Home Alone

37,993 views

You are home alone, and you hear on the news about the profile of a murderer who is on the loose. You look out the sliding glass doors to your backyard, and you notice a man standing out in the snow. He fits the profile of the murderer exactly, and he is smiling at you.

You gulp, picking up the phone to your right and dialing 911. You look back out the glass as you press the phone to your ear, and notice he is much closer to you now.

You then drop the phone in shock. There are no footprints in the snow.

It’s his reflection.

    Holy turtle piss, that’s freaky.
    A small and simple, yet bone-chilling pasta. Easy to remember, so I’ll probably use this as a scary campfire story! :3

    This was amazing. I could just imagine that feeling, frozen with fear, not knowing whether to turn around or not.

  • Commented on September 14, 2013 at 4:32 am

    Short, scary and to the point.
    Remind me to NOT look out my window again anytime soon.
    Great Pasta

    Ooooh nice! It’s awesome that you can make it so short, but still have a huge impact. That takes talent, son πŸ˜‰

    This is especially creepy considering my computer is right in front of a sliding glass door to the backyard and it’s winter…

    !
  • Commented on February 8, 2014 at 9:26 pm

    I’m near the sliding glass door to my back yard, there’s snow outside, and it’s night time.

  • Commented on July 5, 2014 at 9:39 pm

    I’m gonna be honest here,I thought it was gonna suck considering it was tiny.But its actually a really good pasta! I like the idea of fhe reflection and the suspense when you left it at that! Really good -w- b

    Didn’t get it at first, then freaked out and checked my windows once I got it.

  • Commented on January 2, 2015 at 7:23 pm

    It would be better without the reader as the protagonist.

    !
  • Commented on February 17, 2015 at 5:38 am

    From the view of the killer would be extraordinary. Though it would be hard to relate to a murderer. Bravo!

    I’m a writer myself, with five pastas so far. I’d like to say i specialize in micropastas like this one, and this is one damn good one. I DID NOT expect that ending. I live in Michigan, where it typically snows September-April, and this story is terrifying. Keep writing, mate!

  • Commented on August 12, 2015 at 10:09 am

    wow! this was some pasta the best tiny pasta i ever read.

    Commented on April 17, 2016 at 11:16 pm

    Well, I have no sliding doors, it’s spring and I’d probably grab a knife and run towards him. So, yeah. Run killer run!

    Side note I think he was smiling because the character was being stupid because they thought he was outside.

    If I was actually there, I would have back-kicked him in the knees and would have started applying my Karate techniques.

  • Commented on October 30, 2016 at 10:19 pm

    was he the same person as “you” or was he behind them?
    btw this was awesome

  • Commented on October 31, 2016 at 12:07 am

    I just looked out my window, just to be sure…
    My heart jumped at the ending, like that moment when you realize ur parents found out you did something really wrong kind of jump.

    But if you can see the killer’s reflection, who’s behind you, wouldn’t you be able to see your own reflection in front of him? That’s why I initially thought that the protagonist was scared because he realised he was the killer on the loose…needless to say i was confused before reading the comments.

  • Commented on February 7, 2017 at 9:29 pm

    I personally think that this can be read 2 ways. Either the replection is the murderer standing in his house already or the murderer is himself, his own reflection,maybe a split personality and not recognizing himself at first

  • Commented on February 16, 2017 at 4:16 pm

    i am sory , i did not like it. I LOVED IT

  • Commented on February 16, 2017 at 6:06 pm

    Hate to be that negative, overly strict critic, but how does he not recognize his own reflection?

    At first I was thinking, oh yes, I know how this is going to go, predictable. But then the ending came, I love it!

  • Commented on December 6, 2017 at 8:40 pm

    this was my favorite pasta for the longest time, but rereading it now, one thing bothers me. Spoiler : why did you feel the need to say it was a reflection, the build up was so good and that soul crushing reveal would have been perfect if you just had left it at footsteps. like do you think we won’t be able to figure it out? Spoiler either way, still a great pasta! I give you a 4.5/5
