Short Scary Stories :)

True Fear

We all fear things, but can we say we have experienced true fear?

For example,you just came back from a walk and you unlock your door and go inside. You are downstairs, on your computer when the news comes on the TV, you sit and watch intently as the news caster tells you the scores of your favorite sporting event and the average cutesy story followed by news on how politicians have messed up.

You are about to go to bed when the news comes back on, they're talking about riots, caused by a mass break out at the local prison; murderers, rapists, and madmen are free and roaming the town. You hear noises coming from outside and duck down, then you turn off the TV and computer followed by all the lights so you don't attract the attention of the people outside.

You slowly make it upstairs, moving quickly past your glass front door, and as you rush through the hall you see outlines of people slowly walking up your driveway. You hold your breath and sprint up the stairs, the run into your room, pull the curtains shut and leap into bed and hide under your covers. You bury your head into the pillow and cry softly, hoping and praying that it will be over soon, reassuring yourself over and over, however, something unbeknownst of you is nagging at your composure. 

You suddenly bolt upright as you hear something, then at that exact moment, it dawns on you- the most horrific realization you could imagine- and you finally understand; you finally experience true fear.

You didn't lock the door
