He Waits for You
As the dead of winter approaches, you may find yourself alone at night, feeling isolated and abandoned in an all-too-empty bed as the night grows ever bleaker. Ghastly shadows, dancing across the wall. The crying wind battering against your window. An ambulance siren in the distance. And there’s no one there to convince you that you didn’t hear those gunshots. There’s no one there. No one there.
But do not be afraid. He waits for you.
Wait for the moon to hide itself, perhaps behind a gathering of clouds. Midnight is the best time to do this. Just close your eyes and hold your breath as you leave your bed. You may open your eyes once you exit your bedroom. Get dressed if you like, because you’ll be leaving your house soon. Take nothing with you, except for what you can keep in your pockets. Then, drive out of town. Drive as far away from civilization as you possibly can. Eventually, the air will become still. Then a dense fog will form just a short way down the road. You will hear nothing but silence as you approach it. Let it consume you and your vehicle. No harm will come to you from it. I promise.
Do not be afraid. He waits for you.
The fog will lift. You will see a dimly-lit motel, stranded and alone in the night. Just like you. As you walk inside, notice that there is no one else there. The only sign of human inhabitance will be a small key on the front desk. Take these keys. Wander the corridors until you find the proper room. You will soon know exactly where it is. But you won’t know why. Use your key to enter this room. Walk in, and lie down in the bed.
It’s no more comforting than your bed at home. There’s nothing but pure silence for miles. Death hangs in the air all around you. And it’s so cold. You’re still alone. And frightened. But it’s okay. He’s frightened, too. And it’s just so cold. Cold enough to hold the pillow close to your body, burying your face in its softness and embracing it. Pretend that it’s a lover all you want; you won’t feel any safer. But you will feel… warmer?
Open your arms, lift up your head! The warmth… is his arms. Two twisted, mutilated arms, tracing down your body. There he is. And he’s frightened, too. You can see it in his blackened, spherical eyes, fixating upon your face and twinkling with the light of another dimension. The light shines in specks from beneath his parched skin, making him glow from the inside. Bruises cover his decaying neck, as well as deep, finger-wide indents. It’s as if someone had tried to strangle him. He sighs, and softly caresses your face. The skin of his hands begins to flake off onto you, and you want to sweep it away. But you’re stunned, completely stunned by this strange creature that’s completely enamored by you.
At least you’re not alone anymore.
You’ll then gather enough will to take your hands, and gently lift him off you, placing him to your side. You get a better look at him. His legs are disturbingly crooked, having been broken in so many places, and healed in ways that they just weren’t meant to. And he won’t stop staring at you. Small, glistening tears drip from his eyes. He shivers and trembles, trying to form words with his torn mouth. You can’t tell exactly what he’s trying to tell you. It doesn’t matter for now, anyway. He will want to touch you, to hold and to comfort you. Whatever pain you have ever felt from loneliness, whatever sorrow you may have felt in your entire life, he feels it. His tears fall onto you, and he lies back in submission. He will let you do anything you want to him. He knows that no matter what you do, it will never hurt him as much as what the others have done. It will never hurt him as much as the isolation he’s felt in this motel. As you gaze upon his twinkling eyes, you may gain a sudden urge to mutilate him, and punish him for existing the way he does. But please, be kind. He loves you, after all.
Spend the night with him. He’ll let you do anything, and he won’t be able to speak. But be sure to leave the room before sunrise. He will do everything in his power to keep you from leaving. He will grab onto you, cry, and scream at you. Tears will keep gushing from his glowing eyes, disintegrating his skin even further. But no matter how much you pity him, leave! Resist him, and leave! If you don’t, you will be forever trapped, and doomed to live the same existence that he does. Do not let him follow you. Just close the door behind you, and lock it.
You’re alone again.
