Stephen King shared a short story about ticks on Twitter that will make your skin crawl.

The author asked his followers if they "want a little bedtime story?" And with only three sentences, he freaked everyone out.

"My friend felt he had a hair caught between his eye and his glasses. He couldn't get rid of it, so he looked in the mirror," King wrote. "A tick was crawling on his eyeball. Nighty-night, sleep well."

The story has more than 8,000 retweets, and some are saying it's the 71-year-old author's scariest tale yet.
