Scary Dice Microfiction

As an experiment for Halloween 2026, I am going to roll storytelling dice, the scary variant, and see if I can create a story from the result. The stories are entertainment only, not for submitting for publication. I only want to get the creative juices flowing and provide entertainment for you, reader extraordinaire!

Sample “Scary” Storytelling Dice

The rules are:

  1. The story has to be less than 1000 words.
  2. The story must include all elements shown on the dice.
  3. The story will be done in a storytelling fasion, with no dialog.
  4. The story will be as clean as I can make it (I’ll try to keep it to PG).

At the bottom of each story is an image of the dice I rolled.

The first story I call The Best Vanishing Trick Ever. 3 minute read time. Discover how a magician found a way to vanish and not come back.

The second story I call The Power of Words. 5 minute read time. Hurtful words shouldn’t be spoken in a cemetery.
