Everybody was looking at me strangely, like they didn't know who I was. They were holding me down as I struggled, IT WASN'T ME!

Let's revisit the 'Two sentence horror stories'

But semicolons gramatically work in that context, I don't see the need to disqualify them. The two sentence limit is enough creative limitation as is, further restricting it defeats the point of the spirit, imo.
Laying in bed I kissed my wife on the back of the head before heading downstairs to make breakfast. When I get downstairs I open my phone to read the message from her "having fun on our trip, see you in a few days"
You exit the fallout shelter.
The crowd outside screams in terror.
My husband's always nagging me about using the handyman for every little problem, so I buried him in the garden. He was right--some things you have to do yourself.
She felt her dangling foot being tickled as she lied in bed. But it was her husband's snoring that jolted her awake.
I draw a big breath and open my eyes but I see nothing but darkness. I reach out but the only thing I feel all around me is wood.
Oooo, yes. All sorts of implications here. None of them nice!
Hopefully my tragic puppy accident wasn't too subtle for you guys. I tried to make sure there were enough clues to piece together what happened, but only just enough throughout each sentence so that you only realized what happened precisely at the moment that the character in the story did (which meant that I could not mention certain elements beforehand, like the character having a puppy). Getting the phrasing right was actually quite challenging, believe it or not!
Here's the quote for reference:
Here's the quote for reference:
I undestood your story as a pet dying even though the substance the character spilled is not familiar to me, so good work.
Thanks for letting me know! I was actually curious if the familiarity with the brand (of a chemical that clears out your sink drain and potentially fatal when ingested) or lack thereof would affect the reader's ability to properly understand the story, but I'm glad to know that you were able to understand the story even though you didn't know what Drano was. XD
So, what, do you test your jokes out on me and then bring the good ones out in front of your real friends?
Here are a few of mine:

you're nice enough to switch seats on a plane when asked by a couple
the couple proceeds to stalk you throughout the flight and post about everything you do on twitter

Those are all really intriguing and well thought-out. Good job!
Scary.
All day I went without lunch until I was finally able to dig into a turkey sandwich. It had no mayo.
He finally managed to escape the horror. He started to cry when he heard a voice say it's not so bad here.
Time is not measured but felt in quiet agony. I've long forgotten myself, but tied to this machine something endures; something, in love, they won't let go.
With horror, she realized the unspeakable truth. The skeleton was inside herself.
At first I thought the toilet paper wasn't working, but then I realized I wasn't wiping MY ass.
All I've been told since waking up from my coma is that it's November 9, 2016. I have so many questions, but the first I want to ask is who won the election.
Every night I count each of my teeth as I drift off to sleep. I've never made it past the third jar.
Every skeleton you've ever killed in a game wasn't evil. They were just trying to free their brethren from the suffocating meat suit which imprisoned them.
The boy munched hard on the pig bacon. His father didn't have the heart to tell him it was turkey bacon.
While spending time with my new girlfriend, I answer a call from a man who asks what I am doing with his daughter. She tells me that is impossible as her father deceased in a horrific car accident on this same day 7 years ago.
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
Okay, this is some of the most I've ever laughed at a forum post. Kudos!
It was her best friend, Hugh. He has had a crush on her ever since he was freindzoned in high school.
After the experiment failed, he had stuck needles into his ears to make it stop - but Cotton Eye Joe kept playing.
John introduced himself in his first post like this: "I'm just your average ERA user with a love for games and movies, an interest in politics, and a five inch penis."
Then he clicked Post Reply.

Cainthankrinus smirked greasily as he gulped down another fresh helping of Rowiniangorn's cursed half-elf Jwanithan-imbued rotting carcass with an evilness and gleefulness that only a seventh dark lord of--
That's enough; consider yourself published.

"What did you do to my wife?!" James screamed, sweat pouring from his brow as he felt his muscles tense and his stomach clench. "Nothing she didn't deserve." the dog said nonchalantly.
