Life is full of surprises, we all know that. Just when you think your story is over and done for, something unexpected happens that totally turns you around and brings new life right?
This time we’ve got some funny short stories with a twist for you, so you could experience life in short, sweet moments like these. Granted some of these are heartfelt and some are just plain hilarious, but one thing they all have in common is the fact they will surprise you.
While you browse through these short stories with unexpected endings, just remember that like life, you should never expect things to end without a mind blown or WTF moment.
What is a story with a twist?
For those out of the loop on what a twist is, a twist in stories is when you read something that you’re positive will go in one direction, and at the end it totally catches you off guard and surprises you. Some obvious examples are:
- A man hides his phone from his wife, gets home late, and acts weird. The readers will automatically think he’s cheating right? The twist might be that he’s actually just planning her a surprise birthday party.
- A woman walks in the street at night, she noticed someone following her and getting close by the second. Just when she turns around to confront her attacker ( because that’s the obvious conclusion right? ) the man stops her and says, lady, you dropped your keys 2 blocks ago, I am trying to help you.
We can go on and on, but you get the idea we hope.
