Scary Short Stories

The Whispering

I shivered as I felt the cold wind pierce through my coat. I tried to pull it closer to me but that didn't really help. I was walking home from my friend Lauren's house. It was about 8:30 so it was dark. Honestly, I hate walking home alone. It's really creepy and since I'm a lover of horror movies and such, I'm terrified. I was about 2 blocks away from my house when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to look but there was no one there. Weird I thought. Then I heard a faint whisper "I'm gonna getcha!" I turned around again but I was greeted by an empty road.

I started walking faster. "I've almost gotcha" the whisper came again followed by footsteps. No no no I thought in my head. I started walking even faster and I tried to call my friend but my phone had died. The footsteps started getting louder and closer. I started running. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed. All of a sudden, everything stopped. The footsteps, the whispering. All there was, was a terrifying silence.

I slowly turned around and saw nothing. An empty street. A sigh escaped my lips and I turned around to continue walking. When I turned around, a figure greeted me that must have been 8ft. "Gotcha" it whispered and everything went black.

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more! :]
