Rule #86
Add this post to your list of favorites!There are certain rules in this world that we must abide by. We don’t always agree with them, and they rarely agree with us, but if we are to survive to see tomorrow, we need to place our personal feelings aside and just accept things for what they are.
Take rule #86, for instance.
Rule #86 states that every time someone speaks your name, it creates a duplicate of you.
Consider that.
Every time your parents ever scolded you using your full name, they’ve given birth to another you. Every time someone at the doctor’s office told you the doctor could see you now, somewhere in the world, another. Every time a lover cried it out in a fit of passion… another.
Think about that. Think about this thing you take for granted. This beautiful gift given to you by your ancestors and forefathers. Your name.
Imagine living in a world where your name was a curse instead of a gift.
“That’s my name, don’t wear it out.”
You people are so funny.
For us, your name wears *you* out. It hunts you down. It fights for survival. Tries to steal your life to save its own. After all, who is the real you when you all bear the same name?
But then… those are the rules. Just one more in an endless stream of governing laws that warp and disrupt and diminish our world, little by little, piece by piece, one name at a time.
I just wanted you to think about that. Remember it every time you sign a check. When you introduce yourself. When you gift your newborn child.
Remember rule #86, and remember that we are watching you, and we are waiting.
Every world has rules. You test the boundaries of yours every day. Someday you will find a way to break those rules, and in doing so, you will let us in.
And then you will have to learn the rules all over again.
See you soon.
Signed,
X

I don’t like this one, the rule doesn’t really make any sense and is pointless.

The rule does make sense if you think about it. Everytime someone says your name, another you is created somewhere in the world. A copy. A doppelganger.

I think it has something to do with people having the same name… Like when you’re in school and you have two Vanessa’s or Oscar’s in your class?

I have a fairly common chinese name, I’m pretty sure I have at least 100 million clones.

I have to say i really didnt like this creepy pasta. It just seemed…Boring? And stupid? But thats just me. I mean thats stuff everyone uses. Hourly too. So its like “OMGS!!! SOMEONE IN ANOTHER WORLDS CLONING ME LIKE EVERYTIME I SAY SOMTHING RELATED TO MY NAME!!???” Lamee.

Meh. Maybe if it was something like, everytime someone uses your FULL name, first middle last and junior or senior or whatever, then it could work. But it’s impossible to suspend our disbelief enough to be creeped out if a clone is created EVERY time someone uses just a part of our name. It’s silly.

This must be some of the worst creepypasta I’ve read. It doesn’t make any sense. RAAGE

This really isn’t different, in essence, from a number I’ve seen. It got kind of hackneyed near the end. If I had a dollar for every pasta that said “we are watching” or “we are waiting”, I’d have a helluva lot of money.

Probably. Once I was old enough to get in trouble and have my mom use my full name, my niece was born. My sister-in-law insisted on giving her the same name as mine, so we have the same full name.
She is clone.

Ok, this was a great pasta, but come on, I could not stop laughing. The rules, come on.
Still, good pasta, I like the idea that the name tries to take your life.

Mehhhh. Good concept, but was boring in the end. It seemed like you tried to throw in bits of other creepy pastas (We’re watching, you’ll let us in, we’re waiting, etc.) It didn’t seem…exciting.

So that’s why my parents call me Jay when I was christened Jonathan. I knew there had to be a reason.
