Mystery Box: A Flash of Horror Book 1 💀 scary.co

What kind of stories can be told in under 1,500 words? Creepy, edgy, stories. Ones like these… Clowning AroundA prank goes badly wrong. Up ahead, a tall figure sat on a swing in a derelict children’s playground. Dave called to his companions. ‘We’ve got one of those sick bastards lurking about. Brace yourselves.’Friar Bacon’s Fire Titus ignores a solemn warning. At the first rough stroke an agonised scream rent the air. ‘The head is alive!’ ‘Absurd, it must be a ruse, a hidden trick.’ ‘Yet it made no noise when we stole it.’ChosenA great honour comes at a high cost. I never asked to be beautiful. I hate my beauty now, because of, not despite, the honour it has inflicted. Beauty has brought me to this place. I would rather be anywhere else.White RoomViolence is only one way to break someone.Bruce could feel his grip on reality loosening. But it seemed a matter of indifference to the controllers if he starved to death.Inside the Giant’s Dice Adventurous teens unlock a building’s awful secret.

Local historians had only theories.Salvation ShowA bogus evangelist puts on a spectacle.Her appearance, white make-up, black nails and studded wristbands, matched the décor.

One with superhuman strength.Stimulus ResponseWhen scientific curiosity meets basic human urges, one of them must give.Her arms and legs trembled. Electrodes on her head delivered unimaginable sexual pleasure. So much pleasure, she was oblivious to the pair of scientists seated nearby.A Toxic PlotA courtier tries a dangerous bluff.Feels normal, he reassured himself. Poison had become the scourge of Europe’s courts. Mere skin contact, it was said, could cause agonising death.Pretty ThingsEven beauty and magic have their dark sides.‘Aah, that’s pretty! Be nice and put it over my shoulders.’Siobhan put the ribbon around the little creature. The fairy stopped to admire her reflection in a dewdrop.‘So, when will you make Mummy better?’Going BelowWhen the rent is cheap, there’s usually a catch.Too infrequent to be a nuisance, the distant noises seemed a minor compromise for finding good lodgings at such low rent.

But he didn’t expect to see what he actually saw. Himself.The PredictionBob wasn’t superstitious, not until that fateful chance encounter. ‘The warning?’ ‘Be careful, living on your own, off the beaten track.
