"I'm surprised you agreed to come out today," my husband said, "I didn't think you liked sailing."

"Normally I don't," I agreed.

"What changed your mind?" he asked as he unfurled the #sail, freeing the body of his mistress that I'd wrapped inside.

"That," I gestured at the body. #vss365

"Why are you being so #sanguine," her husband snapped, "They're going to kill us." He gestured at the island natives.

"Actually, this particular tribe doesn't kill women, just men," she replied.

"Wait a minute. You knew about them before we came?"

"Why do you think I chose this island?" #vss365

She opened the door to find her friend on her doorstep crying.

“I don’t care what he did this time. I can’t #console you any more,” she said.

“This is the last time. I swear.”

“You’ve said that before.”

“I can prove it.”

“How?”

Her friend held out her keys, “Go and look in my trunk.” #vss365

The wizard was crying.

"What's wrong?" his apprentice asked.

"I feel bad about the horrible way I've been treating my wife."

The apprentice grabbed a flask and held it out to the wizard, "Drink this."

"What is it?"

"It's the antidote to the #empathy potion your wife gave you." #vss365

"Is that a #wax sculpture of your ex-wife?" his date pointed at the figure standing in the corner.

"Oh, that's not a sculpture," he replied, "That's really her."

"You're joking, right."

"I wish I was. It was part of the terms of her will. If I don't keep her around, I'll lose everything." #vss365

She walked into the kitchen just as her granddaughter was about to start sweeping the floor. When she saw the #broom in her hands she gasped.

"That one isn't for sweeping," she tried to warn, but it was too late. The broom lifted her granddaughter off the floor and out the nearest window. #vss365

"Why did we stop here?" Dead fish littered the #coast.

"I need to repay a dept," his girlfriend replied.

"To who? There's nobody here."

Without warning, she pulled out a knife and stabbed him.

"To her." She pointed at the sea hag emerging from the waves, "Looking this good isn't free." #vss365

As I was about to #depart the museum, a guard stopped me and said, "Give me the idol."

I looked down and was shocked to see a little satanic statue clutched in my hand.

"Don't worry," the guard said, "It's not your fault. That little devil is constantly trying to hitch a ride out of here." #vss365

"Are you ready to #conquer your fear yet?" she asked.

"My fear of flying?" he replied.

"No."

"Snakes?"

"No"

"Clowns?"

"Your fear of being alone."

"I'll never be alone. I have you."

"Only because you won't let me go," she gestured at the urn that held her ashes and trapped her spirit. #vss365

"Sorry," the demon said, "But I'm not authorized to make a deal involving that much loss of life. That's above my paygrade."

"Can you help me find a demon who can?"

"Give me your phone."

She did.

When the demon handed it back to her she saw he'd downloaded an app called #Fiend Finder. #vss365

"Amy," he said, "Take that down to your #mother." He gestured at the pile of raw meat on the plate, "And be careful."

"But it's Sarah's turn to feed her," Amy whined.

"I can't feed her again until my hand heals." Sarah held up her bandaged left hand which was missing three fingers. #vss365

"Is this one of those found footage #horror movies?" Her new husband pointed at the TV screen, "I don't really like those."

"It's not a horror movie," she replied, "It's a documentary."

"About what?"

"About what I did to my previous husband when I caught him stepping out on me." #vss365

Her grandmother handed her an empty vial, "I need a sample of the pond water so I can test it," she said, "It's starting to smell off."

"Okay."

"Make sure you fully #immerse the vial when you fill it."

"Okay."

"And next time you want to get rid of a body, put it in somebody else's pond." #vss365

"Is that one new?" He pointed at the tiki mask with the #feral grin that was on the wall.

"No," the store owner replied, "The mask's features change based on the #intent of the next customer to walk through the door."

"Seriously?"

The owner handed him a gun, "You're going to need this." #vss365

"Why is that man glowing," her son pointed.

"Don't point," she replied.

She remembered when she asked her mom the same question after she started seeing the #luminous people.

"Everyone's spirit glows once it leaves our bodies," her mom had said.

"I though only you glowed," her son said. #vss365

"Remember me?" he asked.

"I do," the hag replied, "You asked me to help your #barren wife."

"I need your help again," he said, "Our son seems...odd."

"That's because he's not human."

"What?"

"You said you wanted your wife to become pregnant, you didn't specify with what kind of baby." #vss365

When she accidentally bumped into the strange man, an image of hundreds of chickens falling on top of her flashed through her mind.

Years later, when a truck transporting chickens crashed into her car, she suddenly realized what the #fleeting image meant along with who the man was. #vss365

When he saw the turd floating in the bowl, he quickly flushed the toilet.

The turd spun around but wouldn't go down so he flushed it again.

The same thing happened.

"Don't bother," the relator called out from the hall, "That toilet is #haunted. You'll never flush that log down." #vss365

In her grandpa's attic, Amy found an old box for a toy called #Misfit the Clown.

When she opened the box, there was nothing inside it except a note that said: Hiya Amy, Want to play hide and seek?

As she pondered why her name was on the note, the sound of giggling echoed through the attic. #vss365

"Oh, look!" She pointed at the leaf covered with liquid, "It's filled with #dewdrops." She leaned down and slurped the liquid off.

"That's disgusting," the little pixie flitting around her head squeaked.

"Why?"

The fairy pointed at another pixie who was in the process of peeing on a leaf. #vss365

"Why the sad face, #Moonbeam?" he asked.

"Why do you think?" she snapped.

"You don't like that our daughter wished for everyone in the world to become a talking pony with these cute tattoos on our butts?"

"Shut up and help me find that magic lamp so we can wish everyone back to normal." #vss365

"What's that, #dear?" The old lady pretended to listen to the doll on the thrift store shelf.

"What'd she say?" the girl asked

"She said she wants to go home with you." The lady handed her the doll.

"Mom! She said this doll..." The girl stopped when she realized the old lady had vanished. #vss365

"Michael, would you be a #dear and grab my teeth from my room?" she spoke with a toothless lisp.

"Sure thing, granny," her grandson replied before running off to retrieve them.

"I didn't realize dinner would be here so soon," she said to the bound and gagged man lying on the floor. #vss365

Before my most recent vss365 post exploded, I wrote a version of it for the shortscarystories reddit that featured an additional twist I thought was amusing.

"Hello, Kitty," she said to the cat sitting on the porch.

"That's #phantom," the realtor replied, "He comes with the house."

"Was he left behind?"

"Yes, unfortunately," the realtor confirmed.

"Why?" She reached out to touch the cat but her hand went right through him.

"That's why." #vss365
