Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.
Rules are simple:
- Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
- No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
- Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
- Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
- Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
- Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

I don't really see isolated to mean completely isolated, more along the lines of "it's a couple miles into town and ten acres between me and the neighbors" but fair enough.
Your personal feeling of a definition of a word does not align with the reality of the actual definition of the word "isolated", so you can think what you want, just realize that it's wrong.
