What is the best horror story you can come up with in two sentences, asked Reddit.com. These were the two most chilling:
1. "I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, 'Daddy check for monsters under my bed.' I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, 'Daddy there's somebody on my bed'."
2. "I can't move, breathe, speak or hear and it's so dark all the time. If I knew it would be this lonely, I would have been cremated instead."
Icing with danger
To the reader saying the fun police had put up a sign preventing snow play on the side of the Desert Rd, Andrew writes: "I heard that contractors had only cleared enough of the road to enable cars to get through. There wasn't room for cars to park safely at the side of the road. And I'm not sure if kids should be playing right next to where cars are driving at 100km/h in ice and snow. Reminds me of a story my dad told me about a family in the UK getting in trouble for parking and having a picnic on a grass roundabout in the UK in the 1970s."
WT?: "I'm no Masterchef," says Matt Hancock of this web ad he spied, "but I'm pretty sure that's a chicken."
