Thanks
It’s 3AM and you’ve been up all night on a horror binge. You’ve watched your favorite horrors movies, read your favorite scary stories, and even attempted the old “Bloody Mary” trick in your mirror. You stretch and yawn, deciding now is about the time to hit the hay, so you move into your bedroom and lay down to sleep.
After awhile, however, you realize that you can’t get the images of some of the fictional creatures you saw on your TV out of your head. “Meh… I’m going to hate myself for this tomorrow,” You say aloud as you flick on your bedroom lamp, knowing that having a nightlight used to help get rid of your nightmares as a little kid. Within minutes you’re close to sleep, snuggled up comfortably under the blankets with your eyes closed and more pleasant thoughts on your mind.
…That is, until you detect something moving in front of the light, casting a shadow over you. You blink, beginning to turn towards the lamp before a rotting hand grabs hold of your shoulder. “Thanks for turning on the light; I wouldn’t have been able to find you in that darkness.”

I love this pasta.
October 9th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I luffs teh irony in this one. Good to have a funny pasta every now and again.
October 9th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Oh fuck twist. Thanks for making me scared of THE LIGHT asshole.
October 9th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Holy fuck this is a good one.
Irony! XD
October 9th, 2008 at 10:52 am
BUT WHO WAS HAND?
October 9th, 2008 at 11:15 am
…this just screwed with my entire world.
October 9th, 2008 at 11:31 am
LOL! the classic ¨if you can’t see them, they can’t see you¨. cute. i remember my mom told me that once when i was small so i would turn off the light (wasnt very helpful ¬¬) loly.
October 9th, 2008 at 11:55 am
WHAT AN LOL!
October 9th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
YES!!!!!!! Best pasta in a while. Love the irony in the light. ^^
October 9th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
buh buh buh……last night i couldnt sleep,so i turned on my lamp,i thought the demons were jsut me in a lucid dream….f-f-f-fu-fuuu——*faints*
October 9th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
that’s awesome. the person wanted horror and thats just what they got.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
I find it hard to believe that that hand wouldn’t have found him (oh, wait, it’s me apparently) eventually in the dark.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
BUT WHO WAS ROTTING HAND?
hahaha.
That story made me laugh.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
If the thing’s hand is rotting? Wouldn’t I have been able to smell it before it even got near me?
Either way… I would’ve shat brix.
October 9th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Oh god. This plays right off of the fear I had when growing up. Everyone’s thought this way before too, where once you see something happen on the t.v. then it will happen to you in real life. Like right after watching scream, I was scared half to death that some knife wielding psycho would break into my house and kill me. Great job.
October 9th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
no buildup, needed more suspense
plus could have made the mottled lurker much creepier(dont ask why I just named it after an enemy in a game)
October 9th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
LOL it wasn’t written very wel but made me laugh xD
October 9th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
well*
damn my typos!!
October 9th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Had potential in the beginning of the story,because everyone has been there. Ending wasn’t so great.
October 9th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Agreed
October 9th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Bitch needs glasses.
October 9th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Well at least it said thanks :]
October 9th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
BUT WHO WAS “THAT ONE”?
October 9th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
and now I won’t be able to feel safe in the light either.
October 9th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
BUT WHO WAS HAND?
October 9th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
THEN WHO WAS HAND?
October 9th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I don’t know which is more terrifying? The thought of something dead grabbing me like that or the thought of the power bill for leaving the light on all night.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Waaaait a minute!! Now what kinda “creepy” dead person would try to scare someone with the light on ¬_¬
October 9th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
WHO WAS ROTTING HAND?>
October 9th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
lulz
October 9th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Oh, Irony!
More funny than creepy.
October 9th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Meh, not so good.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
woo
October 9th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
i loved it! D<
October 9th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Wtf
October 9th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Hell, it’s candlejack, isn’t it? Damn, why did he have to turn on the li
October 9th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
lol and then she screamed and screamed, even though i told her patiently that i was just playing a joke on her. some people just have no sense of humor.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
I can relate to this pasta a lot. I feel the same almost every night.
Damn it, I may not be sleeping tonight.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Well fuck.
People just cause all sorts of trouble for themselves, dont they?
October 9th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
then who was rotting hand?
October 9th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
This one made me laugh. :U
October 9th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
haha
but there goes my main defense mechanism against the things that go bump in the night.
=/
October 9th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
THEN WHO WAS HAND?
Well there goes my time to watch TV in the night.
October 9th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
The ending reminds me of the ICP song Boogie Woogie Wu… lol
October 9th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
At least he’s polite.
October 9th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Do they go on an adventure later?
October 9th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Do they go on an adventure later?
October 9th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Is that you Jesus?
October 9th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Oh, the irony. I like it.
Too bad this is one of those second person ones, those very rarely work out, especially considering few people share many of the same habits when it come to horror stories. I really do thing this would have been better had it been written in the third or first person.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:59 am
I lol’ed at the last part. Its good though..
October 10th, 2008 at 1:24 am
…..
that is funny…. x3
October 10th, 2008 at 1:34 am
Now that I found you, if you don’t mind, I’d like my DVD of “Batman and Robin” back. You borrowed it 3 months ago and have yet to return it to me.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:02 am
Love the irony. Good stuff. XD
Fail in only that it wasn’t effectively creepy. Definitely more entertaining than spooky. Which, I suppose, is a good thing; if I’m scared by creepypastas in the dark AND the light, I’d be a wreck.
October 10th, 2008 at 9:21 am
THEN WHO WAS LAMP?!
October 10th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Nice one,It shows how wrong people are.Made me laugh,the irony is too precious.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Wasn’t man, swear
October 10th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
wow that was good i don’t think i,m scare of the dark any more but now i am scared of light dang it
October 11th, 2008 at 4:15 am
Short and sweet.
October 11th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
:C moomoon scared
October 11th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
AHHH

October 12th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
I lol’d…but only because it’s not me. if it was me i would’ve shat myself then fainted. [i hate the dark, but now i hate the light! thanks a fucking lot rotting hand!]

LMAO @ 64 n_n
October 20th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
@ DJLo0Na,
lol
October 20th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
This one actually scared me a little. I’m not going to be able to rest easy now, fearing the darkness, and the light. Though, then again, there are some things that hide better when concealed with light, instead of shadows. Think about that.
October 21st, 2008 at 7:20 pm
I love this and it is so Ironic!! I love it.
October 24th, 2008 at 9:14 am
OH GOD
October 28th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Actually, my best defence against the monsters was to give them the finger (older brothers advice). Worked like a charm.
October 29th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Ha! I hate sleeping with the light on. Now this gives me an even better reason to.
November 6th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
There are way too many people saying this already, but…
WHO WAS ROTTED HAND?
-shot’d-
November 8th, 2008 at 9:21 am
