Horror prompt

Babes, it's October. That means candy, really bad old movies, creepy commercials, and most importantly, never sleeping without a light on.
So give me your haunted houses, your demon possessions, your creepy little girls, monsters, whatever. Let there be blood dripping from the damn walls, voices from everywhere yet nowhere, and glimpses of horrifying things from the corner of eyes. I want our boys locked in a screaming nightmare of a reality and I want it to keep me looking over my shoulder every time I'm home alone after reading it.
John and Sherlock are favored, but would massively enjoy Lestrade, Mycroft, any of the rest of the cast being tied in as well.
Also, happy endings and slash are optional. (And anon may forever be in your debt if you manage with neither, but will adore anything provided regardless. <3)

He woke to a hospital room. He looked around blearily and saw the IV, the monitors, the florescent lights. God, not a dream. Real? Or hallucination? He didn't know

He pulled a brown object from the sack. It was made of soft leather, hand stitched. It's long arms and legs were floppy, hands mere rounded balls. The small head was squinched up in a smile. "I believe it's meant to be a troll, but it could be a monkey."
"It's cute," remarked Harry. "Looks a bit like John doesn't it."
"Yes, I thought so too," Sherlock remarked.
"It looks nothing like me," John said. Horror had made his voice break and it came out gravelly and stuttering. "It's hideous! Don't say it looks like me!"
It had been washed, but John could see the blood still gouted to the stitching. The disfigured face seemed to leer. It was too thin, too long, too wrong. The child!"Get it away," said John turning his head away. "Throw it away. Burn it
( ... )
Oh. Oh god. You mad, brilliant, wonderful filler you. You have met and exceeded my expectations. No actually, you've left them buried in the dust. And I'm still trying to calm myself down.
You pulled me in from the first post and by the time I finished my eyes were dry from being held wide and I was torn between breathing too rapidly and not breathing at all. My legs were shaking as I got up to go outside and smoke my last cigarette in some attempt to calm myself down. They still are in fact. It was terrifying, horrifying, and awing at how intense you managed to make this read. Just wow.
And the end of it. The end. Siblings, oh jesus. John needs to stay in the hospital forever, but somehow I doubt that that would end it. Screaming nightmare of a reality indeed.
Lastly, THANK YOU. Just thank you so much. I want to sing your praises for writing this, truly. My October feels much better now that I've been reminded me what an excellently written horror read can do. You are some sort of amazing.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. The thing is, when I was pregnant, I'd have these horror dreams about being pregnant with some blob of dirt or dead baby or thing. Lotta body horror there, only to wake up and know, hey, I'm really pregnant! I do love my kids though, and neither turned out to be a stillborn horror.
Oh man, I've heard from my own mother about those sorts of pregnancy nightmares. She told me they were incredibly eerie and frightening, the worst she ever had. Thank goodness they don't mean anything and you get your kids healthy and whole anyhow. Well, them and a wonderfully chilling horror story. :)

Putangina. Shet.
...suddenly I'm speaking in my native language jesus christ CHILLS MAN. CHILLS.
Wow, Sherlock in his utter and complete sociopathy is a scary thing. But the scariest thing is John not knowing which is real or not. I know how that feels, and it is terrifying to doubt your own mind/memories.
(er, yeah, I have this really fucking vivid nightmares, and most of the times I can't tell when I'm dreaming or not. FML)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK I'm here torn between wanting to hurl and wanting to worship you for writing such an awesome story in one of the genres I love the most. That was unexpectedly scary.

Just take this wherever it leads you, lovelies.

John felt a thrill of fear. He did this to me. Nonsense, his reason spoke up. It was all just a fit ( ... )
