Two Sentence Horror Story

Two Sentence Horror Story:

Two Sentence Horror Story

She sang the most beautiful songs you could imagine and brought everyone so much joy. Once her set was done, she went back stage to relax, unzipping her dress and then her skin.

About This “Two Sentence Horror Story”:

This is another response to Kevin’s No Theme Thursday prompts for this week. I was busy today and didn’t know what to write so his prompt images really came in handy. Do check them all out his site!

I’ve been meaning to write a two sentence horror story for quite some time now. They are quite popular on Reddit. At least in the part I frequent. And I found them to be very creative and fun to write so I thought I would try writing one of my own.

As for the story itself, I don’t generally write anything like this. I don’t generally write fantasy or anything even close to it. That’s one genre I don’t dabble in at all. Just not my thing. But I needed a twist for this story and this one seemed like the perfect one. So, do you think she’s an alien? A lizard person? Or perhaps a robot? Or she something else entirely? In my mind, I think she’s an alien. But that’s just me. Let me know in the comments what came to your mind when you read this story and whether you assumed she was an alien too.

Share your scariest two sentence horror story or stories in the comments below- I would love to read them. Or simply just stop by and say hi!

    Hmm reminds me of a show I watched last year, aliens taking over human bodies and identities. Scary side of this is that could possibly happen Ed Gin style. Or perhaps its just a mask she wears for fear of how others may see her as most famous people do, which is more of a metaphor than scary.

    Yes yes
    You needed a twist 🤭

    Only you could make such interpretation with this lovely image.

    Love it tho ❤️😄

    My interpretation is:

    She’s hiding pain and agony under that voice and make-up.
    To be everyone’s favourite, she has to sacrifice a lot.
    She’s even hiding the pain she get at home (domestic violence).
    Music sets her free, even if it’s for while.

    It reminds me of Maïwenn Le Besco as the Diva Plavalaguna(partially sung by Mula-Tchako) in the Movie The Fifth Element (1997) with Bruce Willis. She was hiding the “fifth element” inside her body and they had to tear it out. I don’t remember anything else about the movie.

    If you will play I will kiss your tune lips ’cause anything goes when slinking down your keyboard, tickling doleful note doodles, plinking your chords, caressing pianissimo, bopping forte, top a’ ya board, chording love accolades, staying for improvisations when cool mistys get hot. I shall be cool when you transpose the glory keys to high toned harmony that sees me exposed with whistling kisses blown all sax-ified, but that’ll be later after your sweaty performance when we shall go to the showers where we shall install a froth of warmth above a soapy love, meeting by the steamy wall where flights of fancy are never scrubbed but played out with fragrant soap in tribute to a love we’ve had ever since I’d been a mere calf and you’d been shy, knee high to a love like a soap opera sung in April showers if only you wouldn’t die from the poison.

    The psychic woman had showed her rough seas ahead in blood and fish guts, said beware the tides and flowing kisses, but that seemed like shallow waters to her as she drank, her thick handkerchief mopping up her eyes, highly high on her trumpeted mope, slipping on her poor spilled cocktail of his love kisses lost crawling across the stage where she was to sing beige before a sea of mahogany tables over drunks and hecklers, sticky stinky, beckoning bass strings plucking her heart, blubbering woe tales wagging about him, the bragging whale who blew his spout and left her high and dry to go out on the high seas, always jealous even away, but seeing her collapsing, I could not bear her despair, rose to say, “I have always loved you,” and we all stood, hecklers and all, to beg a last song before the massacre. On stage, she knew me at last in a kiss, me, the little one, then she, turning from beige to blue, caressing the mike, rasped in weeping harmonies, “Stand for me, the stood-up one, to sail me to the Port, wine me down mellow, me, a cello solo, singing this tale,” but that night of hell, we were all swimming in blood when returning, he shot her with a harpoon gun and gutted us all with his fishing knives to fulfill the curse of the Neptune serial killer.

    Well, on first glance it’s a story about a creature that is not human but entertains humans. I guess it’s creepy, but maybe the motive is positive. She can’t please her audience unless she resembles them. Which might say more about us. Certainly concise and creative. I hope you’re having a pleasant weekend, Pooja.

    “and then her skin.” Yooo. :-O This niche/motif in the horror genre has always freaked me out.

    On some more reflection, I cannot decide if skin with a zipper reduces the horror (because it’s like a costume) or increases it (because it’s a *skin* costume.)
