Forgotten



Estimated reading time — 2 minutes

Memories. They’re how we know what has happened. Everything you remember goes in to who you are, why you act the way you do. It’s a shame that people are not afflicted by the things they cannot remember. Especially you.

Memories are funny like that. Sometimes, when something so wonderfully frightening happens to you, your silly mind blocks it out to ‘protect you.’ While it might think it’s doing you a favor, it kills me to see it take those things away from you. Amazing things have happened to you. Horrible things have happened to you.

Even if you’ve forgotten, I will always remember. I was there with you every step of the way. I was standing in the shadows, watching you. Tormenting you. You have such exquisite fear, I can’t get enough of it. Over and over, I put you through the most exciting times of your life, watching each time as you collapse upon yourself in mindless terror. You’re exhilarating. If only I could watch you suffer forever.. But that silly mind of yours. Each time, you forget what fun we’ve had and go on like nothing ever happened. You even read stories about horrific things, and you take pleasure those horrors as I do.

Yet, you could never even fathom how grand it is to watch you endure them. None of those stories could amount up to the terrors you’ve faced. I want to have more fun with you, and spend more time with you. I want to watch you screech in dismay again and again. I want to experience your agony a million times. I only wish you would remember the dread I put in you. I wish that you would remember me, and cry out in the night. It delights me thoroughly every time you see one of my abominations. You’re so resourceful, always finding a way to live without losing any of your limbs. If only I could watch you die as you scream, so scared for your life. If only the last memory you had was of me, making you drown in your fear as you begged for mercy, tears streaming down your face. I’d tell you I love you, and I would thank you for all the great times you’ve let me share with you. I think I would be truly happy as I watched you sink into your final, dying despair.

If you were smart, you wouldn’t turn out those lights and pretend you’re not hearing strange noises. You wouldn’t distract yourself and remain alone, convinced that you’ll be okay. Do you remember what happened the last time you did?

.. No, I suppose you wouldn’t.

  1. Ooooh this made me shiver! Unlike some folks, I actually am afraid of not remembering something I’ve done or something that has happened to me, especially if it’s traumatic! Mind games…. brr!

  2. Very tasty pasta! Not too long, but still filling.
    It is difficult, as a writer, to write something short and sweet and still have such good content. It wasn’t too complicated or wordy, either.
    Good show, old chap!

  3. ….And this describes my relationship between me and Ben Drowned. T-T

    Anyway, nice short story. >:D I like it. I shall name it…KITTY! XD

    Not really, I rate this 6/10. XD

    By the way, I’m going to read the CreepyPasta story The Arcade, so then….ONWARD MEN! TO THE ARCADE!!!!!!

    because I am such a forever alone…
    kill me now. make me feel the pain.
    please… make me suffer it slowly.
    Let me see you… death.

  5. I hate when pastas assume you’re reading them during the night or when you’re about to go to bed. I read them when I’m bored in class. lol. not creepy.

    1. People who love horror generally have a love hate relationship with fear. They love getting scared but hate feeling scared too. Darkness maximizes the potential to get scared because our imagination feeds off the darkness. So it makes sense to gear it towards night time when a lot of people read these things. But if it scares you in broad daylight than it’s amazing. Which this doesn’t do too well…

  6. Teh Moosen is NEAR

    I would agree. Twisted, yet not really scary because you never find a connection between the protagonist and the antagonist. That, when twisted enough of a connection, makes a good story.

  7. don’t tell me how to run my head asshole, I’ve done some amateur writing and I’ll tell you that a good way to get on peoples shit list is insult their beliefs or mind set, don’t call me fucking silly, I can do whatever the fuck i want and I hope you realize that you’ve never met the reader, so next time: use the phrase ”Most people”. Have a nice fucking day.

  8. the hash slinging slasher

    i was fine until the last few paragraphs, knowing already that my memory likes to slip away from me sometimes. It also didn’t help that the song i was listening to ended right as i started this story and i started to hear thumping from outside my flimsy old door. great pasta seriously!!! I love it when the author brings up “those noises you hear” or “those shadows you see” with luck, the reader will have had one of those nights where they go to sleep trying to ignore that irrational part of their mind. The vocabulary got me too. O.O

  9. The great thing about this one is that from a logical standpoint you cannot prove that it is fictional.

  10. WOW. mind f**k, ahoy. it hit’s me well because after a particularly good pasta at night, i usually turn on music, to shift my focus from the darkness around me. excellent.

  11. WOW. mind f**k, ahoy. it hit’s me well because after a particularly good pasta, i usually turn on music, to shift my focus to the darkness around me. excellent.

  12. Mistur creepy monster thing, it seems you do not remember me and how I made you squeal in terror. You know that one closet you don’t remember going in and for some reason avoid? Yeah, I hid in there when you came for me. You should’ve seen the look on your face, priceless. Too bad you don’t remember me.

  13. Ah but that’s where you are wrong.

    I remember it ALL.

    It’s all gone according to plan, my boy.

    You think you love pain torment and fear? HA! Compared to me, you are a pussy. Now that you think I’m a helpless wuss, who blocks out all the pain… you’ve let your guard down. And I’ll be coming soon.

    Turn around…

  14. “you take pleasure those horrors as I do”, made me want to go to engrish.com. Seriously? Just read the damn story out loud, and you shouldn’t have had any problem whatsoever with proofreading it.

