After some review (and thanks to your criticisms) I have knocked several off my micropasta list and altered one (took some excess words off Grave Robbers). Here is the updated list:

I Slit My Own Throat Once
I slit my own throat once, but only so I could crawl out of my host.

My Grotesque Nightmare
I once had a nightmare that I was grotesquely wrinkled and began having unbearable heart pain. That was 70 years ago, and the wrinkles on my face are just as horrid as I remember.

A Buffering Movie
I sat down in front of my laptop and clicked play, resuming the horror movie as I put on my headphones. The spine-chilling scream forcing its way into my ears caught me off guard as I set down my bowl of popcorn. Only then did I realize the video was still buffering.

A Third Batch
Mankind failed to pass it's creator's test, and as a result of it's selfish, greedy nature, was destroyed. Only after all traces were gone did a new batch of humans get transported to Earth. The third batch is already being made.

Grave Robbers
Last night I woke up to the sight of my mother standing next to my bed. Her death isn't what made me cry myself to sleep; it was the recent reports of body snatching in my town.

Life of Lies
When I was younger, I had a horrible argument with my parents and went to bed crying. I had this nightmare that I was a patient in a psychiatric hospital, and my parents, whom I'd known my entire life, were actually just my caretakers. It's been months, and I still haven't woken up.

(End of list) I want criticisms on these stories now. I will end up adding to this list in the future so long as there is an actual list to add to, and they aren't all taken out for being too flawed. Please feel free to offer some positive feedback as well. Not only does it help motivate me to make new stories, but it will help me know what I did right in all of these pastas as well. Some really specific suggestions/ideas on how exactly I can fix these individually could be helpful too.
