A group of people shared the creepiest lines they could think of in response to a popular Reddit thread asking for the 'best horror story you can come up with in two sentences'. Reddit网站上的一则帖子最近颇受欢迎，要求参与者“用短短两句话写出你所能想到的最恐怖的故事”。很多人分享了他们所想到的最令人毛骨悚然的两句话鬼故事。

One of the most chilling entries was shared by a Reddit user known as i-am-the-a**butt, who simply wrote: 'My sister says that mommy killed her. Mommy says that I don't have a sister'. 名为“i-am-the-a**butt”的网友写了这样一则简洁而又惊悚的故事：“妹妹说是妈妈杀了她，但妈妈却说我并没有妹妹。”
The simple lines leave the reader wondering whether the mother actually killed her other child or if her child is hearing voices. 这简单的两句话留给读者无限想象空间，究竟是这个妈妈杀了自己的另一个孩子还是这个“我”出现了幻听呢？
Resurrection_man created a feeling of dread when he wrote about someone who knows they are about to die. 名叫“Resurrection_man”的网友写了一则故事，讲述一个能预知他人死亡的人，让人恐惧不已。
'My grandmother told me that it was a gift to see the angel of death in front of people's houses, to know that he'd be collecting someone there soon,' the person wrote. 'I thought it was a gift too, up until the day I began to see it in front of every house.' “我奶奶告诉我，有些人天赋异禀，能看见别人家房子前的死亡天使，天使出现意味着他要带走某个人的灵魂了，”但她又写道，“我曾经也觉得这是一种天赋，直到我后来发现每一家的房子前都有死亡天使的存在。”
JustAnotherMuffledVo shared a terrifying scene taken from writer Juan J.Ruiz's story Tuck Me In. 'I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, "Daddy, check for monsters under my bed,"' the person wrote. 'I look underneath5 for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, "Daddy, there’s somebody on my bed.”' 名为“JustAnotherMuffledVo”的网友分享了一则恐怖故事，灵感来自作家胡安?鲁伊兹所写的故事《掖好被子》。“我为他塞好被角，他说‘爸爸，帮我看看床下有没有怪兽’，我为了逗逗他就低头去看，却看到了另一个他躺在床下，浑身颤抖地盯着我，悄声说道：‘爸爸，有人躺在我床上。’”
One Reddit user know as PeopleInMyHead said the lines were so terrifying that she was scared to check on her son after reading it.

Others imagined what it would be like to be buried alive or operate on while awake. 还有些人大开脑洞，想像被活埋或者在清醒时被执行手术的感觉。
'After struggling desperately6 to move any part of his paralytic7 body just to alert the doctors that he was conscious before they made the first incision8, he was relieved to see that one of the nurses had noticed his pupils dilating9 from the bright light,' Clayboy731 wrote. 'She leaned in close and, in a whisper that tickled10 his ear, said: "You think we don't know you're awake?"' “在医生划下第一道切口前他奋力挣扎着麻痹的身体，想要让医生知道他仍然意识清醒，一名护士终于注意到他的瞳孔在强光下会扩大，他松了一口气，”名为“Clayboy731”的网友写道，“她凑近在他耳边悄声说道：‘你以为我们不知道你醒着吗？’”
Meanwhile, KnowsGoodThanYou took shared a more sci-f version, writing: 'They celebrated11 the first successful cryogenic freezing. He had no way of letting them know he was still conscious.' 网友“KnowsGoodThanYou”写的故事则有更多的科幻意味。“他们在为第一次成功实行低温冰冻术而庆祝，但他却没办法让他们知道他仍有意识。”
And Graboid27 added: 'I can't move, breathe, speak or hear and it's so dark all the time. If I knew it would be this lonely, I would have been cremated12 instead.' 名为“Graboid27”的网友为这个故事加了一段后续：“我动弹不得，无法呼吸，叫不出来也听不见，这里是如此漆黑，如果我早知道冷冻是如此寂寞的后果，我就会选择火葬了。”
Some of the creepiest responses featured people who were haunted by the dead. 还有一些恐怖故事描述了被死者缠住的人。
'"I can't sleep," she whispered, crawling into bed with me. I woke up cold, clutching the dress she was buried in,' one Reddit user with a since-deleted account wrote. “‘我睡不着。’她悄声说道，爬上我的床和我一起躺着。我猛地醒来，手中却紧握着她下葬时穿的连衣裙，”一位账户已注销的网友这样写道。
Skuppy shared a similar story, writing: 'My daughter won't stop crying and screaming in the middle of the night. I visit her grave and ask her to stop, but it doesn't help.' “Skuppy”写了个相似的故事：“我的女儿在半夜一直哭喊尖叫。我去她坟上要她停下，但没用。”
Others made readers think about the terror they would feel if they realized they weren't alone in their own homes. 还有一些恐怖故事让人们想像家里还有别的东西存在。
'The last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 12:07 before she pushed her long rotting nails through my chest, her other hand muffling13 my screams,' jmperson wrote. “她腐烂的手指甲划过我的胸脯，我惊声尖叫，她用另一只手捂住我的嘴巴，我看见的最后一幕就是闹钟闪动，到了12:07，”网友“jmperson”写道。
'I sat bolt upright, relieved it was only a dream, but as I saw my alarm clock read 12:06, I heard my closet door creak open.'
“我笔直地坐了起来，松了一口气，还好只是个梦，但我看见闹钟显示12:06，我的壁橱门嘎吱一声开了。”
And guztaluz added: 'There was a picture in my phone of me sleeping. I live alone.' “guztaluz”写道：“我的手机里出现过一张我睡觉的照片，可我是一个人住。”
However, one of the Reddit users' bone-chilling stories is actually true. 好吧，有一位网友的恐怖故事是真实发生过的。
'My grandfather, who died of Alzheimer's several years ago, refused to let the house lights be turned off at night,' wkukinslayer explained. 'The light, he offered, was the only thing keeping the dark men away. What terrifies me about those two sentences is that they're true. The lights didn't go off in that house at night for three months.' “我的祖父，数年前患阿兹海默症去世，以前他晚上睡觉总是不愿意关灯，”名叫“wkukinslayer”的网友写道，“他说光是唯一能驱散黑影人的东西。而让我觉得惊悚的是这居然是真的，家里那些灯连着三个月一直亮着。”
