Lemmy Scare You! A community for sharing short scary stories.

Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.

Rules are simple:

  1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
  2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
  3. Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
  4. Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
  5. Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
  6. Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is a classic sci-fi horror story, inspired by the Red Scare. So, let's revisit the classics by writing a modern take on the story together to demonstrate [CHAIN], as Lemmy's format makes it ideal for this kind of storytelling.

Write as much or as little as you like, make up new characters! Write cool plot twists! Use other people's characters in a different branch!

Ok, let's start:

The sleepy little town of Crystal Springs, located 50 miles off the highway from Phoenix, Arizona, was as average of a town as it comes. Born as a mining town during the gold rush in the 1800s, in recent years, it has experienced a revival as a popular tourist location thanks to its namesake crystal clear springs, as well as a bustling college town thanks for the recently constructed Arizona University at Crystal Springs.

Little do the residents know, their time for peace and tranquility are at an end, and it all started 6 months ago, when the thing from another world streaked through the sky and crashed into the middle of the forest at the edge of the town.
