Imagination
There it goes again. Something definitely moved this time. It was very brief, but out of the corner of your eye, you saw something. But wait. All the doors are locked, no pets, and your parents won’t get home until 10. So there’s no way something moved. It’s just your imagination getting the best of you. Sitting alone in your room, the only light emitting from the monitor of your computer, you stare into the darkness for several minutes. Just to be sure. Now you feel silly. What were you thinking? Of course there’s nothing there. What, are you 6? Go back to what you were doing.
15 minutes later, as you prepare to go to bed, you’re in the bathroom. The shower curtains shift. Wait… no. Stop spooking yourself. It’s just an overactive imagination, filling your head with what isn’t really there. You gaze into the mirror at yourself. You say it to yourself, slowly and clearly, “Imagination.” With a sigh, you turn the lights off and head towards your room.
Laying in bed, you stare at your ceiling, dark and foreboding, only the motion of a small fan disturbing the calmness of the night. A shadow from the light in the hall shifts. No. No, no, no. Stop it. It’s your imagination. Just that. Go to sleep, you fool.
But then, just when you’re about to drift off to sleep, at the phase no one remembers when they wake, you sense something in the darkness. It’s your imagination, leering down at you. With a jagged, macabre smile.

Could have been worse, I suggest the ending say, “Don’t worry, it’s just your imagination leering down at you, right?
Your imagination, with a jagged, macabre smile.”

Seeing as i was already afraid of the dark, the first time I read this one i had to sleep with the lights and informercials on.

That last line will always be my favorite out of any creepypasta.

There is a reason why I read creepy pasta in the daylight.

I’m loving this one. Screws with my head very effectively.

@ comment 8 - Agreed.
@ Bonerfruit - This is the reason that I SHOULD read creepypasta in the daylight.
Nevertheless, it always ends up being at 3:00 AM, when everyone is asleep and I am sitting, crouched, alone, and reading creepypasta whilst clutching a jar of peanut butter to my chest.
I really should change my habits, before something actually does happen.

Don’t blame it on me this time kids. I was at Jimmy’s house working on his creative writing project.

could have used a word other than “macabre.” that killed it for me. macabre should never be used to describe a smile. or just anything that your body can do.

…-waves at my imagination-
hello, i was hoping you’d come…lol
i really really liked this actually
but i agree, the word macabre for some strange reasons makes me think my imagination either looks like Boo from mario or the cheshire cat from alice in wonderland…but other than that
i really liked this.
and LOL @ 10 [Razdaz]

It’s your imagination, leering down at you. With a big lipped, frown, with a crack pipe hanging out its mouth.
September 19th, 2008 at 2:51 am
I lol’d.

I love this one, mainly because it just stripped me of my main defense against creepy-pasta induced willies.
September 29th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
