It may not be October, but we're always down for some creepy content. That's why we were pretty stoked to learn about the subreddit /r/TwoSentenceHorror where people tell their spookiest stories in, yes, just two sentences. It lends itself to some unexpected creativity that we think you're gonna like.

We don't usually expect to get all teary-eyed from a Tumblr writing prompt, but we definitely appreciate surprises. This particular prompt imagines a situation in which Death decides to offer a game in exchange for our protagonist's life. Dungeons and Dragons, a game that can be endless, is quickly chosen. We follow their years-long journey and by the end the sappiness is supreme.
If you think your job sucks, then just take a gander through the following posts written by an amused and frustrated butcher who has, let's just say, seen it all when it comes to terrible customers. The stupidity here is truly amazing, people.

Getting trapped in an elevator is a worst fear for a lot of people. This guy lived to tell the tale in Snapchat form when he got stuck in an elevator at work. Not going to lie, we're a little disappointed that he didn't resort to pulling a Bear-Grylls-drinking-his-own-pee scenario, but we can't have everything we want in life.
In case you're in the mood for even more Snapchat hilarity, we got you covered.
Some stories that exist out there sound like they're straight out of a movie. They can't possibly be true, right? Not so - writer Aidan Moher tweeted out the other day asking people to share their most unbelievable true stories, and let us just say...the people delivered.
Well this is a fascinating tidbit that we'd certainly never considered before; people have different types of inner monologues, according to this shocked Imgur user. Some people hear full-on sentences and words, while others have more fragmented or abstract thoughts. Which camp are you in?

It may not be Halloween, but that doesn't mean we can't get our fix of spooky stories in the off-season. Scary stories are one of those things that most people enjoy hearing, but not experiencing themselves. They may give you nightmares but at the end of the day, that adrenaline rush is totally worth it. Now onto the creepy stories! And check out even more on eBaum's World!
Families are almost always dysfunctional as is, and when you spend enough time around the same people, emotions can run haywire. Jimmy Fallon asked Twitter about the most moronic fights they've ever been in with their families, and they did not disappoint. If you're a weird one and you feel like you need even more family-related content, click here for some memes!
Sometimes smart people do very stupid things, and that's okay because we can't all be geniuses in our off time. Everyone's injured themselves in moronic ways, such as sneezing and hitting your head against the sink and ending up with a baseball-sized goose egg on your forehead. True story, sadly.
We'd like to give these scammers the benefit of the doubt and assume that they don't know they're involved in a scam. Either that or someone who's down on their luck might resort to desperate measures to earn a bit of extra cash. Either way, this dude definitely picked the wrong person to mess with!
We all have embarrassing teenage stories that range from "oof" to "YIKES," but this kid might take the cake for having the most embarrassing story of all. It all started with a tweet from his step dad, who wanted to give the world a hysterical play-by-play. Scroll down to see what happens!

We often get so caught up in our own daily struggles that we completely forget that there are other people around us going through the same tumultuous adventure of ups and downs that is this crazy thing called life. Often it doesn't take much to improve someone's day for the better and just brighten things even a little bit.
Doing a few kind things is even more important during times when hatred and fear looms, for only caring and kindness can overturn those feelings.
But I'm really just paraphrasing becasue, as always, Tolkien wrote it best...
These people's stories go to show how far something like a simple compliment can go in someone's life, especially when it's most needed and unexpected. Just little things people did that they still remember and that gave some color to their world.
