Really Short Horror Stories

Hallucinations

I keep seeing him out of the corner of my eye. He was always there, watching.

Looking for the right time to strike.

I've performed a cleansing ritual in my house, but it just seemed to make the whole thing worse.

Before, he was emotionless, staring blankly at me as if deep in thought. Now, he's smiling. That wide grin that seemed to stretch from ear to ear made me somehow uncomfortable.

Then I saw this note on my fridge one morning.

To my dearest roommate,

Tell them about me. Then you will be free.

Your roommate from Hell

I haven't seen him lately. If you see him, I'm very sorry about it.  

Here's some advice.

Don't talk to him.

Don't look directly at him.

Do not do anything to make him frown.
