Goodreads asked Athelene Linton:

Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?

Athelene Linton The blood stricken eyes of the owl stretched like an elastic band, darted at Suzie as she ran through the cemetery. She had gone to visit the grave of her grandma who was buried beneath a large oak tree a few days ago. While gasping out of breath, her pounding heart threatened to jump through her chest as the owl's fluttering wings echoed behind her. As the Owl spewed his elastic eyes to capture her, she cried out for help!,
dry bones circled around her, moving closed and closer.She screamed, opened her eyes and found her Mom was sitting beside her bed.
