But I really don't have time to read novels. Let's make things interesting by having you tell a scary story in 140 characters - essentially writing a horror story in a tweet.
Difficult, right? Well, that's the point - it's a challenge! But let's be clear about some things: Make it scary, but don't make it crude or too macabre. Be creative and have some fun. And it must original!
Oh, did I mention that all responses get one homework extra credit point, while the winner - determined by me - gets five points? Yeah, that's a thing. And it's for the second quarter, not this one.

*So, to me, scary movies aren't scary. They're startling. The knife-wielding manic that jumps out of the bushes doesn't scare me; it startles me. I sense no fear from that.
Saw, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and any of those "conjuring" or "exorcism" movies aren't scary because they do not create fear. There's anticipation, but no real fear or dread - at least in my opinion.
Scariest movie ever: Blair Witch Project. You never see a ghost, demon, or monster. The fear of the unknown. And seeing that guy standing in the corner at the end of the film? I was afraid to go into my room that night for fear of seeing someone standing in the corner. That's scary.
