As an author, I can tell you for sure that it’s hard to write a story, and even harder to write a good story.
Perhaps the hardest thing of all is to write a short story, because finding your punch in just a few words can be more than a small challenge.
These 14 people have risen to that challenge, though, at least with these short – but terrifying – little horror vignettes.
14. When Death is afraid…

Oh, wait…that’s not….

1. Nope. Don’t like that.
Space freaks me out.
