Impossible
I've been trying to tick off every genre available in fanfiction, and so this oneshot is my horror story. Since it's going to be Halloween soon, why not do a horror fic anyway?
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this fic; they're Gosho Aoyama's.
The lights were off in the dark apartment. All was silent except for a single voice.
"There was a mansion in Beika in a section next to where the park is now. From the outside it looked ordinary but on the inside…" Sera pointed her torchlight at her chin, causing Ran and Sonoko to cling to each other in fright.
"W-What was inside?" Ran stammered.
"A female corpse wearing blood like messy lipstick, her mouth wide open in a silent scream. Her new green dress was ruined by the gaping red hole where the heart should have been. A knife was clamped firmly in her hand due to rigor mortis." A dramatic pause. "But what was most unusual was the fact her right hand, which was holding the knife, had been severed off at the elbow and shoved into her mouth!" Sera's voice rose to a climax at the last word and both girls screamed right on cue.
Conan, who had been watching the whole time, sweatdropped. Why did he have to have a childhood friend who was like this?
The sleepover the three girls were having right now had been a bit of an impromptu idea on Sera's part, but nonetheless Conan could see the female detective was really having fun with it. Maybe she'd seen that corpse a long time ago…

At the park a few days later, Conan and the Shonen Tanteidan were just having a friendly game of soccer when the ball bounced away from Genta and rolled into a large clearing which hadn't been there earlier.
"Make sure you don't get lost, Genta. Otherwise that knife lady from that story might get you!" Mitsuhiko called out, an evil grin on his face.
Conan stared at him disapprovingly. Kids these days got so much of a kick out of blood and gore…

Finally, the Shonen Tanteidan couldn't wait any longer. It was almost dark.
"Guys! Come look at this!" It was Genta, and as they approached where he was, they could see he was holding the ball. It had a few splotches of blood on it. In front of Genta was a female corpse, exactly as Sera had described it.

After the police were called, Conan called Sera and briefed her on the situation.
"Was that story you told Ran-neechan and Sonoko-neechan real?" he asked her, trying not to lose his cool over a corpse like this. He'd faced so many corpses in much more gory situations than this, so why was it that he was freaking out over this particular one?
"I heard it from the lady, Conan-kun," Sera told him. "The one who died."
After hanging up and asking Mitsuhiko the same question, he was perplexed. Mitsuhiko's answer had been exactly the same.
Conan went over the facts in his mind: There was no possibility it could have been suicide according to Sera's story. There had been no one around except for the five of them, and Conan had alibis for everyone at the time of the crime - the lady had been dead for five minutes, and five minutes before the crime, everyone had still been playing soccer.
That's why he was freaking out.
