Lemmy Scare You! A community for sharing short scary stories.

Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.

Rules are simple:

  1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
  2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
  3. Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
  4. Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
  5. Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
  6. Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

You knew that the hole is 800 meters deep and barely large enough to fit one person. Nothing that big can crawl out of tha….S̴̯̗̀͐C̶͕͚͒̄͐R̶̺̦̮̰͐̚A̶̛̻̎̉̊͒Ȧ̸̡͆͒̕Ằ̸͈̮̩͕̈́̊̏ͅT̷̛͙̪̿̋C̸̡͎̪̊̿̂͝H̸̼̀

You force your shaking hands to secure your hold on the bottle and with a quick movement drank down the last drop of whiskey. Nothing more left. In the end, you give up. Your right hand moves to the monitor switch and the display turns on, slightly illuminating the small cabin. The recorder still shows the last frame of the transmission before anything was cut out.
