Prompt: Write three separate two sentence horror stories that occur in the same universe/same idea (For example: When I smiled, she did not smile back. Something is very wrong with this mirror).
I ran to my daughters room as I heard her whisper “Help, help me daddy”. As I burst into the room I saw her lay fast asleep on her bed as the whispering continued from under the bed.
As it rained outside, flashes of lightning illuminated my room briefly, I couldn't sleep in these conditions. As I flicked the lights on I saw him, a man holding a camera just outside of my window, click, flash.
Every night, faint whispers came from outside my window, and I knew I was being watched. When I finally caught a glimpse of my stalker's reflection in the glass, it was a face I recognized - unimaginably twisted into a malevolent grin I had never worn.
