Lemmy Scare You! A community for sharing short scary stories.

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:

  1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
  2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
  3. Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
  4. Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
  5. 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]
  6. Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

Are you aware that you have cats now?

[โ€“] nocturne@piefed.social 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And I think we need updates.

I think you'll get a pretty clear idea of where this is going if you look closer at the photo.

The first harbingers of the spooky season have arrived!

Are we just ignoring the haunted faces?

[โ€“] notabot@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

I think you have to face it, now you have cats. You should definitely head into the woods at night and get into the spirt of it, or they might ghost you, and the decision will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Kitten will protect you from the faces

I hope they can protect us from this thing too.

[โ€“] Morph9@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Lovely cats.

[โ€“] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Those kittens want to adopt you. Bring them home.

@ekZepp@lemmy.world

In all those horror stories, it's always a cat appearing out of nowhere before it happens. They say "dogs are humans' best friends", because cats are entities's best friends (sometimes, their very materialization before they morph into their true forms). Care must be taken of these little Eldritch entities, because they're quite hungry and they love to eat souls. Lucky you they're not The Owl (or aren't they?)

Better get those kittens some saucers of milk and their mittens, or all hell will break loose.
