READER, beware, you’re in for a scare!
If you were a fan of Goosebumps books in the 1990s you’re going to love this.
The author behind the horror novellas, R. L. Stine, wrote a short story live on Twitter yesterday.
Called What’s In My Sandwich?, the story is 14 tweets long and it’s slightly terrifying.
People call me a loser, but that's going to change. I was in a little diner downtown and I ordered an egg salad sandwich…

— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..I saw a hairy, three-fingered claw push a clump of egg out of the way. I saw two round black eyes. A fur-covered face…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..The creature poked out of the sandwich, sending egg salad tumbling onto the plate. It was the size of a fat beetle…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..But it wasn't an insect. It had a furry head and eyes that peered into mine. Before I could react, a second creature poked out…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..And then a third. My sandwich was infested. My stomach lurched. "Is everything okay?" the waitress asked…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014.."Yes. Fine," I said. "Could you wrap this sandwich to go?" Finding hairy things in your sandwich is gross…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..But I knew this sandwich would make me a winner. The sandwich would turn my life around…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..Discovering a new life form had to make me rich. I carried the sandwich home carefully and set it on a table…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..I didn't hear my son Willy come home. When I finally saw him, he had egg salad on his face…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..Yes, he ate the sandwich. If only I could have stopped him. Now the creatures are biting holes in his stomach…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..They are biting holes in Willy from the inside, poking their furry heads out of his stomach, chewing his flesh…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..Okay. A minor setback. But I'm not giving up. Willy is screaming in agony. The poor guy is terrified…
— R.L. Stine (@RL_Stine) October 29, 2014..I'm so excited. Where is my camera? Willy is going to make me rich. ##
