What scares you the most?
For me it's zombies and possessed children because they can give the impression of being so innocent, you never see it coming.
Point. K pick the scary subject, have it kill two victims or panic, and then have your main role defeat it.
So John was a normal boy until sooner or later this zombie popped out of the trees and tried to eat him! Luckily he got away, but the next afternoon he heard that so and so was eaten alive! so he did some research (add details) Found out that (add details) and later the next day someone else was eat (add details) He found the missing piece to destroying the zombie, it was cutting his head sour while he was burning in a fire.
Take something small like that and add/subtract as you be in motion until you get 3-5 pages. keep it short, and after go back and add to it, okay?
Don't use that story though, lol because clearly it be pretty lame. :) I strongly advise that you think of something new to be alarming. Too many zombie stories, too many vampires, ghosts, hauntings, ect.
School shootings isn't innovative but it'll definitely scare your teacher.
Plot: (very short, needs to be extended beside your ideas)
In a castle, visiting my uncle John. It's a very cold night. I haven't hear a sound yet. My uncle is downstairs preparing dinner while I go on a tour. I'm walking down the stairs when I see someone looking out the glass. Well, not exactly someone, more like something. Right there in front of me is an illumines entity in a cloak. Suddenly her head vanishes and reappear in the direction that I'm at. Her face is pale, illumines logically and she has black eyes. I stutter, flabbergasted by her illusive stare. I almost fall as I'm retreating.
Suddenly I hear moans! I get a fright and dive on my backside hitting a step of the stairs with my back. As I'm trying to get up, the carvings on the walls of angels start moving slowly and I see that the moaning, is coming from the angels. I look wager on at the women but shes fading. The angels' eyes' open wide and beam with perfect beauty and later... I'm asleep.
I wake up. I'm in my bed and at the end is the women... Only very soon do I realize... It's the ghost of my dead mother... Source(s): Just something I thought of randomely.
Im a writer 2, and i can minister to u think of some stuff
Ok 1st idea: haunted house
2nd: ghost
if you dont approaching mine, its better to just sit down with a pen and paper and write doesn`t matter what comes to you
hope i helped! ;) Source(s): Mind
well i think a moral one is about a girl that died in her cabin from mortal to cold and some people think she can hear the little girl playing and her smoke coming from the chimney almost as if they can hear her trying to get reheat,

two girls who move to a unknown house and find a cabin on the edge of the property and go within and find a woman and her son live there and her husband is in the navy. The girls jump to the town and ask a shopkeeper who told them that the woman and son died over a hundred years ago. They go back and find that nobody is home. They walk contained by to the hall of the house right outside a the room that the mother and son usually are, look in the hall mirror and see the mother rocking the son to sleep. They look backbone into the room and the chair is rocking but nobody is in it.
I don't know. I just come up with it. It isn't that good, and probably will be too long. If you like it, you can shorten it.
how about some one waking up on a hospital bed while in the middle of an operation
you could fit plenty of horrible emotion and claustrophobia into a very short piece
Just edit your short story. Take everything out that doesn't need to be within there. if is isn't vital to your story then clutch it out.
ideas: Research on horror and gothic elements in stories. Something should come to you!
hope i helped!

Question around nickname?