Next thing you know, you’ll wake up in your bed at home, some time after the sun is risen. The events of last night will feel as if it were nothing but a dream. Everything in your home is where you left it last. Your car, your clothes, everything. Then, if you are lucky, something incredible will happen. Within a few days, you just might meet a new person. This person has everything you want, and it’s as if they were made for you. Within time, the two of you will fall in love. You will almost forget the ghoul in the motel, and forget about those glowing eyes staring at you. All that will matter is that you will be in love with this wonderful new person, and they will love you.
But once they move in with you, things will grow progressively stranger. As you lie together in bed, you might hear a faint scratching on the door, and an all-too-familiar cry. But do not worry, your companion will keep you from becoming too worried about it. The next night, the cry might become a shriek. The scratching will become a pounding. And only you can hear it. No matter how hard you try to convince your partner of what you hear, they will only tell you to go back to sleep.
And one night, you will notice that the noises have vanished. Nights will be peaceful again, and it will just be you and your partner. But from then on, you will constantly look upon your lover’s eyes. You will notice a new glow in their eyes, twinkling with the light of another dimension…
Do not be afraid. He’s waited so long for you.

Well, that’s just cute! If he loves me so much and will be with me, why not?
I’d rather fuck my hand than a ghoul.
I’d tap that.
….
i dont get it
I really liked this one, what a cute creature. I want to try this one. But, at the end, did the creature kill the lover?
ehhhhhhhhh wat
Wow! I really liked this one.It remindes me of ‘Guardian Angel’ though, but with a little happier story line.
Possibly..the creature took over the lover so that he could be with you?
Now there’s a ritual that I can sort of get behind. You go spend the evening with the ultimate buddy who just wants you to be happy, meet the girl of your dreams… but just what happens then? Does the cuddly love demon possess them? Were they always the cuddly love demon? Are you going to get killed by the cuddly love demon?
Great Pasta.
Awwwwwwwwwww. I’d do it, if he can get out and become whole and love me again. That’s cute.
awwwww :]
I love this story!
that’s not scary, it’s depressing! D:
but what if i’m not gay
Good pasta. I want a person who’s enamored with me and wants to love me at such an extent, mutilated or not. Jack wants a skelly to love.
Oh, how sweet.
Creepy and a bit unnerving, but still sweet.
I really like this one. Nice job, Lindsay S.
?! I’M NOT FUCKIN’ NO GHOST!
aww thats cute, and kind of sad at the same time. i hope it doesn’t like try to kill you or something……………
awesome pasta.
but WHO WAS GHOUL (sorry, had to do it.)
Aww.
That was creepy, but really cute.
Makes me want to try it.
Too bad I can’t drive.
Shit. I liked it alot, the description of the ghoul scared me a little. At the last paragraph i went “OHSHIT.” That scared me pretty fucking bad
WHO WAS STALKER-LOVER-MONSTER?
This was both sweet, and creepy.
All the same, Ill do without the attention starved supernatural stalker.
This reminds me of the cannible over in Germany. Sexy.
That was really creepy, in a WTF kind of way. The fact that it offers an actual benefit that makes it actually worth doing this, as opposed to the common “Do this stuff! It will probably kill you but do it anyway!” pasta, is a good touch.
BUT WHO WAS KEYS? Couldn’t resist. Does it actually have benefits? I mean really, that hot chick that you met that “has everything you’ve ever wanted” now has the soul of a tormented ghoul man thing so is that actually a benefit? Honestly I’d feel like I was fucking Michael Jackson.
What if your a guy…would the ghoul be a women or still a guy?
WHO WAS NECROPHILE?
i dont know what you guys find sweet about this. no good can come of this.
This wasn’t scary at all. Not at fucking all. I don’t give a shit about you and your lonely life. I figured that since this site was called creepypasta.com, it’d be filled with creepypasta, but instead I get to read about how emo bitches can make their lives all better by spending an evening with a fucking zombie lover. Gay.
thats kinda creepy.especially the 7th paragraph.
oh darn im not # 17
But remember, if you stay the night you start to turn into it. That means that sooner or later it would come back and change you. So, ask yourself if you are truly willing to give up anything and everything to be with that one special someone.
