Short Horror Stories

Bad date

David walked Maria to the door after a lovely night out.

This new girl was really starting to grow on him.

She was beautiful, funny, and intelligent.

Not like the women he usually dated, which is why he nearly jumped for joy when she invited him inside for a night cap.

She retrieved a couple glasses of wine from the kitchen.

After a drink things began getting hot and heavy on the sofa.

David started to run his hand up her sweater, when Maria pulled away.

"Wait," she said. "David, there's something you should know."

"What is it?" the horny young man asked.

"I'm a cutter." she pulled back the sleeves of her turtle neck and revealed two horribly scarred arms. Gashes ran up and drown them like train tracks.

"Oh," said David. "I still think you're pretty, but on a serious note, have you gotten help?"

"Yes, but it got worse. I couldn't stop on my arms. I just love the sensation I get from a blade slicing through flesh." she pulled up her pants leg and showed him a leg that had been cut to ribbons.

"I care about you, Maria."

Yawn "I can go with you to therapy."

Yawn "You can beat this."

Yawn "Excuse me."

David's eyes began to feel heavy.

Almost as heavy as his legs and arms.

A devilish smirk formed across Maria's face.

"But, David, you are helping me," she pulled a large knife from between the seat cushions.

"As long as I have someone else, I don't need to cut myself."
