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:

  1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
  2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
  3. Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
  4. Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
  5. 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]
  6. Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

What happens when 32 men are stranded on an isolated island… with only one woman? This is not fiction. This is a real incident from World War II. After a Japanese ship sank near Anatahan Island, 31 soldiers survived and found shelter on the island, where a man and a woman were already living. With no contact with the outside world, they continued living there… unaware that the war had already ended. At first, they worked together to survive. But as time passed, tension grew. Jealousy, suspicion, and rivalry slowly turned the island into a place of fear and mystery. Strange deaths began to occur… and trust disappeared. This is the shocking true story of survival, human nature, and how isolation can change people [https://youtu.be/aHeaPHhWhVA

I took a chance, just dialog, no horrifying imagery, any of that. The whole thing is about 2 minutes long and could have been a couple paragraphs of text. If you're staying away because of how ugly it could get, the worst is already shown here. There is an unusual ending, but not horrible. Feel free to watch.
