Faucet



Estimated reading time — < 1 minute

You’re home alone. It is a stormy night and the power went out. You hear strange noises coming from upstairs. Drip, drip, drip. ‘Probably just the faucet’, you think. Drip, drip, drip. There it goes again. You run up the stairs and turn the faucet completely off. You walk back downstairs and sit on the couch waiting for the storm to pass over. Your phone loudly vibrates beside you and you receive a message from an unknown number. ‘Drip, drip, drip’, your phone reads. Scared, you reply, ‘Who are you?’ with no answer. You hear it again. Drip, drip, drip. You run upstairs and turn the faucet off. You then receive another text, ‘Drip, drip, drip’. By this point, you are confused and scared. You run downstairs, curl up on the sofa in fear and call the number. Ring…ring…ring… It answers. “WHO ARE YOU?” you ask.

And you hear it through the phone:

Drip, drip, drip.

    A bit cliche, but probably could’ve had more potential if you had just put more thought into it. It’s too damn short.

  2. The Itchy Chicken

    I don’t have an upstairs, which makes it creepier that I am hearing a dripping noise from my nonexistent upstairs.

    I hate second person stories.

  3. I don’t have an upstairs, which makes it even creepier to discover that there is a dripping noise coming from my nonexistent upstairs.

  4. Obsceneusername

    This pasta was creepy in a /real/ sense. I thoroughly enjoy the long ones (because the author has time to convey all of their thoughts), which makes short ones like this a commodity to me. I think it takes a certain kind of focus to write a (good) screenplay in 100 words or less. 10/10

  5. What bothers me about this story is the fact that the author can apparently hear a tap dripping in an upstairs bathroom while sitting on a couch downstairs. That can’t be normal.

  6. Read this while listening to the leaky faucet in the bathroom across from my room. We are haunted by a water ghost. He turns on the faucet whenever he feels like it. My brother has named him Terry. Apparently we are not the only ones Terry has haunted. :p

  7. Pfft. Screw being scared, I’d be like this:

    Random #: Drip, drip, drip.
    Me: Drop, drip, drop?
    Random #: Drip, drip, drip.
    Me: I understand… Just tell her how you feel.

  8. This little shit to stop has to stop texting me I only have so many and if I run out I can’t text bitches….
    And I love my bitches

  9. Either the dripping was coming from somewhere else in the house and the mystery caller was near it, implying there is a killer in the property (which gives it some potential), or this pasta was just plain crap.

    I choose the latter option

  10. Am I the only person that gets it or odes nobody think its scary? It meant that the guy on the phone was in his house because you could hear the drip through the phone.

    I’m not gonna say it’s bad, but…really.
    One way to improve upon this would be to extend the plotline, and another would be to pay attention to the various rules of paragraphing. However, I will say your skills in the fields of spelling and grammar are very developed compared to some people who write creepypastas. The use of repetition is appreciated, however, considering its length, I thought there was a bit too much ‘drip’. All in all, I give it a C-.

  12. I liked it. How someone or something was turning the faucet on and at the end you realize that someone or something is in the house.

  13. It’s your phone texting you, ‘dude come back, you haven’t turned me off the whole way. I keep shouting “drip drip drip” really obnoxiously but you haven’t got the hint.’

  14. Wow, this is really sad. Not a bad pasta but this could use a bit more work put into it. What’s up with the comments guys? Really, don’t make a joke out of someone’s pasta just because it isn’t as good as pastas written by professionals. Give this kid a break and maybe use positive criticism to see where he went wrong so he can strive to do better, cos honest to god I WILL FOUND OUT WHERE EACH AND EVERYONE IF YOU GUYS LIVE AND TURN ON YOUR FAUCET SO THST IT WILL GO ‘drip, drip, drip’ AND WHILE YOU’RE CRYING I WILL RIP OUT YOUR CUNT AND TEAR IT TO SHREDS IF YOU DON’T CUT OUT THIS UNECESSARY SHIT!

    1. You just wait. Our personal is working on it. You should recieve a call between 2-5am from our nightime plumber when he’s done localizing the source of the problem.

      Thanks for your cooperation!

  15. MY FAUCETS LEAKIN HOW FREACKING SCARY!! OMFG NOW MY LEAKY FAUCET IS CALLING ME AND TEXTING ME!!!! i think you should see a plumer about that budy…
    0/10

  16. Who was phone??? REally this is still on the site? Ok theres an atmosphere but no pay off. Were you just afraid of the cliche blood dripping? Well I would rather have that than the story stopping half way.

  17. 6/10.

    Decent take on the old “OMG THE BAD GUY IS IN YOUR HOUSE HE’S ON YOUR PHONE HE’S CALLING YOUR CELL!” thing. Would be better if the last line was clear that it was the “drip drip drip” of the character’s own faucet, and not just water dripping because he is haunted by some water demon somewhere.

    Er, sorry. *I* am haunted by some water demon.

    Bla bla bla 2nd person is lame.

  18. Shitty version of “Drip, Drip, Drip” mixed with “Who Was Phone”. Also, mods, why do you guys even approve “BUT WHO WAS X” comments? The old administration banned them for a reason.

  19. Wow… BlueBeans, always so volatile…

    If this happened to me in real life, yeah, it’d put me on edge, but I’d also definitely call the cops, not curl up on the couch and call the number. As a creepy pasta, I just need more.

  20. Fuck the negative comments…..i liked this one. Cause in reality I WOULD shit many bricks if I experienced this!!

      1. So someone in your house that you didn’t know was there, is texting you drip and turning your faucet on when you turn it off doesn’t at least intrigue you?
        The biggest problem with this pasta is that it was just a bit shorter than it needed to be, I feel that the author could do a lot better if they work on that small problem.

        1. A leaky faucet and a text from some prankster? No, that doesn’t intrigue me.

          As for the phone call part, I would leave. Clearly, whoever is doing this is upstairs where my leaky faucet is, so I would head outside, where my car is.

          You can leave a poop trail if you want, but I prefer clean underwear when I go talk to the police about the idiot who broke in my house to scare me with a leaky faucet.

  21. this one makes me want to pee this one wasn’t very creepy and awfully short I think I can see potential in it if you expand on the story that’s just my opinion
