Short horror stories

The smiling man

September, 12
I always go for a walk at night because I can't fall asleep until it's really late. One night I went for a walk in central downtown. I walked down darker alleys to make my walk a little longer. When I turned down one of the alleys there was a man. I couldn't really see his face details because of no lights. What I could see gave me a few shivers. I could see his tall slender body standing on he other side of the street. I could feel him staring at me.
The scariest thing was with one the moonlight I could notice a huge smile pulled to his ears. I kept walking thinking he wouldn't follow, but he did , but still on the other side of the street. I walked a little faster and tried to get to a lit street. I could see that he started to run so I ran. I stopped at a corner about 2 meters away from him and said, "what do you want why are you following me?" He came about only 4 feet away from me and I could see that his pupils were really small and he was about the size of 2 fully grown men. His stitched up smile started to peel apart and bleed. I could hear a hissing noise. All I could do was run so I ran looking back from now and then. When I was a few blocks away from my building I turned around, and there he was smiling at me. He took me by the arm and dragged me all the way to the river. He threw me in and I was never heard of again. So now I repeat his game every night. Watch out.

I know that one kinda sucked but I'm running out of ideas so please comment some of your favourite scary stories! ❤️
