MicroFiction Horror Stories
Microfiction is a form of storytelling typically limited to 300
words or less. Due to its extreme brevity, microfiction relies on
suggestion rather than explicit detail to convey its meaning.
Groggy from a deep sleep, I opened my eyes to find my long lost childhood doll, talking to me from the end of the bed. The moonlight casting harsh shadows across its stitched face.
Abandoned for years in the attic, it told me of the horrors it had seen in the attic. It whispered secrets that only I could know, in a tongue and dialect of my long dead grandmother.
As I listened, paralyzed with fear, I felt an icy hand grip my shoulder, and with a cold breath heard my grandmother’s voice whisper in my ear, 'Don't trust the doll's treachery, my dear.'
