Challenge
Write a horror story in two sentences.
“The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...”---Stephen King
Roadside
Traffic slowed, and halted. Travelers began exiting vehicles, shielding their eyes from sun, and straining to see ahead. The family joined onlookers at the roadside. Her daughter cartwheeling, her son examining rocks, Mom gazed down at the traffic. She turned back to the children. They were gone.
