Unexpected Jumpscare-gif Novels & Stories

Trick To say I'm nervous is an understatement. No matter if I've done something wrong or not, knowing I have to explain myself to what amounts to a group of judgmental assholes is never a fun thing to do. My foot taps uncontrollably on the floor, and I pull my phone out of my pocket, gazing at the picture me, Hadley, and Riley took on Halloween. It's the only thing that calms me down some days, and I feel like I have a fucking target on my back, especially at places like this.

“Coco must still be alive! Put a missing person’s notice across town. We have to find Astrid and Coco!” “Doctor Lear, someone posted the news of Coco's disappearance on the kindergarten's website. People online have been pinning the blame on Ms Calzier’s daughter, and our reputation has taken a hit too. Our hospital stock prices are falling. “They have been urging the kindergarten to expel Emmie.” “Contact the entertainment company my mother invested in! Tell them to drum up some scandal about a celebrity to distract people, make sure Emmie is safe from these rumors!” Immediately after that, Isaiah saw his phone display light up.

“You’ve always been attracted to dangerous things.” I pouted. “Don’t scold me.” He chuckled and ruffled my hair. My heart fluttered. I played the video. “Here, just watch. This is the part where I saw it.” Chris’s eyes widened. “What?! You actually saw it?” I nodded and gestured for him to keep watching, but right at the moment where the beast had appeared, the footage cut out. The camera glitched, then stopped entirely. “What?” I whispered, confused. I checked the device again. “No… no, I saw it. It was there.”

We stare at each other. Horror settling in. “He wouldn’t,” Liam says. But he doesn’t sound sure. “Wouldn’t he?” I whisper. Silence. Heavy. Terrible. My phone buzzes suddenly. I flinch. Hard. Unknown number. Again. My stomach drops. “Answer it,” Liam says. I do. Slow. Careful. A message. Not a call. A video file. No name. No words. Just a video. My hands feel numb. I press play.

This was the punishment. At some point, green smoke crept in without warning. The temp plummeted. I shivered, and he slipped off his cloak, wrapping it around me. "Don't be afraid," he murmured. Afraid? Not even close. My perception glitch had me kind of... hyped. "They're back!" Mia yelled. "Grandpa and Grandma are back!" The door creaked open. Two shriveled elders shuffled in. Chat Feed went wild: [It's them. The revenants. Nobody survives past this.]

The soda cans on the floor rattled. “Who even says that?” I muttered, pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose. The screen flickered. Once. Twice. Then everything froze. “What the hell…” I leaned in, tapping the escape key like that would do anything. The cursor started dancing—without me touching it. I ripped my hands off the keyboard. “Okay. Not funny, guys.” My speakers hissed. A pop-up blinked on the screen: YOU'VE BEEN SEEN. “Nope, nope, nope,” I muttered, diving for the power cable.

Closing the door behind him, he inserted the memory card. A single video file appeared on the screen. His heartbeat quickened. He clicked it. The footage began abruptly. The camera angle suggested it had been secretly recorded from a hidden location. The beginning was missing, and several sections appeared to have been edited. Ryan leaned closer. "This... doesn't make sense." The recording suddenly froze. The screen turned black. A sentence appeared in white letters. YOU DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY. A second message followed. YOU'RE BEING WATCHED.

“I don’t know what’s happening… I guess tonight’s stream is a limited edition. I’m a little scared, babies. You have to stay with me, okay? Don’t leave.” The chat flew by: 【Don't be scared, Harper baby!】 【I'll keep watching!】 "Who are you talking to?" The man who had just cursed, Mike, was frowning at me. Beside him stood a burly truck driver named Bob, a real estate agent in a power suit named Linda, a skinny IT guy named Kevin, and a couple, Jake and Emma. The seven of us had appeared here out of nowhere. 【System Alert: Welcome to the SSS-Rank Instance, "Last Wish"】

A terrifying jumpscare flashes with a deafening sound effect. "Ah!" Pure reflex kicks in. Her internal GPS locks onto the safest place in the room, and she buries her face deep into Elias's chest, hiding like a frightened turtle. Above her, a deep, rumbling laugh vibrates through his chest, tickling her ear. "And here I thought you weren't scared of these things," Elias purrs. "I'm not! But I wasn't ready for a sneak attack!" she mutters against his shirt, the gruesome image still looping relentlessly in her brain.

SCRAPE! Emergency lights flickered, illuminating the now-silent studio. The Tech-Zombie Alpha froze. The wires on its body went dead. Its camera lenses dimmed. Kevin's hologram vanished. It was completely paralyzed. [Warning!
