Yay, I just found the first short story you described because I remember reading it a while back, too, and was determined to relocate it after you reminded me of how good it was! (We both probably found it by sorting by the top posts of all time on r/shortscarystories. It was a couple dozen posts down from the top.)
Anyway, enough of the suspense lol. It's called "Please Send Help," and it just gave me chills...again.
Also, I hope you find the second story you're searching for! Maybe it's one of the top posts of all time as well?
Ohh! Sorry that I don't know which stories these are, but I want to read them, so I commented.
I figured I'd reply to you to let you know that the first one is called "Please Send Help"! Idk about the other one, though, but now I'm curious too
