Short Horror Stories

In Hot Water

I've been in the shower for hours now, and i have yet to run out of hot water. I cant leave. Something sits on the toilet seat only feet away from me.hes watching me. I peaked through the curtain earlier.. just to get a glimpse of him. I wish i hadnt .

He had gray skin, only a few patches of long, thin hair on his head. He had nails that could have been at least a foot long. But.. there was a blood on those nails, with pieces of my wifes flesh still hanging off the tip of his nails. Every once in a while he'll make a creaky chuckle , a clearing of the throat .. to show he' s still there.

I dont want to get out, but the water keeps getting hotter.. and hotter. Im starting to blister . I stand here, with the boiling water hitting my back and i wander how much longer i can take this .
