this is a subreddit where you post two-sentence horror stories. the idea is to post a generally innocuous first sentence, followed by the true creepy plot twist in the second sentence. its a pretty difficult task so most of them are hilariously bad, with adjectives clumsily stuffed into the first sentence to set the scene like a contrived joke.

in this OP i select a few from the front page but i invite you to post your own itt

here is one which has 2826 upvotes:
My daughter was never good at hide-and-seek, always shouting "Here I am!" whenever the seeker was nearby.

This is why I had to smother her when the Nazis came calling.

1434 upvotes:
My friend showed me a gore video that he said was absolutely disgusting.

I tried to fake some emotion as I had already seen it before, but in person

17.2k upvotes:
"Finally, I have the house to myself.", the boy said when he threw himself on the couch.

Pinocchio's dread grew as fast as his nose did when the words left his mouth

 
I was beyond pissed off with my husband as he started claiming to be suffering from sympathy pains during my pregnancy, as he always has to be the center of attention.
It was only as I watched the baby crawl out the tip of his penis, that I realized how far he was willing to take this
 
My favorite I've found:

I always absentmindedly pet my cat when I watch T.V., feeling it purr in my lap, and looking up at me for kisses.

Except tonight, at commercial break, I noticed it wasn't purring so I looked at its eyes and could see a shadowy figure it was staring at outside, directly behind me.
 
"His muffled screams made my whole body tingle with sexual ecstasy."
"'And this little piggy stayed at home,' I said, bringing the hammer crashing down on his second toe."

"When offered the chance to see all the times I've almost died, of course I took it."
"As the scenes progressed from my infancy through to now, I couldn't help but notice the same strange man in all of them."
10.3k upvotes btw

"“It’s okay, let it all out” I comforted my son, my hands cradling his wet face as he sobbed."
"I watched helplessly as his tears began to run red with chunks of flesh falling out of every hole in his face until all I was holding was his deflated skin hung loosely around bones."

"[JAN22] I love trolling people on the Internet and laughed to myself as I told someone to come to my house and fight me if he dared"
"I cursed my stupidity for inadvertently inviting it inside, as it sunk it's fangs into my throat"

""The house isn't breathing, it's settling," my husband told me."
"He still can't explain how the walls bleed, though."

"I used to love spending nights looking up at the moon"
"But it looked less beautiful as it came hurtling towards Earth"

"When I was younger, I used to draw on people when they were asleep"
"The habit stopped when my I saw my grandads face scribbled over with pen in his casket"

"I asked my friend why he was so obsessed with murders around our city"
"He said ”I’m just impressed by my handiwork”"

this subreddit sucks i love it
 
I typed out my reply to the discord message with glee, proud of my witty joke.

But then I saw the warning emoji reactions on my message because I had posted it in #the-void

Edit: thanks for the likes!

the year is 2008 and i’m a doe-eyed, excited new talent ready to work for the newly revitalized unscripted entertainment sector, optimistic about the future of television and the opportunities that working for brilliant, energized talking heads will offer both me and my career.

an oompa loompa walks through the door and says “hi, welcome to Celebrity Apprentice.”

the oompa loompa in question was the executive producer and host of Celebrity Apprentice (2008), Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, which is why it, naturally, would be horrifying to find yourself on the other side of an interview.

"thank you so much", exclaims faint as i give him his birthday gift.

"gerne geschehen" i reply, evilly

my reply indicates that i am a german speaker and "gift" in german means "poison". so when faint was thanking me for the gift he was actually thanking me for the POISON that i have given him (he will die or get very ill)

A young poster walks up to a group of people, casually smiling, and asks, "howdy fellas, anyone know where I can post 'round here?"

The young poster immediately feels the shift in mood as the leader of the group slowly walks over to his bat, gently picking it up, before responding, "posters aren't allowed in these here parts, boy..."

This Pulitzer prize winning scene serves as meta-commentary to the culture that was prevalent across the United States, particularly in the south, during slavery and Jim Crow era time periods. The young poster is analogous to a Black man, simply asking a harmless question, with of course the group taking on the role of a group of racist white men. Their response to the young poster is similar to the commonly used phrase "your kind," establishing what they see as the "other," and suggesting the area they're in is "free" of those "people" [sic] due to their actions actions. The bat serves as a symbol for hate, suggesting that they unfortunately will not let the poster walk away peacefully, but will instead beat him with the aforementioned bat, endlessly, until his remains are left to a pulp.
 
“Okay Larry, for this underwater scene, Julia will be pretending to drown, but will hold up three fingers when she needs air.”

“Okay Julia, if you need air during your underwater scene, just wave your hands, and Larry will hand you the scuba mask.”
