line.

One classic opening line could be 'It was a dark and stormy night, and the old house at the end of the lane seemed to beckon me.'

A good one is 'The little girl saw a butterfly. She chased it all day.' It's easy for kids to understand and imagine.

A little duck lost its way. A kind frog showed it the pond. This teaches kids about kindness.

A lame ghost story might be one where the characters don't react realistically to the presence of a ghost. For example, in a story, a person sees a ghostly apparition in their bedroom but instead of being terrified or trying to figure out what's going on, they just go back to sleep as if it's no big deal. This lack of proper reaction and the overall lack of depth in the story make it a rather lame ghost story.

One example could be 'The Puffy Chair'. It has elements of mumblecore with its naturalistic dialogue and indie feel, and there could be a sense of a 'ghost' in the form of unresolved relationship issues that haunt the characters, much like a traditional ghost might haunt a place.
