We all want to think we're clever. And we all get a few opportunities to do so. Every person gets maybe one or two good ones in every day, and we should be happy for that. Should everyone be a spooky two-sentence story writer? You be the judge.

For the most part, two sentence horror stories are a very cool writing exercise. A real good one can have an actually creepy surprise twist to it, and they're fun to read. And the bad ones? The bad ones are also fun to read, but more because you get to ask questions like "how in the world did the person writing this think it would be taken seriously?" or "What does this person think 'the hallway man' is?" Not sure if the authors are drunk, tired, or children, but there is some quality crap over at @bad2sentence, a twitter account created to document the most heinously, egregiously bad examples of two sentence horror. We all wish we could be authors, but hey, sometimes you just end up writing stuff for a viral internet culture company. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Here are some more actually clever and creepy two sentence horror stories for those who got intrigued.
