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.
Itβs his reflection.

Hooooooollllyyy shiiiit.
Short and fucking terrifying.
Yup definitely made me say “what the FUCK”
… Sounds like me, but you know, no smiling.
then continue what i should be doing as a killer
oh god
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.
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 π
Not snowing, still watched at the window by reflex. Good thing I had the shutters down π
Short and satisfying. π But… I’m scared to look out my window anymore. ;_; WHY ME. lol
Short, yet seriously scary. HELP.
I was reading this at 11:44 P.M. in my room alone…thanks a lot! Liked it!!!
just shit myself
I had to reread just in case I was wrong.
JESUS that was terrifying.
its snowing at my house… its okay i dont need to sleep anyway… let me just go grab my bat out of the closet
omg, i should stop reading pasta’s in the night, i get terrified
This is especially creepy considering my computer is right in front of a sliding glass door to the backyard and it’s winter…
I’m near the sliding glass door to my back yard, there’s snow outside, and it’s night time.
…Halp.
Shit man, short but sweet. Brilliant!
10/10
So I’m a murderer?! :b
Awesome
Love this. Heard it before I think. But…. hat to say at this point your not really home “alone”
holy shit the exact same thing happened to my best friends cousin only her cousin didn’t call 911 she ran to her nabore’s house then call ed 911
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
the solution is to go super saiyan on his ass
Home Alone! This is quite creepy! I got chills reading it.
kid you did a very good job on this one:)
Shorts like this are the BEST!!!!
OMG so sccaare
Damn if that shit happens to me ha I would still be frozen but tf people don’t care these days the don’t watch their backs all those bitches out there this shit could happen to you for messing with the fucking wrong guy so I suggest you find the right one
This scared the crap out of me.
Didn’t get it at first, then freaked out and checked my windows once I got it.
It would be better without the reader as the protagonist.
From the view of the killer would be extraordinary. Though it would be hard to relate to a murderer. Bravo!
Very good creepypasta i did read one just like yours
if that happened to me I would be skared
O_o wow
Good, although a more precise title could be used, nice twist though.
i taste a finger nearby
that was one of the best short pastas ive read. its really short, but its amazing at the same time. thats hard to do. KUDOS!
Oh my god! That was unexpected, quite a good little tale.
omg so scary! cx loved it!!! been a while till i actually got scared by a pasta in a WHILE!! thanks for the good story!!
You’re “Home Alone”, so there’s only one person who’s reflection that could be… ( -_γ»)
damn i would have shit my pants of fear 8-/
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!
wow! this was some pasta the best tiny pasta i ever read.
That was exquisite paata, I loved the noodles and sauce.
That’s some tasty pasta.
Could possibly be my favorite!
Brief but powerful. Nicely done!
CRAP OMFG WTF
I don’t really like small pastas but, this was AMAZING!
Nice dude, sent chills up my spine.
This one is a classic! The example of what a short pasta should be!
I have to stop reading creepypastas when I’m home alone it’s not gonna end well .-.
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.
i laughed so hard at this π
Wow. SOOOO creepy! Thank GOD I neither have a sliding glass door or live where there’s snow. That one won’t leave me for a while….
THAT was disappointing.
i think i just pooped myself….
OMG Hollyshit I froze for a good few seconds when I read the end!
If I was actually there, I would have back-kicked him in the knees and would have started applying my Karate techniques.
was he the same person as “you” or was he behind them?
btw this was awesome
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.
Good thing there’s no snow where I come from. Great scary read!
Really good!! =0
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
i am sory , i did not like it. I LOVED IT
Hate to be that negative, overly strict critic, but how does he not recognize his own reflection?
very creepy!
*Que dramatic slasher music.*
Disappointed, I saw that coming from a mile away. Why.
My god! You have my compliments. It was one of the best stories I’ve read here.
Genius.
I stay home alone a lot. thank god it doesn’t snow where I live!
At first I was thinking, oh yes, I know how this is going to go, predictable. But then the ending came, I love it!
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
