  1. i was once walking through the forest when a bear came out of the wilderness and startled me. i was so shocked that i crapped my pants and cried while the bear mauled my insides. when i dies i went to heaven and Jesus was like yo bro i hate you go to hell…then i went to hell and got pounded in the ass by Satan as he laughed at my life.

  2. I never knew something could simple could impact me this way. The day he told me my life was going to change, my body fought to grasp the idea. I was startled–panicked beyond comprehension. I was dying. Cancer, they called it.

  3. I wake up, not remembering what happened last night. this feeling of being alone, dreaming of the worst situations that can happen. I blink and remember that my life is no longer like that. It is creepy, startling to imagine what could have been.

  4. Startled. That’s what I was when I discovered this site. Admittedly, I’m using Stumbleupon, so I shouldn’t be startled. But I was. I never thought I’d have to actually DO something. This is so demanding. I can’t even think of what to write. Should I try to write more? Am i running out of time? I don’t know. It’s all wierd if I just cut off in mid-sentence, but I NEED to finish… Unfortunately, time seems to be almost up. I am Kingturkey, and you have heard my statement.

  5. mouth dropping open like fish choking on water in disbelief,
    hair matted together with whipped cream and pastry crumbs.
    (and now we see the mystery filling at last)

    You just got pied.

    a/n note- HAPPY PI(E) DAY!! :D.

  6. The shower door suddenly swung open, but the house had been empty when she had stepped in. His face was unknown, but she somehow knew his body.

  7. i hate waking up startled. something somebody said in a dream, or maybe my cell phone going off; all of the sudden i’m shaking awake, thinking the worst. i’ve always been something of a fatalist. i think it’s a character flaw. (i’ve been taking note of those lately, writing them down in a spiral bound notebook.)

  8. I am hadly startled by your choice of word. Though I am constantly startled by my inability to type or spell. You’d think that I’d figure it out one of these days.
    I’m also a little startled at the ease with which I address you, a computer, a website, whatever the hell you are, as “you”

  10. She was startled, as she looked around the train, to see him looking back at her. It is unisual for anyone on the subway to be looking anywhere but the floor, or that one spot in space that only exists when they’re lsot in their own mind.

    She suddenly became very aware of her appearence, but was afraid to sho it.

    What a very odd thing about humans.

  12. I was startled by the sound of the door banging against the wall. I jumped and turned around to see who could have created such a noise. I looked, but no one was there.

  13. She sat and jumped as the door creaked open. Not because she didn’t know who was opening it, no, she’d known it would be him, with his big, rough hands and funny nose. No, what startled her was how disfigured the fire had left his face.

  14. I lept suddenly. From a cross the room something had just caught my eye. It was large, black, and for a brief second I had thought someone was standing in my living room. Turns out it was just my coat hanger…

  15. a woman looked into the window and decided that it was too much to look at. the man on the other side of the window stared back, startled that the woman saw him naked. two seconds later, he invited her in, and the startling began all over again.

  17. I was startled by the sound. It was a cross between thunder and a car crash. I’d been dozing in my chair. I got up to see what the problem was. To my surprise a young man covered in blood was wandering dazed in the street.

  18. I was startled to find a stranger holding my hand next to the hospital bed. I wasn’t sure i it was the drugs or the gunshot that left me waking so confused.

  19. the cat startled me when she suddenly jumped from the back of the couch and on to my lap. it became even more startling when she unleashed the fury of her razor sharp claws into my unsuspecting legs. I love my cat

  20. I was startled. It was the most ridiculously spine-tingling sensation I had felt in almost three years. The hairs on the nape of my neck rose; my fingertips burned as they brushed the warmth of my own naked flesh. In the doorway, he just stood… muddy, bleeding, and angry.

  21. Wow that makes me think of fright. I can’t help but wonder how much of startledness is just a carry-over from evelutionary hiccups. We really have no reason to fear predators anymore. But pranks still exist.

  22. caught off guard
    scared for a second
    one time my friend walked in on me in a bra and shorts and I was very startled

  23. he was scared shitless. literally, the shit that was once in his bowels, now resided in the gusset of his briefs. it was only the cat that strolled out in front of him, but what a cat it was. grey with piercing eyes and the fangs of dracula.

  24. Oh no oh my god there’s soeone in my house. sitting behind me. i’m flipping a shit. beth go get a knife. strangers. oh my god. hairs on the back of my neck. my hearts beating so fast. i’m too scared to answer the door. i have to call shay. i can’t get out from under the covers. shocked.

  25. He startled me as he walked in. I looked at him, he looked back. I was surprised when I realized he wanted me the same way i wanted him. It only took 10 minutes to get undressed.

    amanda
  26. She was startled as she entered through the front door, the lights dimmed down and music playing softly in the background.

    “Hello?” she called out, closing the door. “Anybody home?”

  27. Oh wow, what are the odds of this? Startled? It startled me. Ahh, Time is almost up. I hate being startled. This is startling.

  28. how i felt when i saw this word. how i felt when i first kissed debbie in the back of the school bus as we unloaded.

  29. have you ever been into the wild, startled fellow beast of hell and all that that has been taken from you will be given back to some other universe where antimatter and dark energy make it all fisible and apartent to truth and madness, my fellow departed.

  30. She jumped back, twisting her body away from the mess before her. Her throat collapsed, lungs and stomach heaved. The contents of both were emptied in an instant; breath and bile falling to the ground along with a horrified, strangled sob.

  31. sarah was startled by the knock at the door. how anyone had gotten through the locked front door and up the apartment building stairs to her door concerned her. she rose from her position lying on the couch and debated on whether to answer the door or pretend she was not home. but curiosity got the better of her……

  32. I was startled, to say the least.
    I didn’t think that he’d be popping the question
    On today, of all days!
    He even bought a pretty diamond ring
    And went down on his knees.

    I could have all those things.
    But she beat me to it.
    One, two, three, and there he goes!

    No marriages for me.

  33. Just walking down the street, whether busy or not, can be a daunting event. Anxiety can get the best of even the strongest of people, and I’m not all that strong. It doesn’t take much to make me jump… a noise or stranger even. Too much.

  34. oh! there is a sausage in my mouth, where did it come from. i don’t know! but i am sure the hell enjoying it. oh, lil sausage, where did you come from with your mustardy toppings? how otherworldly.

  35. I WAS QUITE STARTLED TO FIND YOU, SPRAWLED ACROSS MY BED NAKED, YOU SAID YOU’D NEVER COME BACK. I WAS SO HAPPY ONCE THE MELODIOUS SOUND OF YOUR VOICE WAS GONE.

  37. Startled, I sat waiting for the next move to be made. The squirrel dashed tree to tree looking for me. I knew if he found me it would be the end, and an unpleasant one at that.

  38. They came for me at three in the morning, and I suppose with most people I’d have been asleep. But sixteen years as a car mechanic have taught me a few things about spanners and such, and when one is going to crash through your window you get a feeling for it, hours in advance. I was already running across the hills when they came for me.

  39. I was shocked. Startled. The realization hit and…Bam. I stopped in my tracks. It blew my mind. All those cliches about worlds turning upside-down…Yeah. Just like that.

  40. I was startled by the loud sound. I was fast asleep, but it woke me up. That was enough to get me real riled up. So, after slipping into bunny slippers I shuffled out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Nothing. There was nothing. What made that sound then?
