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]"

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.
