Horror Stories

When I was a little girl, the scary stories told were just that. There was no such thing as the slender man or houses that eat you through a welcome mat. Horror stories became all too real as I grew. Tales of men who were evil through and through. But I believe it could never happen to me. It was similar to the horrors in books so it couldn't be. I wanted to believe I was safe. That nothing bad could ever take place. Nightmares became reality when people I knew decided to become horrors too. I became scared of everyone, afraid that they might punish me black and blue. The thing about horror stories is that they're fake. There are no monsters in any deep lake. And not everything is as it seems. The mean girls aren't always on teams. There's nothing to be afraid of when night roles around. And it's ok if you happen to make a sound. The thing about horror stories are they are just that. Stories that scare everyone when they sit where we sat. The only negative is they stay with us till the end. One of the positives is that we can share our worries with a friend.
