Story - 1

It was a dark and stormy night. I was home alone and had just gotten in bed when I heard a noise. It sounded like something was walking around upstairs. I got out of bed and grabbed a flashlight and a baseball bat and went to investigate. 

I slowly made my way up the stairs, heart pounding in my chest. The noise was getting louder and closer. I shone the flashlight around the corner and saw a figure standing at the end of the hall. It was a man, dressed in all black. He didn't have a face.

 I screamed and ran downstairs, but the figure was right behind me. I tripped on the bottom step and fell. The figure was upon me in an instant. I felt his icy hands around my throat, choking the life out of me. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move. I was paralyzed with fear.

 Then, as suddenly as he appeared, the figure was gone. I got up, heart racing, and ran to the front door. I opened it and there was no one there. I looked out into the street but there was no sign of the figure. 

 I went back upstairs and got into bed. I was shaking and couldn't stop crying. I don't know what that thing was, but I know it was real. I haven't been able to forget that night, and I don't think I ever will. 

Story - 2

It was a dark, moonless night. I was sound asleep in my bed when I was awoken by a noise. It sounded like something was scratching at my window. 

I got out of bed and slowly made my way to the window. When I got there, I saw a figure outside. It was a woman, and she was covered in blood. She was scratching at the window, and her eyes were black as coal. 

I was frozen in fear and couldn't move. The woman kept scratching at the window, and then she started to speak.

 Her voice was hoarse and raspy, and she said "Let me in, let me in." I didn't know what to do. I was paralyzed with fear. I stood there for what felt like an eternity, and then I finally found the strength to move. I ran to the door and locked it. Then I went back to the window and watched as the woman disappeared into the darkness.
