Lovecraft himself would have called it, then enjoy these short tales of terror!

There are things in our world that would drive you mad just to know of them. Monsters from the dark, and horrific myths made flesh that should not exist. These things are anomalies, and the only thing protecting us are the personnel of the SCP Foundation. For all their money, influence, and military might, though, it's possible for the anomalies to slip their chains... these are just some of the stories one might hear if they rise high enough to read the foundation's unredacted files. The original stories, as well as the citations for all the anomalies and their origins, can be found at: https://vocal.media/fiction/50-two-sentence-horror-stories-scp-edition To help The Literary Mercenary keep making content like this, consider leaving a tip, or becoming a patron: - Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theliterarymercenary - Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theliterarymercenary Follow the author's social media for the latest updates: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/nlitherl - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NealFLitherland - Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/neallitherland/ Background music from Tabletop Audio: - Pattern Recognition - Nightmare

For some people, horror is all about building suspense. It's the slow ratcheting up of tension until you get a sudden explosion of terror, or a glimpse into the cosmic workings of some madman's universe. Two-sentence horror stories, though, challenge you to tell us a story without all that time and space. You have the space of a breath to reach into our brains, and hot-wire that fear response.
