Two Sentence Horror

I bought a gun and have been searching for him frantically since I realized everyone else’s number in New York also fell down to 5 years.

I looked up through a sweat drenched brow to find the toilet paper roll was empty.

My headset chimed and “Passenger discomfort detected: - 10” sprawled across the screen in bold red.

After that, I’ll have to head to cryo and thaw nav officer Morgan next.

Thankfully, no one, not even my twin’s wife, has noticed the difference.

My drugged out body couldn’t even bite through the apple as I lied there helpless.

I nodded faintly as I tried to ignore the cold, unfamiliar fingers gently intertwining with my missing ones.

Now that that’s done, going down the list alphabetically, the next order of business is Draft.

All I need to do now is find someone in Ancient Sumer to sell me some good quality copper.

My population was getting demanding and I didn’t even have to bomb them myself.

At this point, it’s too late to do anything about it.

Please contact your sales representative within the 3 day grace period to re-activate your pacemaker.

It’s starting to get difficult to continue reading these files.

Bound, I watched his grin widen as he finally managed to match my handwriting.

She stared at her son in disbelief wondering where she had went wrong as the nauseating stench of the boys’ rotting corpse continued to fill his bedroom.

Feeling cold fingers gently squeeze her shoulders, she opened her eyes and saw the cross was now bare.

She closed her notebook, looked me dead in the eyes, and said in a child’s voice, “Thank you for finally letting me speak.”

The monkey’s paw curled, and while people praised him as the greatest castrato of all time, I felt myself disappearing.

But then just before losing consciousness she heard the doctor say: “Alright she’s out, bring in the gynaecology students.”

Sheriff Harrison swore up and down that he was done covering for me, but we both know who signs his paychecks.

After receiving a pig’s heart, he began to feel an attraction that no human should have.

I don’t pity the janitor who has to clean up his blood, but I suppose that’s the price you have to pay for innovation.

Then realized the live stream had been going non stop for the past five years.

The toilet seat is warm

You have to get through the first three arcs before it really gets going though.

Most of him will be released next week.

He didn’t said how.

I guess the soul bypasses the eyes to see once you “die” but how long am I going to be stuck looking at the inside of this box?

Moving the sheet, the doctor spoke to the class: “What we have here is a very atypical case: extreme brain hemorrhages, eyes blown out by blood pressure, and, most interestingly, his heart literally burst inside his chest.”

By the time he decided to go to the hospital, it was already too late for the man’s eye.

Seconds later, his dead corpse floated through space, reflecting in his lifeless wide open eyes the blue planet slowly approaching.

Being caught on its walls, the burrito could not rotate in the microwave.

I must have crossed the globe twice these past five days but I still can’t find a place where the camera doesn’t reply with ruins and bodies.

It spoke just three words, barely audible over the static—Don’t look up.

I wonder if they knew this when they buried my all-too-mortal and already half dead body into the landfill.

I’m not sure if it’s a testament to how tired we felt after such a hard day, or to how good this cheap bargain bin propane heater really is, but the kids and I quickly started to feel drowsy.

The man slowly remembered the acrid smell of the hunter first, and then was violently dragged through every desperate sprint, every scream cut short by teeth.

When the next day I saw that same enemy at a public event with thick bandages around his neck, I began to doubt that my usual precautions would keep me safe for long.

Now I’m just too scared to know why, far enough from my position, all the ambient sounds and colors fade away, and all the people are locked staring at the sky with their mouths wide open.

As i wake up screaming in the ambulance in my eye is still vivid the image of that pale light fading away and two immense, monolithic lines of teeth slowly closing in on me.

It was only after his son and wife was asleep, that the man was finally able to leave the room to fix the gag of his little “guest” in the secret chamber below the house.

Leaning his claws toward the chamber, the oldest engineer slowly spoke: “Once again their flesh will be our nutrient and their screams our ecstasy”.

The last words of humanity.

When I woke up, I thought it had all been a simple dream until my half-rotted hand struck the coffin lid.

They are all moving away from me.

I felt my distended stomach fall the moment my eyes fixed on the bloody mass on the floor, and I whistled for Snowball through fur-caked teeth.

The millions of iterations we ran, frantically trying to find the source of the extinction event, were actually its cause.

“Living forever sounds cool,” the other replied softly, “but are you sure squirrels can turn you, like bats do?”

When the unnatural rythm peaked and red smoke poured from the sistine chapel, the stunned prayers turned to screams.

Instead, I should ask “Why the humans and animals resemble demons so much?”.

Today, it glitched, leading me to remember all 11,418 failed attempts to stop the apocalypse along with the truth that the actual start date of it predates my jumps.

It’s only after he slipped me a calmant and dragged me to a tub full of ice that I realized he only planned to bring the vital parts of me.

It was already too late when the research team chief crashed inside the control room screaming “It’s an eyelid!! An Eyelid!!!”

I stepped over his corpse blocking the doorway and saw another steel reinforced door with a keypad at the end of the corridor.

The panspermia vessel was to break up low in the atmosphere as to maximise soul and bacterial propagation.

Unfortunately, it also took us 4.2 years to receive the message explaining that the far end of the portal had broken.

But as I watched the test subject’s fingers split apart, each one growing into a perfect replica of his hand, I realized we had made a terrible mistake.

How they picked all the flesh from my leg leaving my bones clean.

But when I woke up this morning, my sheets were soaked in a thick, yellow fluid, and the hole where the lump had been was still twitching.

But today, my hand moved on its own, writing feverishly of colossal beings slumbering beneath forgotten stars, waiting patiently for me to open a door I never knew existed.

It got worse the next day when I found every portrait now bearing the same haunting mark.

When she finally came to bed to spoon and apologize, again, we fit together oddly because she was now a foot too long.

Halfway down the airplane aisle, he realized she was saying it with a “B” as she burst out of the bathroom and people started to panic.

I’ve NEVER mentioned the ring to him before.

“Goddammit, I’m just happy it isn’t us,” I said while watching big gouts of flame and smoke lick up the opposite tower.

Aghast, as I was forced to watch it greet and kiss my wife, I realized the mindwear virus was probably meant for an assassination at an awards show I’m scheduled to attend in nine months.

I started to suspect that “Geiger Counter” was not old German for “Gold Collector”, as he had said.

The venture failed and a hundred thousand people disappeared.

“However, a still sufficiently discernable pattern of ludditery and synthetic prejudice remains to trigger the Cyprus Doctrine, under which punishment is mandatory” droned on the artificial magistrate.

At three in the morning, I woke to my wife screaming and only then realized I was hunched over his empty crib.

“Hopefully, this takes it all down with me” he said while looking at his younger self in the scope.

Clutching a shovel, she led the other one into the night, crushing his glasses in her fist as they walked.

Thankfully, he has good insurance and long-term body rentals are cheap since they redefined what could constitute “serving a sentence.”

Her crush smiled gently, spun the cylinder of his father’s revolver, and placed it softly into her hands.

Thankfully, I was smart enough to make the upgrade permanent just before the effect wore off.

Then he handed him back his sword and pointed toward the mosque.

He left this solar system a long time ago, and now it feels like the butterflies are trying to claw their way out.
