Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.
Rules are simple:
- Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
- No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
- Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
- Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
- Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
- Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

What a sad development. My best friend's parents used to live miles outside of town. When we were teenagers we'd lay in the middle of the 2 lane road in front of their house and stargaze. Now they're surrounded by track homes, the road is 6 lanes with non-stop traffic, and there's a huge shopping complex across the street from their house. It's been great for their property value, but not good at all for the lifestyle they chose.
