Your best, two-sentence horror story

I looked outside and saw only pitch-black darkness beyond the window, then I looked at the clock.

It was high-noon.

Today is your first day in the kitchen.

Then Gordon Ramsay enters the room.

"Did you find out what happened to my son?"

"Ma'am, he was the one experimenting on people."

Can someone please tell me how to edit my title and location?

What do you think? Horrific, or just squicky?

This one I posted in case the first is disqualified for excessive grossness.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

"You have used 50% of your allotted data." It was the second day of the month.

The door isn't always locked to keep people out. Sometimes, it's to keep something else in.

Now everyone pat me on the back and tell me how clever I am!

The pictures I had taken of the murder had an artistic quality to them. But that won't matter if I get killed by caught by the murderer before I get them to the police.

I pet my cat.

And then it opened it's mouth 20 feet long and ate me and there was idk blood or something to make it scarier.

(I'm not too great at this, am i?)

Hi i'm Emmy! I'm happy to be here! Uhh... what else should i put here.

I held as still as I could, waiting for the T-Rex to give up and go away. And then I sneezed.

...I'd better stop before all I can think of is options that end with that latter sentence.

in this world, killing people adds their lifespan to yours.
today, some archaeologists unsealed a thousand years old cavern... with a single, living person inside.

"Wear a tinfoil hat", they said, "It will shield your brain", they said. A little metal was just what this salsa recipe needed.

I woke up at 3:43 AM. The sun was rising on the horizon.

The meteor shower was so beautiful that night.

Then we looked closely and saw the meteors had legs.

The doctor in charge of the operation assured me i'd wake up with a new face.

What she didn't tell me was that someone else would wake up with a new body.

No matter where you try to go, he's gonna stalk you night and day, he just wants to have his way — don't take the rose. Watch your step and stay alert, if you just touched it it's too late, what happens next is gonna hurt — don't take the rose.

^{Behind the scenes trivia:} This is a snippet of song lyrics, just part of the chorus. Obviously I couldn't post the whole song no matter how many commas, semicolons and dashes I could have cheated with. I wrote alternative lyrics to the tune of Don't Mine at Night which is in turn alternative lyrics to the tune of Last Friday Night.

I wake up at midnight to see an evil looking man staring down at me with a crazed grin.

As my claws dig into his neck, he's probably thinking he should've tried a different grave.

The invasion fleet allowed their slaves one last Terran meal before loading. Old Man Henderson went for a second helping of five-alarm chili.

Don't be afraid, it didn't happen for real, it was just a dream. I should know, I was there the whole time.

I felt like messing around in Writer's Block lol

Wake up, my dear children... For I'm awake, and I'm always watching....

I walked across the lonesome street, trying to find where the smell of smoke came from.

And then, I realised that nothing had been burnt outside. It was the inside of all buildings that were now ashes.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

I was always told of the bad men that would come to get me. But they had been raising me for eighteen years.
