Short Horror Stories

Me and my friends online meet on a first-person shooting game called "GCS". We established our own squad almost a year ago and reached the highest rank together. Being on the higher rank though can be a bit boring and it just doesn't have the excitement of winning as to when we were still in the lower rank. So we decided to create a smurf account. A smurf account is like a dummy account... It can be use for practicing or sometimes for satisfaction. And we're doing it for the latter reason, for our own satisfaction that is. Why?To dominate lower ranks of course. I know it's brutal but, it's just a game afterall. Levelling from the game wasn't really that bad especially when you already know your stuffs and all the enemies are just noobs. One time, our enemy called as off for hacking. Of course we weren't hacking so he can't really ban as for that. I decided to ride in to his accusation and said "Yes, we're definitely hacking. This is a premium cheat none of you could ever get because you're poor." the other guys from our squad laugh at my remark. They started trash talking about his nationality and all. It's pretty normal for us so none of us mind it. Of course we won the game and I can tell it pissed them more. That was our last game so we proceeded to our discords. We were surprised when someone was added to the discord group without an invite. I asked them if anyone of them did and all of them denied it. We were on call and a man then spoke "Weren't you calling yourself hackers just now?" he then laughed and left the group. "Okay, what just happened?" one of us asked. We had no idea and so we decided to just sleep the rest of the night out. We agreed to never use our smurf accounts again and started playing from our original accounts. In the middle of a game my team mates would disconnect at a minute interval. Or so it seemed. Moments later. Everyone was silent. But then someone spoke from one of my teammates account. "Having fun? I hired a few hitman from the dark web." it was the voice from last night. I was trembling from my seat. "Don't worry... You're next. 3..." he started counting. "2..." he continued. "Who are you?" I asked over the call voice shaking. "1... Ciaō." That was his last word before I hear a loud bang from my windo————.
