One Wild Night

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

I'll share one. I woke up in the middle of the night to a strange scratching at my window. I slowly turned my head to look, but all I could see was my own pale reflection. Then, the scratching stopped. A cold hand touched my shoulder. I dared not turn around.

She was alone in the old house. The floorboards creaked as she walked. Suddenly, she heard a faint whisper coming from the attic. Against her better judgment, she climbed the rickety stairs. In the attic, there was an old doll sitting in a corner. As she stared at it, the doll's eyes seemed to follow her. Then she heard the whisper again, this time it said her name. She ran out of the attic, but the door slammed shut behind her and she was trapped with that terrifying doll.

In scary one - paragraph horror stories, the atmosphere is crucial. A dark, foggy night or a cold, damp cellar creates an unnerving feeling. Then there's the idea of something being wrong or out of place. For instance, a picture on the wall that seems to change when you're not looking. Also, the presence of a threat, whether it's a physical danger like a murderer or an intangible one like a curse. All these elements work together to send shivers down the reader's spine.

They are effective because they create a sense of immediate dread. In just one paragraph, they can build tension and leave the reader with a feeling of unease that lingers. For example, a simple description of a strange noise in an empty room can make the reader's imagination run wild.

A third one. I was staying in a motel room on a long road trip. The room was dimly lit. I noticed the wallpaper was peeling. As I lay in bed, I heard scratching on the wall. I thought it might be a mouse at first. But the scratches got louder and more violent. I got up to look, but there was nothing there. When I turned back, the bedcovers were all messed up as if someone had been sitting there, and a cold hand brushed against my ankle.

A man was staying in a supposedly haunted hotel room. He heard strange noises all night. In the morning, he found out it was just the old radiator making those spooky sounds. Turns out the 'ghost' was just a creaky old heating system.

Another approach is to play with the senses. If the first paragraph sets a mood of unease, you can enhance it by describing an unidentifiable smell that gets stronger as the story progresses. Maybe it's a smell of death or something otherworldly. This makes the reader more immersed in the horror of the story as they can almost 'experience' what the character is going through.

I woke up in the middle of the night to a scratching sound at my window. I peeked through the curtain and saw a pale face with hollow eyes staring back at me. It vanished when I blinked. I told myself it was just a dream, but the scratches on the window were real in the morning.

One long horror story could be about an old, abandoned asylum. A group of friends decided to explore it at night. As they entered, the air was thick with a musty smell. The hallways were dimly lit by the faint moonlight seeping through the broken windows. Strange noises echoed around them, like the moans of long - dead patients. One of the friends saw a shadowy figure in the distance that seemed to glide rather than walk. As they moved deeper into the asylum, they found a room full of old, rusted medical equipment. Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind them, and they heard scratching on the other side. Panic set in as they tried to find a way out, but every corridor seemed to lead them further into the nightmarish place.

Story 1: I found myself in a deserted subway station late at night. The lights were flickering ominously. I walked along the platform, and the silence was deafening. Suddenly, I heard a faint scratching sound coming from the tunnel. I peered into the darkness, and a figure started to emerge. It was a pale, gaunt man with long, sharp nails. He started running towards me at an inhuman speed. Story 2: I was staying in a motel room on a long road trip. The room was cold and damp. As I was about to go to sleep, I heard a soft knocking on the door. I got up to check, but no one was there. When I went back to bed, the knocking started again, this time louder. I looked through the peephole and saw a woman with a blank expression just standing there. Then she slowly disappeared from view.
