The little girl was standing in front of him. He couldn’t see her eyes. Her dark hair was hanging down in front of her pale face. She held a doll in her right hand. The doll’s eyes were torn out. It was hanging like a dead person. The girl made a sudden move with her head, threw her hair back. Fast. Her face. Twisted, strange, as if someone had hurt her, cut her. Destroyed her. She screamed.
They had found the house in the wilderness. Abounded and beautiful. With a bit of work they had cleaned it up well enough to stay there for some days. A rest until they would continue their journey.
In the basement they found a book. A small writing book, a note pad. Only one of the pages had text on it. The letters were chaotic, as written by a child.
Lonely nights and silence
Will they ever return?
Trapped and terrified
When time comes they will burn
Blood will run on wooden floors
Innocent lives… delight
The two who comes in through that door
this will be their night.
They joked about how it would be them, that there was a ghost or something. They did not know the horrible event that had happened in this place.
A little girl had been murdered by her parents. Fear had been the reason. Fear of a prophecy that never came true.
This night Janet and Morty had been lying in front of the fireplace. Janet fell asleep, and Morty went out to take a piss. Coming back in he saw the little girl. She was standing in the hallway.
Her face had a horrendous look in it’s red, beady eyes. Her scream was long, evil and in pain. She jumped at him faster than a beast. Bit his throat, pulling it out. Morty fell to the ground. Blood poured out of the wound and his mouth.
The scream woke Janet up. She ran out in the hallway, saw her boyfriend vomiting blood on the floor. A little girl sitting on top of him. The girl turned her head. An unnaturally fast movement. Her head was turned backwards. Blood were running down her cheeks. She jumped, or flew towards Janet. Janet fell backwards. She managed to throw the little girl into the fireplace. She screamed horrible screams as the flames devoured her. Screams of a little girl in pain and terror. Then she disappeared.
Janet ran over to her beloved boyfriend lying on the floor. He was dead. There was nothing she could do for him. She ran out the door as fast as she could and into the night. She stopped.
The little girl was standing in the yard. In front of her. In the tall grass. She stopped. Petrified. The little girl attacked. The sleeping birds awoke and flew from their trees far, far away.

Why is it that children make the creepiest monsters? There’s just something about the idea of innocence corrupted that freaks me out. This story, definitely horrific.

I totally agree. Children are the creepiest thing there is. This one is inspired by Japanese horror movies, the typical children moving in strange ways. It’s difficult to get the effect in writing, though. Good to hear someone found it scary:)

Killer kid ghost gets revenge against murderous parents? Okay. Other innocent people, not okay. Yes, I know which way you want me to end my own ghost kid story. 🙂

Hehe, justice wouldn’t really be horror, would it;) Sadly hate often seem to expand to people who have done nothing wrong.