You know what? I’m going to pass this on to anyone who is writing, has written or ever plans to write a pasta.
THIS is how a ritual pasta should be written. The end was generically obscure and unclear, but I’ve come to expect that in any pasta. But by far the best ritual ever.
But remember, if you stay the night you start to turn into it. That means that sooner or later it would come back and change you. So, ask yourself if you are truly willing to give up anything and everything to be with that one special someone.
Awesome story…I wouldn’t mind my partner being possessed by the ghoul, as I could do anything with it.
And, WHO WAS GHOUL?
This was amazingly delicious.
By do whatever you want to him are you implying we’re supposed to shmex him?
Regardless; I thought it was cute.
acctualy at the end they forgot to mention that we got married had kids…………then I bit the bitches head off.
Why can’t you take him with you when you leave the motel?
that was a sad pasta
it was good though
#36- You lie, You’re to damn cuddly.
I liked this pasta. Perfect for little lonely gothy girls everywhere.
aw, a romantic creepypasta. nice. if it were my lover’s body and just the glow in their eyes, twinkling with the light of another dimension from the ghoul…then….i guess its fine. i’d stil do him
lol
Yes…. WHO WAS MOTEL IN FOG?
Oh but that’s so sad. =[
That was a good pasta, but it made me uncomfortable.
then WHO WAS NEGROPHELIAC?!
I loved this pasta, I’d love to try it, but I’d rather not fuck a ghost
Awwwwww…:(
This was sad.
And kind creepy.
I still liked it. Poor love demon.
That was so sweet…
I wanna cry.
But I don’t understand the part about the scratching stopping?
PB’s Boys:
I think it meant that the ghoul possessed your lover, so he didn’t need to scratch at the door.
This one…creeped me out. I don’t really see how it could be cute, but whatever floats your boats
I cried
Has everyone on this site turned into a thirteen year old emo girl? Jesus Christ, you guys are pansies.
PB’s Boys- The scratching stops because the cuddly ghoul has taken over your lover.
WHAT WAS MECHANISM BY WHICH GHOUL ESCAPED ITS GHOST-MOTEL AND POSSESSED THE READER’S HYPOTHETICAL BOYFRIEND? If it can do that, why couldn’t it have just possessed a hot person, bought some novelty contacts to hide the freaky glow, and left its dumb motel before letting itself get fucked up by ghost bullies or whatever? Why do I have to drive to some gross motel in order to hook up with someone capable of clawing through reality itself in order to possess others?
kinda reminded me of guardian angel,very nice..kinda creepy
i am a heron. i haev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans
Where the hell is Mr. Welldone to let you guys know how truly infected with pansitis you really are?
hey im a faggot
Mr. Welldone is busy with bloodletting right now.
But wait. Who was pillow?
How interesting.
Snowden needs some cuddly love demon lovin
Back off!I’m not gay!
Snowden is a faggot
This was fucking stupid and you are all disgusting. Good day.
I’m kinda hungry now.
#51 – He can’t find you unless you find him first. He’s a rather self-loathing little imp, so unless you come and contact him there, he’ll have no idea that you know he’s waiting for you. I’ll admit, I should have put a bit more thought into this, but I really wanted to save time.
Also, just to let the other readers know, he’s not necessarily a ghost. “Ghoul” can be a word used to describe anything undead. Yes, I am a bit of a necrophiliac. I use that to my advantage when I write so I avoid creeping myself out.
P.S. – Because Snowden apparently hasn’t experienced the universal human fear of abandonment, I highly suggest that he should be taking his girlfriend shopping right now. Whoever it may be.
Also, if anyone has any further questions regarding my story, I’ll be happy to start a topic regarding it in the Monolith forums. You can ask there, as my response will probably be much faster.
