Short Stories Before Bed (Horror)

Wrong House

That night, a cold wind blew slowly in the middle of the remote forest. Five best friends, Rizky, Maya, Dini, Tirta, and Farhan, plan to spend time together over the weekend in a cabin in the middle of the forest. However, what they do not know is that the night will change their lives forever.

They enter the cottage with passion, planning to play cards, watch movies, and tell horror stories. When they opened the door, a strange atmosphere immediately felt. Scratched walls and a line of haircuts adorn the floor. A gripping feeling pierced their hearts, but they tried to ignore it.

"We don't take any chances, maybe we should get out of here" Farhan said with a pale face.

However, everyone is interested in their interest in the riddle of the house. Rizky is convinced that this is just a trick made by homeowners to scare them. His excitement for adrenaline and new adventures rises as he invites them to stay. Maya and Dini finally agree, albeit hesitantly.

That night, they sat next to each other on the sofa in the living room when the door of the cottage was tightly closed. Everyone looked at each other with a fearful look. Tirta stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. However, before he could touch the doorknob, a loud rumbling sound from above shocked them.

"Sss...ssss...who are you?" that strange whispering voice was heard many times behind them. When they turned to look, there was no one behind them.

Fear begins to take hold of their hearts when they realize they may not be the only people there. They began to worry about their decision to stay in the cottage. But, before they could reach the exit, a man dressed in black appeared in front of them.

"You think you can enter without my permission?" asked the man with eyes full of madness.

"I'm sorry, we didn't know that this house already had its owner" Rizky said with a sense of fear.

They tried to retreat, but the man was faster. With a quick movement, he closed the door and locked them inside. The man's eyes looked filled with madness as he swung the axe he was holding. Slowly, he started approaching them.

Rizky, Maya, Dini, Tirta, and Farhan struggle to survive. They ran all over, trying to find a way out. But the man came as they tried to escape. One by one, they fell into the hands of the psychopath.

Finally, Rizky hides in fear behind the kitchen cabinet. He doesn't know what to do. His mind was empty, with no idea at all. His eyes looked out the kitchen window as the evening light began to spread.

Suddenly, with a resplendent movement, Rizky saw a burning torch across the street. He soon realized that it was his only hope to get out of the house. With renewed conviction burning, Rizky comes out of hiding and runs through a dark room towards the burning torch of the night.

The psychopathic man choked to see Rizky approaching the torch. His body trembled in fear as Rizky increased his speed. And before the psychopath realizes it, Rizky jumps through the torch with all the last steps she has.

Soon, Rizky runs to a nearby village, finds help and informs the police about the incident. After an intensive investigation, the police arrest the psychopath and release Rizky and his friends.

A horror story about a group of young people getting lost in the woods and spending the night at a psychopath's house will be a story that is always haunted in their minds. They go through a deep trauma, but also gain courage and a stronger friendship after going through that terrible experience.
