Tales with a twist

Jessica was home alone for the weekend. Her parents were outstation, and her friends had gone camping.

She didn’t follow as she wasn’t feeling well. It was nearly 11pm, and she was in the living room watching a horror movie while eating popcorn.

Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from the basement. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She crept downstairs to investigate, but the basement was empty.

Jessica let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding.

But as soon as she turned around, a figure knocked her down, grabbed the knife and ran up the stairs.

She heard the door slam shut. Jessica was stuck in the basement, all alone, but heard someone say: “You’ll be safe down there.”

Meanwhile, her friends were having a good time out in the woods.

They had a campfire to make S’mores. While eating, they told creepy stories to frighten each other. They then set up their sleeping bags and went to sleep.

While they were sleeping, the figure from Jessica’s house appeared at the campsite, covered in blood, holding a bloodied knife.

The figure saw the group’s tents and decided to have some fun. It quietly went inside each tent and murdered all of them.

Jessica’s parents rushed home when they heard what had happened to her friends.

They were worried as they couldn’t contact her. They were relieved when they found her, tired but alive, shaking with fear down in the basement.

They were surprised to see she was covered in blood.

It’s your fault

A young girl was running through the forest with a man, holding a knife, not too far behind.

While running, she looked back but couldn’t see anyone. She stopped to take a rest. That was her mistake. The man appeared from nowhere and stabbed her in the leg. She couldn’t move.

The man’s insane eyes and crazy grin made the girl fear for her life.

He opened his mouth and said: “Goodbye, hope you like your last moment on earth!”

The last thing the girl heard before her life ended was the man saying: “You made me this way.”

Money or your life

It was a cool, breezy night. A young woman was going home after a long day at work.

Suddenly, a man grabbed her and dragged her into an alleyway. He held up his knife and pointed at her.

“Give me all your money now, or else!” he whispered.

The woman replied: “Wait! Don’t kill me. I’m single!”

When the man heard that, he said, “OK”. And he left her alone.

Lights out

It was a stormy night. It had rained for the first time in nearly three weeks.

A young boy was on his computer playing video games. Suddenly, the lights in the entire house went out, and the young boy screamed.

His parents quickly ran to his room and asked: “What’s wrong?! Where’s the intruder?!”

The boy cried out: “There’s no internet!”
