Writing is a real art form.  Its said, get your point across as fast as you can.  That’s just what happened on July 23, 2013 when reddit user justAnotherMuffledVo posted the first Two Sentence Ghost Story.

“I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.”

It quickly gained popularity and was shared on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and other social media sites.  And people added to it.  Here’s a sample.

From KnowsGooderThanYou

From jmperson

The last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 12:07 before she pushed her long rotting nails through my chest, her other hand muffling my screams.

I sat bolt upright, relieved it was only a dream, but as I saw my alarm clock read 12:06, I heard my closet door creak open.

From CakeIsAMeme