    Whatever. Anyway, the last few sentences were shit-brix worthy, but the rest of the story was too awful to make it a real saving grace.. Repetitive, cliched, and not structured well.

  15. Let’s see…
    I forgot what happened?
    And it was horrific
    DDDD=
    The memories must be from…
    The day of the BLOOD. D=

  16. QuitStalkingMeGreg!

    Nicely written! It has that kind of… thing… to it that makes me want to turn the lights back on and search my house with a bat and a gun.

  17. I loved every word of this. Fantastic! The narrative was not only eloquent but convincing. You could feel their love for the victim and want to torment. Simply wonderful!

  18. I loved it.
    That was just… great.

    It really makes me wonder, like that deja vu story. What have I really forgotten?

  19. …o.o for some reason that creeped the hell out of me.

    Good job on the whole memory theme. It is quite the phenomenon the way the mind plays with events.
    These personal pastas are beginning to irk me, however. Perhaps it would’ve been better if it was a third person recount of something, with a personal ending.

  20. If I don’t remember what the thing did to me, then the creepiness is null. It was alright, though. I enjoyed it, even if it was a bit boring.

  21. As i got to the last paragraph i started hearing noises downstairs its like 5 am i put it off as my dad forgetting to turn off the alarm for the weekend

    “If you were smart, you wouldn’t turn out those lights and pretend you’re not hearing strange noises. You wouldn’t distract yourself and remain alone, convinced that you’ll be okay. Do you remember what happened the last time you did?”

    as i finished the last paragraph i realized my dad was out of town
    i was going to bed right after this pasta telling myself its nothing
    my door keeps opening and closes through air pressure i am shaking

  22. Rape My Shitter

    This is exactly what it’s like in every long-term, abusive relationship. Trust me, I know.

  23. Hmmm . . . makes me feel kinda nostalgic and sad. To forget something so horrible, I feel so bad for our sadist. To relive his/her fondest memories with no closure on their hearts desire. So close yet so far away. heh, I think I need professional help.

  24. A good pasta. I really liked it, if people wern’t in the basement with me i would have been scared shitless

  25. Pasta was OK. I could imagine someone saying these things to someone and making someone crap out a house. Overall, it was all good but it’s something that you’ll forget and anger this entity.

  26. The last paragraph is the best part. Could do a better job of recounting specific memories to really get the best flavor possible.

  27. So the narrator is some kind of supernatural Bond villain telling me his evil plan, while I’m some kind of secret badass who beats the living shit out of everything he throws at me? What’s scary about this? If this guy comes for me I’m going to rip his balls off and shove them down his throat. Hell, maybe I already have.

  28. i agree that this type of story gets a little repetitive, but this one still had a bit of an impact. good job sama, this pasta gets 4 out of 5 noms.

  29. Really…wasn’t a fan of this one
    It had a TON on potential, don’t get me wrong
    But it’s like “lol I want you to suffer”
    Well assclown, I’m not going to. Back off!
    All this does is instead of scaring people, it makes them went to fight the fear instead

  30. I’m not going to be a jerk and say this didn’t creep me out, because reading so many creepypastas has desensitized me.

    THEN WHO WAS SADIST?!

  31. The long section was supposed to be broken up but apparently I lost a line break when I sent it. Thanks for all the positive feedback. My pride’s all swelling since this was the first draft of my first attempt at a creepypasta. Probably would’ve been better if I’d spent more time it.

  32. Hey, I liked this one– it wasn’t so much that it was scary, so much as I figured out who the narrator is– it’s the Sandman! Who else has seen you almost die a million times that you’ll never remember?

  33. First time in QUITE a while something’s actually been creepy. Not the pinnacle of pasta, but did make me uneasy for a moment. Good job.

  34. *yawn*
    only certain minds block out traumatic events. mine doesn’t, and so this didn’t affect me in the slightest.

  35. yawn. ‘oh you’re secretly being tortured by me and i’m a sadist’.

    how about ‘you’ve tortured me and you might not remember or care but i do’?

  36. So I’m going through the worst experiences fathomable, even worse than the things we see here, and there’s no evidence to show for it? Besides, most people remember the things they go through. You know, that whole post traumatic stress disorder thing?

    Still, I liked it.

    *head explodes*

  37. Uhh… wat. If I keep forgetting about it, than what’s the big deal? Sorry, but this ain’t very scary ._.

  38. Boring. Just boring.

    Getting a little tired of “Narrator is scary monster in the shadows” ones. Just seems to me those are written by someone that is really pissed at someone (or everyone) and write it just for them, but get lost in describing how much they are going to hurt.

    Is like the writer sits at the computer with a thesaurus so they can keep coming up with new ways to say “This is gonna fuckin’ hurt a lot and you are not gonnna like it and I am gonna smile and laugh har-har.”

    Wasn’t creepy, nor disturbing, nor unsettling, or even really that interesting. Just “blah-blah you suffer, I’m doing it, it’s fun blah-blah”. Was weak sauce.

  39. Not “creepy” per se… but I liked it. It’s… cool. The narrator is so darkly amused/wistful. At first it sounded like the guardian pasta but I think it can stand on its own.

  40. Nice work. Short but sweet. No actual entity is described or seen – rather, the recounting of a dark entity twisting memories.
