Living in the 21st century, having an account on Twitter can be beneficial in a number of ways. The popular micro-blogging site keeps you updated with the latest online trends, brings you close to your favourite celebrities and of course, happens to be the funniest place on the internet. And just sometimes, it tells horror stories too!
Yes, it all started when comics and animation writer @GailSimone challenged people to write a super short scary story. Not just short but he asked the netizens to try and give goosebumps in just six words!
Today's challenge isn't new, but I still think it's fun.
Write a horror story in six words.
Please use hashtag#SixWordHorror
