One great thing about short stories is how quickly they can ruin your life. Sounds pretty dark, but maybe you start reading one over lunch break and, if its the right one, maybe that peanut butter cup you brought for dessert even has a chance to finish its melting shape-shift into that sugary cement, the whole world around you has been destroyed and rebuilt, and nothing is quite the same again. 
 
This happens whether you like it or not. Great stories practice this violent beauty on you in a variety of ways: some by making a absurd world familiar (or vice versa) some with a slow burn, some with a voice that colonizes your thoughts. Some do it silently, sometimes without you even noticing it, and some do it with high wire acts of imagination or intellect that eventually make you a breathless witness.

Tastes differ, of course, and it can be confusing spotting the small boat on a great story on a wide sea of fiction.All Rights Reserved

The Twisted Tales by LuciferKreuger

A place where true love expires, good people get fired and beings are nothing but dust. Where stalkers are heroes, society makes zeroes and madness is not in the crust. Some people are killers, and that's just the pillars of what is essentially rust. When you feel you are mad, but that isn't so bad in a world that is oh so unjust. They'll kill you by car, or from quite afar in a world where all life is fleeting. Don't try to protect, you'll just end up wrecked, for you know their hearts are not beating. They'll kill you my sweet, and not drop a beat, for my story is only just heating. Power means all, even more for the small, but power has a habit of retreating. The bodies mount up, many lives will breakup, as I'm here to just tell a story. Don't look in the hill, though it is quite a thrill, I've heard it can get quite gory. Don't play with the heart, and don't think you're too smart, or you'll die with none of the glory. All are mad from the start, but you played your part, in the world of pure purgatory. Alas look a ghost, be careful you're not toast, you must want to see what I see. Society is ruthless, protection is fruitless, for in madness is when you are free. Perfection is dead, from the wounds we all bled, a cruel fate we did not foresee. While outsiders are safer, if only by a wafer, you can still hear them utter a plea. Now my story is frightening, but oh so inviting, so come now and give it a whirl. I can promise some danger, so don't be a stranger, watch now - we will see it unfurl.

The Paranormal by kitkat631

These are some short scary stories I found and wrote myself. It starts out slow, but picks up very quickly. Later on I will be sure to keep you up at night. (This is horror if it gets changed to short story again.)

Don't Blink by AmandaCecil2

When someone comes up to you and warns about, "Life is too short", well that's exactly what they mean. In a blink of an eye everything you know, everyone you love, reality of the world changes; leaving no space or time to fix it. Realization hits us all during our most precious breaking moments. The strong willed always lasts a little longer than the rest of us. Showing us what true strength and power really can achieve. What happens when that life changing outcome turns the world into something from a fair tale?

My Little Blue Blader ♡ (Shu x Valt) by DecoraPrince

It all started out simple, nothing out of the ordinary- the usual things that could happen. And yet.. how could such a simple situation lead to an ultimate moment of realization? . . . . .

How To Save Your Trapper [An Eret Love Story] by Funnygirl_thatBelle

It's been five years since Hiccup changed the minds of Berk, and everyone is happier for it. It's a more peaceful way of life, and it opens the doors to new experiences such as Dragon Racing and discovering new lands. But what happens when Hiccup, his cousin, Revna, and Astrid stumble upon a Dragon Trapping Ring? What happens when the leader of said ring catches wind about the Dragon Riders? And what happens when Revna, a fiery, brave, and selfless warrior catches the eye of a certain trapper? Will she feel a spark as well? Will love prevail? Or will their stubborn personalities and differences keep them apart? Read to find out! Disclaimer: I don't own How to Train Your Dragon or any of its characters. I only own Revna and Amethyst. This is by no mean my first story. But it is the first that I am sharing with well, the world. I am very proud of it, but I know there is always room for improvement. Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. No hate, please. Thank you! I'd also like to thank @OneArtsyGamer03 for giving me the final push to share my work. If you haven't checked out her stories, I highly recommend.

Night Rider by Hermione_Hofferson

Night Rider - A httyd and Hiccstrid book. -Astrid's pov- 8 years. That's how long it has been. 8 lonely, cold, devastating years of my life that I will never get back. Every night I dream the same dream - every night the same day returns to haunt me over and over. That day dramatically changed my life for the worst. Why did that day happen? Everyone learnt to leave me in peace in the morning. Everyone knew my deepest, darkest secret that changed people's opinions of me forever. Everyone knew my arch enemy, but only 2 people know why he is my arch enemy. My friends still talk to me, just not in the same way as they used to - it's almost as if they are scared of me, or don't want to be associated with me. One day I want this to change. One day I want my life to turn around. One day I will truely be me again. One day I will be happy. One day I will be free. I cannot see that day in the forseeable future, but I know it will come, and I know somehow it is connected to my enemy. *I know that it is an over-used story line but I tried to spice it up a little. Kinda like how you may always eat a Chicken Masala and then you try a Vindaloo - they're both food and both curries but one is different from the other* There are extra chapters at the end containing side-stories of this book. It will make more sense when you read the chapter titled: 'The little boat' near the end of the book, but the actual story is 60 chapters long.
