Dead Air - A Collection of Horror Stories

Scream.com

**This story is inspired by the rumor of the 'Blind Maiden' website, popular in Spain, which is known to provide viewers with the ultimate horror experience. It is said that sometimes the experience would prove to be lethal.**

I sat on my computer doing random stuff on the net when I found my inbox had a new mail. It was from an unknown sender - someone called 'cherrycake488'. I clicked it open and found a link. No message, no intro or greetings, but just a link. It read ' https://www.scream.com'.

Confused for a moment, I wondered if one of my friends was pranking me with a fake username. Or maybe the mail was sent to me by mistake. Curiosity got the better of me, and I clicked the link. After all, a website can't hurt.

But to my disappointment, I couldn't gain access to the site. I tried every now and then, but the site mostly remained offline. One night when I was in my room, I suddenly gained access. The screen turned a dull black and a message flashed, "Are you sure you want to join in the horror experience of the Scream? Press 'Continue' if yes, and 'Decline' if no." Of course, I pressed 'Continue'.

At first, nothing but a few disturbing videos and images came up and started to play. One was of a couple of drunk teenagers molesting an old janitor. Another was of some bullies killing a kid's pet dog by stuffing it in the oven. Another showed a doctor accidentally slitting the throat of a newborn while delivery. I was pretty sure that filming was prohibited in the operation theatre. Then there were videos of creepy ghost sightings. However, they were more on the disturbing side than on the horror side. But what came after that was the part that scared me a little.

It was a montage of images of screaming faces. The images played across the screen very fast. The faces were frozen in a silent scream with utmost agony and horror on their faces. Something about those screaming faces felt so real that I could feel the terror in myself. Next, a video started playing.

At first I thought it was a recording. But with a jolt of horror, I realised it was my living room. Someone, or something, had broken into my house with a camera and now I could see the stairs on my screen. Whoever was filming, was coming upstairs.

My skin turned white and I started sweating. I reached out for the phone to call 911, but my computer screen showed someone slowly open the door to my room. Sure enough, I heard it creak open behind me. Now I could see myself sitting on the desk, back to the door. Stiffness overcame me and I dropped the phone. The figure was moving toward me fast and I could hear its heavy footsteps and restless breathing behind me. As I slowly turned, my body froze in horror. The last thing I remember is screaming, and the dark figure taking a picture of my face before bringing an axe down on me.
