Boo!
Each year for Halloween, our studio becomes Creative Fright-it! as we work on spooky prompts. This year we worked on two-sentence horror stories; a deceptively simple structure that challenges you to set up seemingly-normal scenarios then twist your reader’s expectation with a spooky second sentence. 
Our young authors were frightfully good at choosing their words to conjure up eerie atmospheres and chilling conclusions. Here are some of the highlights from this year!

Summer - Year 7

I had a special request for a family photo today. I took one snap and they were dead - the customer was pleased about the service.

Karen - Year 4

Picture
I hear a bell ring outside, it’s probably my package. I look outside my window and I see a bike riding with no one on it, that's strange

Picture
Ahhh, I sat down at my new table from Ikea, and I loved it. I was about to put my bowl on it when it started moving, it moved like a giant spider.

Ethan - Year 3

One morning, Tom went to the zoo. His moaning can still be heard from the lion pen. 
​

 There is a beautiful garden at our school. The only problem is, no one has walked in and lived to tell the tale.

Lucy - Year 6

My brother and I sat down at the Ouija board. He asked, “Lucy are you there?” and I moved the planchette to yes.
Picture
I was playing on my phone when I saw a picture of me sleeping. But I live alone.

Anjelina - Year 4

I was playing with my baby sister's fingers. They were bigger than mine.

Taliah - Year 6

Picture
My mum says I need to start taking my anti-psychotic medication again, and that it’s unhealthy for me to suddenly stop taking them. But it’s the only way I can keep her around.

Picture
The note says, “I hate you, I’ve run away.” It took five tries but the handwriting finally looks like hers.

Kaitlyn  - Year 7

“Ah, so it’s 2020,” the time traveller said. He pointed to your house, a thoughtful expression on his face, “Wasn’t that when carcasses were found in this building, horrifyingly mutilated?”

 A little girl pointed at the television and declared excitedly, “Daddy, look, I’m on TV!” A moment later, she asked,  “What does ‘kidnapped two years ago’ mean?”

Bianca - Year 2

Zhilong - Year 4

My computer turns on. This is the end.

Somebody touched my back. I looked behind me.

Emily - Year 3

It was 6:00 on a quiet night and I was waiting for my wife for a long time. When I finally heard the doorbell ring, I rushed to the door to see if it was my wife but turns out it wasn’t, it was a witch!
Picture

I was queuing up at the food truck when a person cut in front of me. I looked down at my shirt and it was covered in blood.

Rita - Year 3

 “Ben, is that you poking my leg?” “No.” 

“I know you are there Amelia! Come to mama!

Evan - Year 3

Picture
I got into a taxi, there was no one at first but then a corpse appeared. The steering wheel started to move and the car was going forward.

Aarush - Year 3

As the clock struck 12, I leapt for the doorway, but he appeared. I stumbled and landed on my back

Mia - Year 6

My husband is such a loud snorer. I wish I hadn't asked to be buried with him.

 A black cat crossed my path yesterday. I just woke up in my grave
