The Stare

The Stare is a creepy story about a girl who takes the subway one night.

A girl was sitting on the subway late one night. She noticed that the woman sitting across from her was staring intensely at her. The woman was sitting between two old men. The girl kept looking away, but the woman wouldn't break eye contact with her. The stare was beginning to freak the girl out.

At the next stop, a new passenger got on. It was a tall man in a grey trenchcoat. He sat down next to the girl.

The woman paid no attention to the man in the trenchcoat. She just kept staring at the girl, who was getting more and more creeped out a time went on. The two old men didn't even glance in her direction. She pretended not to notice, but each time she glanced at the strange woman, the stare continued.

When the train was pulling into the next stop, the man in the trenchcoat got up to leave. Suddenly, he grabbed the girl's arm tightly, and as the doors opened, he dragged her off the train.

The subway doors shut, and the train pulled off, leaving the girl alone on the platform with the man in the trenchcoat. She started screaming for help.

"Calm down," said the man. "I just saved your life. I didn't mean to scare you, but I had to get you off that train. The woman sitting opposite you was dead, and the two men beside her were propping her up."
