Mini Horror Stories

mom?

I looked outside as the trees passed by,I was in the car with my mom driving to my grandparents for the weekend to spend at their ranch.We finally got there of what seemed like years and I got out of the car mud squishing under my feet.We met my grandparents at the front of the ranch where their house is my grandma giving a warm smile and hug.My grandpa doing the same as we came inside the house the floor creaking under our feet.The day went by quickly and it was already time for bed.

Grandma showed me where me and my mom would be sleeping,it was a small room with two bed and a dresser.I changed into my pajamas collapsing onto the bed I was so tired and it wasn't soon till my mom and I fell asleep too.But I woke up after what felt of minutes of sweet rest,It was 2 AM.I looked over at where my mom should be but she was gone.I got up and cringed as the floor boards were even louder than during the day and the door wasn't any different.

I walked down the creaky stairs careful to no wakeup my grandparents and went to the kitchen.I noticed the backdoor was wide open,I looked outside to find my mom standing giving me chills.I was about to step outside until I saw that the floor was covered in red."Mom..?" I called out and froze in place as it turned around slowly facing me.Red stained it's lips that was not my mother,It stepped closer to me whatever it was it had holes were eyes should've been.I stepped back shaking as it called out to me "Why are you staring at me like that honey?Why don't you give mommy a hug?" Its voice called out.I ran into the pantry locking myself inside as it banged on the door its voice distorted from my mother to a deep voice as it hit the door harder each time my tears not letting me see anything.

Then as soon as it intensified it was gone and all I heard was it yelping in pain and my grandma.I creaked the door open to watch her throwing salt at it while it ran away and my grandma closed the door locking it.She made sure it left by watching it run into the forest and looked back at me."I'm so sorry honey but I think you're going to be staying here for alot longer than you planned because it got to your mother before we could stop it." I cried the rest of the night trying to sleep in my new room looking at the empty bed my mother once lied in.

Now I live with my grandparents,it's a nice peaceful life and I helped on the farm.But,I still lay awake at night clutching a bag of salt wondering when it will come back for me like it did with my mother.