ITT: Any girl that posts in favor of this thread is a teenage goth chick. Any guy that posts is gay.
would make sense if the new lover becomes abusive and you end up like cuddly demon
All you need is love. XD
*gasp* WHAT IF CANDLEJACK GOT MR.WELLDO
whadda fuaahhh,see ima guy,so i wouldnt try this,but if i got a lover out of it,like,a female one,then,hmmm,one hand,r get raped by man,but other hand,get new hawtness…ill be right back
im back,and i r type dis rl fast,no time has passed,but i somewho got a girlfriend,and a sore bunghole,brrrr
oh. my god. good thing i already have my love, otherwise i would try this. ^_^
i reeeeeaaaaallllly liked it. new personal favorite, right under “Notes”…or whatever the “make you 2D” one was called.
Hmm. WWP is approving comments but no new story since this one. I hope she’s okay.
PHONE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, POST A NEW PASTA SO THAT THESE PEOPLE WILL STOP GAYING ME OUT.
Well, that’s just depressing. Not the ending, I mean. The whole sad-eyed ghoul-guy loving on anything that will have him.
Trust me—I’m much deeper than my earlier comments present me as.
In order to get rid of the impression that the former comment made of me, I must now destroy this username. I’M A FLAMER! I’M A FUDGE PACKING MAN-WHORE!
@ snowden
i think this one was cute but i’m not a thirteen year old emo girl =P
i might just try that,too bad i can’t drive.this and the 33-rd birthday are the only things I can realy say should be tried. It’s a nice way to find your soulmate.Personaly I belive the goul created the ideal boyfriend somehow(oh come on,he’s been hurt in every posible way and survived,he could do that) tried to see if you like the puppet then enter it.Also the glow would be unique.
@ walking tornado
wow i never thought of the glow
like that i thought it was scary
That made me really happy, actually. Not creepy to me in the least, just really sweet. I liked this one.
Aww. thats cute! it really is.
except for the part where it described your ‘to-be’soul-mate.
that made me sad that he had to be so mutilated when you first meet him.
@78
Really?
I’m never gonna trust good-looking people after this pasta, who knows what kind of creepy ghoul thingy is inside that body.
WHO WAS OTHERS WHO HURT GHOUL?
Awww, I’d want to do this just to give the poor thing a night-long hug.
Maybe this may interest girls more, however I rather not have sex with another male, ghoul or not.
Well, you’re not required to have sex with him. The option is there, but I think he’d be satisfied with any sort of human contact, sexual or not.
@87
Indeed. But if that’s the case, then this site is predominantly trolled by girls. Damnit.
omg beautiful =)
the only thing that i found weird was that the “ghoul” (who is not necessarily homosexual) inevitably possessed the new lover. I think it would be better if there was a line after “Do not let him follow you. Just close the door behind you, and lock it.” something like… but the door was broken and didn’t close properly.
Could it be that you start to see in your lover what the zombie thing could see in you? Hopefully without the whole “becoming a mutilated ghoul” aspect. Just another interpretation.
I think the ghoul creates the person and then posesses it. My interpretation
Why do people assume the ‘do whatever you want with the corpsy guy’ thing means sex…if i can carry what’s in my pockets it would be an ipod, jacks, and a pencil with post-it notes to keep us entertained all night.
the bit that creeped me out was the ‘leave before sunrise’ part…why lindsay?! whyyyy?!
also if everyone tried this does this mean there are lots of lonely dead things wandering around? what if someone went to the same place at the same time?…and i’m reading too much into this…eek!
it was sweet though…i’m already with my love though, so no reason to do this [i would probably try it if not]
i really enjoyed this though…reminded me a bit of guardian angel which was definitely my fave pasta.
I’d hit it.
Well *I* liked it.
