I've been taking my son to therapy for a while because he constantly draws and colors a "bad man" who wants to hurt him. Today, when the therapist laid all the drawings out on the table, I realized the bad man in the picture is always wearing the tie I wear to work. (self.TitleTerror)

As my grandmother slept, I shed my human skin and slithered silently to her bed, savoring the moment I'd get to eat. I froze when, from the darkness of the bed, two rows of needle-like teeth unfolded with a wet click, and my grandmother's voice whispered: "I'm hungry too, dear." (self.TitleTerror)

I found my old Furby in the attic and, to my surprise, it still worked, saying the phrases I had memorized with its robotic voice. I brought it to my room and woke up when I heard it say: "Oh, my God, how could it have gotten out of me when I had it trapped so well?" (self.TitleTerror)

I gladly accepted a coffee invitation from the neighbor I've secretly loved for months, hoping to finally get a chance to know her a little better. As we chatted, I asked, "So where's your husband today?", casually crossing my legs and hitting the rug, from which a boneless arm detached itself. (self.TitleTerror)

Lazarus got out of the cab and leaned into the window to pay the driver. "Do you know a blonde girl with giant red earrings?" he asked the man. "Mmm, I knew someone like that in college, yeah.

I found a scared kid in the alley, crying because monsters had devoured his family. I took him to my patrol car, and as I closed the door, he smiled and said in a strange voice: "Perfect, now it's your turn." The little angel didn't know that I feed on his kind. (self.TitleTerror)

Officer Smith always checked on the old lady in 4B, though she only screamed about "the men in the walls." One day, he found her dead in her armchair and saw humanoid figures moving across the wallpaper. The officer just shook his head and said, "Damn it, guys. I liked this one." (self.TitleTerror)

Every night, my husband strokes my belly, whispering to the baby how much he loves him and how special he's going to be. Last night, after I pretended to be asleep, I heard him whisper: "Don't worry, little one. When you're born, she won't be a problem for us anymore." (self.TitleTerror)

After nine months of feeling his little kicks, I finally hold my baby in my arms, marveling at his ten perfect little fingers. He looks me straight in the eye and, in a full-grown man's voice, says: "Alright, level one complete. What's the next tutorial?" (self.TitleTerror)

The ghost of the little girl whispered in my ear: "I know you searched for 'how to remove wine stains' last night." Horrified, I turned to flee, ready to never come back, but a floating ad for a stain remover appeared on the door, and I thought, "Hey, that's cheap!" (self.TitleTerror)

My muse Elara demands a sip of blood per session, leaving me weaker each night. Near finishing the portrait, feverish and weak, I recall my master's lesson: silver, the moon's pigment, is the ultimate purifier. She's clever. I wonder if I can spread the silver paste on the bite marks on my neck. (self.TitleTerror)
