Have you ever attempted to write a story in only six words? And to top that off, a horror story at that? No, well if you haven't you may well be missing out on some serious creative opportunities.
Taking to Twitter, comic and animation writer Gail Simone asked her followers to write a horror story using only six words, and we have to say that the results were really rather impressive.
In a tweet, she wrote:
Today's challenge isn't new, but I still think it's fun.

Please use hashtag
#SixWordHorror

Needless to say, others also started to share their six-word horror stories, and they were brilliant.
Creepy...
