Two Sentence Horror story:
"Honey, the neighbors are acting strange - they're just standing in their yard staring at our house," Sarah texted her husband. An hour later, she heard a familiar knock at the door and saw him standing there, gray-skinned and vacant-eyed.

The full moon rose as Tom noticed his date's teeth growing sharper with each passing minute. "Don't worry," she growled, her fingers elongating into claws, "I like my meat rare too."

I had been writing my book for 6 hours straight when I noticed that the word "help" had appeared in my document hundreds of times, even though I hadn't typed it. As I moved to delete them, my cursor began typing on its own: "I'm trapped in here with something else, and it knows I can see you."

Two Sentence Horror Story -
The children's laughter echoed through the house as I frantically checked room after room, knowing I lived alone and didn't have kids. When I finally traced the sound to the old mirror in my bedroom, my reflection's children waved at me.

Twittering a hellhole
I really don't understand why people go out of their way to post negative opinions that they should know will hurt or alienate others.
"Lol I hate (harmless thing that other people love) so much 🤮"
Then ignore it? Post what you love instead?
It's such a Twitter fandom mentality.

Friends: it would mean the world if you could call out to the ether and share my books!
They're about two tween stepsisters who constantly run afoul of ghosts, monsters, and other creepy stuff.
They face them all with wit, snark, and especially snark.
Did I say snark already? Also snark 😆
