Mystery Short Shories

I want mysteries. I want you to keep me guessing till the very end. I want to be on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what is going on in the story. It can be fantasy, horror, or even love, but it HAS to be mystery.

Rules.
1. No molesting the shift key.

2. Min word 500 Max 5000

3. Please comment on at least one other entry it's a nice thing to do.

4. HAS to be mystery!

5. Don't follow the rules and I will DQ your story.

Brownie points

You make me laugh because the ending is not what anyone would expect to see and it's hilarious.

You send shivers down my spine

can't think of anymore right now lol might add to this ^^

Ok well get going! Prewrites are allowed

have fun! Points may go up if I get a lot of entries