So it has to be a male “Ghoul” that waits for me?
aah! I love it!!! wait… does that mean you will eventually mutilate your lover, just like the creepy ghoul thingy?
i liked this.
i thought it was kinda sad too.
but still freaky.
i was thinking that the thing, like, was your soulmate. but i guess possesion would make more sense with the scratching and all.
THEN WHO WAS CAR?
I think that’s sweet. <3
why is everyone assuming you gotta fuck that ghoul, it said “He will let you do anything you want to him.” doesn’t necessarily mean sex
Just like me and Mr.Welldone. i would never try this. It is too sad, for me and for the ghoul thing.
everyone assumes you can fuck it because.. what else are you going to do with it? it can’t move or talk.
I’d shoot it with a beam rifle
@ 13
That’s a good question
Why the fuck do I care how an emo dead guy feels?
Regardless, this read kind of like a wish-fulfillment pasta rather than a creepypasta. I was intrigued, but meeting zombie Gerard Way in my hotel room and having him eventually possess my girlfriend is a nightmarish situation, but not creepy.
this has to be my favorite pasta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ 106
Gerard Way is fucking hott. And kinky. If he was a chick or a dude I’d fuck him, either way and I’m totally straight. But eh whatever. Good pasta =]
I found this rather cute.
ok that was funny but isnt it a crow?
That one is far too sweet/sad to be scary. Poor motel-ghoul.
WHO WAS MUTANT
Great pasta, I really liked this one, even though I’m not sure why…
to late i took care of him.and by took care i killed him. ……….bitch ruined my Christmas.
This made me listen to Virgine Dramatica songs and cut myself.
awwww, I want my own little loving dead guy! =D
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME IN THE MOTEL.
PLEASE.
I LOVE YOU.
.__________.
you fail
Okay, so you can do whatever you want to this ghoul, correct?
Why not kill him and get the fuck out of there ASAP?
I mean..what would be the consequence of doing that?
I see none..
He/she must be one horny son of a bitch to want to fuck a creeper like that.
I like it. (:
aw god, it’s so sad.
I liked this.
It was alittle creepy, but not so much to make you soil yourself and die.
Actually, it was kind of sweet.
I thought it was good.
Great pasta. Not overly brix shitting, but the cuddly part is sorta cool…
Still, Great pasta, a bit strange to fine on creepypasta due to the cutesy ghoul…
Tasty pasta ftw!!!
that would scare the shit out of me if i was riding in a little submarine and a giant angler dragon fish loch ness shit came at me like that.FUCK
Ohh This story is so adorable!! All of Lindsay “HackerOnHacker” S
stories are great!!!
@108/Brianna:
You wouldn’t get a chance. I sorry you, if you didn’t know it already, then let me tell you he’s been married for a little over a year!
Gawd look at the teenies piling up.
>:(
I’d do him.He’s sad. Make him happy. =)
OMFG ITS EDWARD CULLEN
I’m not gay, but having someone like that would be pretty cool. No buttsecks though. lol
If you’re a necrophile, this story is win-win.
All i would do with him is play go fish YEAH!! *puts cards in his hands*
hold up wait a min put a little luv in it lol o and ARRRGGHH im surpised you didnt die win you said candlejacks nam … oops
When it said ‘Do whatever you want’ I was thinking of some kind of crazy ghoul sex but then I guess there are plenty of people who would just want to beat something up for the fun of it. You’ve got to wonder who has the power here. Obviously not the ghoul or else he would set it up in an easier fashion in which to love someone and could be the lover from the start. Then the next question is if this happens as it should does it still work for other people or does the ghoul disappear into the lover forever?
So many questions that spring from such a good pasta.
BUT WHO WAS PILLOW!!!!??!?1/?!/1
this story made no sense….its all about…”you do this”…”you do that”…
at the end of the day i ‘wake up’ for sum reason…get hooked…and the stranger is the ugly freak i saw in my nightmare?…wats the point of that…i cud have summed it up in a paragraph…it wud go sumthing like this:
‘ahem.u dream of a shit faced son of a bitch….u feel like a hoe for sumreason….and u sleep with a bum!…one day , the tramp becomes that freaky son of a bitch u once dreamt of..the end’…..¬_¬
im a heron.,…send this to 10 people or i’ll fly into ur kitchen and fuck ur mum!……..hurry up…times ticking….
ahahahahhahaaaaaaa…………………………………….no seriously hurry up….
but wat about Mr Jenkins?…doesn’t he have a right to speak?……there there……one day u’ll be a great man……thinking ur gonna b a great man someday…u got mud on ur face…big disgrace…kicking ur can all ova da place….
wtf is this emo chick shit
What if you don’t have a car?
if he loves me that much the who cares if he’s a ghoul? not me!
<3 <3 <3
I just re-read this and I love it! Don’t know what I was thinking before, I guess I grew out of my e-tough phase. I love cuddling with my gay lover <3
Awwwww!!!
Poor guy.
i feel for him.
Honestly…I found it both disturbing, and sweet.
Tasty pasta. Not creepy, and I think someone cried in it, but I like the salt it lends. ^_^
Reminds me a bit of Benders Great Score.
And then Fry was the Lars.
I thought it was cute in a sadist, twisted way.
But realisticall\y, we’re all sadist twisted people.
So it’s all cool.
I’m just wondering, does he take over the lover and kill you?
Sweetly sick little pasta.
And i have the same questions as DJLOona.
Also, I agree with AnonyMan.
I don’t have a bed, I sleep in a couch. Or a window that wind can get to. Nor can I drive. And I live on a highway, so I hear no gunshots but Ambulances all the time.
Story makes people like me feel left out. I hate stories that are so specific like this one.
I rather like this one. The poor thing…
I’m scared.
I’d not mind becoming a ghoul. He sounds like a boyfriend worlds better than the last one I had.
Yep. I’d not leave him. Ghouls are teh secks anyway.
Aww.
Only downside I see is the chance that the human lover was killed off by the demon. But then again, the ritual doesn’t seem to guarantee finding the one true love.
*Facepalm*
Words cannot begin to describe how hard this pasta fails. It seems to me that the only lucid person here is Snowden. Seriously, this is NOT A GOOD PASTA!! Geez you guys.
Sexy.
Oh, thats nasty…
Then who was perfect lover?
Its pretty long for a ritual pasta.
For that, its 1/10
Why in the world would I stay the night with an ugly mutilated whore that nobody fucking wants?!
i wish i could do this now, but i can\’t drive
Aww. Poor thing. One day, I will try this.
This is… It’s not the pasta I normally have, but it’s a refreshing change. The ghoul sounds a little like a stalker. A body-snatching, lover killing stalker. Would not mind having this pasta again.
AWWWWW..cute. I would do it except for two reasons.
1) CLD (CUDDLY LOVE DEMON) must be a ‘she’ not a ‘he’.
2)I wouldnt be able to leave the motel. i would take it with me.
I think this is cute but I\’d probably cry and not be able to leave the ghoul… hmm… nope I\’d try to haul ass and after he takes over the person I get with later we can live together… have few kids and uhh…I don\’t know make it so neither of us is lonley again?
Enh, frankly if you have to EXPLAIN your entire piece down in the comments then you completely missed the point in your piece and failed.
This whole thing reminds me of yeah, sorry, some emo thirteen year old’s love poem.
That and the italics make me think of a shitty songfic I could read over at fanfiction.net because really? This thing isn’t that ‘grand’ or ‘romantic’.
At least, it comes off about as romantic as Twilight, if you ask me.

I ain’t afraid of no ghost
(ghostbusters music in the background)
awwww i wouldnt even care if he was dead :3 i’d still love him forever.
awwww i wouldnt even care if he was dead :3 i\’d still love him forever.
That’s adorable. I’d stay with him forever and be gay lovers. I think I’ll try this soon.
