You’re the manager for a small store. You hired one of your friends, and you just found out that he’s been stealing from the register, stealing stock, abandoning his post to visit with his girlfriend in the back room while he’s the only one on duty, and the argument you had with him at the office just didn’t settle it for you. You pound on his door. When he opens up, he goes pale, soils himself, and staggers back, gasping for breath.
It doesn’t impress you, really; you figure he just thinks you’re showing up with the cops, until you step through his door and glance to the side, where you get a good look at yourself in the mirror.
Or at least, the parts of you that are still recognizable after that shotgun blast that your friend gave you at the end of that argument…

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run better run
Most convenience store clerks in many places around the US keep loaded shotguns behind the counter.
This is unrealistic. You wouldn’t be able to see yourself after getting shoot in the face. Even if you survived the knock back would drive you away from the mirror. Also it wasn’t smart saying that the reader was the one being shot since we know we aren’t. I can’t rate this highly.
In some pastas the comments are more entertaining than the stories themselves
Thinking logically most stores like gas stations or “Mo Marts” actually have weapons like guns loaded and ready to go within reach. So there isn’t any reason to not think there wouldn’t be a loaded gun within reach during an arguement..

WHO WAS SHOTGUN?
I like this dude. XD
Anyways, nice short story. Not very CreepyPasta, but still intriguing. Love this website and all the awesome and decent people on here!
Now, people are saying he came back as a zombie, yet he didn’t. I think he just used the mind of the matter trick. ;)
Seriously though, if whoever made this story explained the ending better about how he didn’t die, it would at least add mor realism to the story.
I rate this story 4/10!
If you think this rating isn’t very high, well, I can be a very hard person to scare the shit out of, or be given a story I thoroughly enjoy, so try not to think of my ratings in emotional perspective, but in a potential viewing or my version of things that don’t normally creep me out viewing version.
Maybe the store sold shotguns and he just grabbed a loaded one?
I was not expecting the ending of this. Love it!!! Wish there was a credit at the end!
That was actually pretty good…
“yay, i’m still alive!
and you’ll pay my doctor!”
What your saying is, I got shot with a shotgun and lived? Wow, I’m a boss! ;)
I really hate these "you" pastas. They’re unrealistic. "I" never got into a fight with my co-worker friend and got shot. It’s a good story, but this writing technique gets on my nerves.
I really miss these 2008 pastas. I mean they don’t make em like this anymore. The 2012 ones tend to be usually boring. It’s like people are running out of imagination.
hold on what?
oh my fuckdh god!! she’s everywherrrrrre. holy shiihy hit holy holy shut fuck fuck. NORA! I’m so sorry I have to make it stop though. Her name is Nora. She should be there soon
…hahaha
ok the twist endings are really getting out of hand now. Sorry
Her name is Nora. She should be there soon.
WHO DA PHONE?
Perhaps my friend missed and I am now covered in gunpowder residue?
I lol’d when it said soiled himself.
It seemed a trifle unnecessary.
Anti-Idiot: I really wish that there were more commenters on this site who thought like you. Or at least more with something resembling a functioning brain.
@missy nemo: I think you missed something important.
Don’t convenience store owners usually keep shotguns behind the counter for protection in case they get robbed?
Stop finding things to bitch about, imo. I hardly ever see anyone arguing the probability of a monster taking over the body of some little girl’s mother.
this pasta leaves me with a sore stomach; it was rotten and horrible.
You what’s honestly the most wonderful bit about this story? The fact that very hastily thrown in is the line “When he opens up, he goes pale, soils himself, and staggers back, gasping for breath.” He soils himself. That’s the most vivid image in the whole story. He craps his pants. Pooooooooop.
Sounds a bit like the latter part of Meet the Spy…
@ Heather
After a shotgun blast to the face, I think a piece of your mind is all you’d be able to give.
I’d give that bastard a peice of my mind after he shot ME in the face. >:U
I’d give that bastard a peice of my mind after he shot ME in the face. >:U
must have been some good sex with his girlfriend for him to shoot his boss/friend.
@ The Anti-Idiot
Shut up
….
@27, obviously he was a zombie if he was still alive after a shot gun blast!
Can’t blame the friend for using the shotgun really, guy was obviously a zombie to begin with and that’s what you get for being a zombie.
Should be greatful his friend even gave him a chance in the first place… can’t be expected not to be a slacker when your boss is always distracting you with his drooling and cries for brains.
TIME FOR SOME ZOMBIE REVENGE
guys he didn’t come back as a zombie, where the hell are you getting this from
Listen guys, during the argument, the shotgun was probably hanging on the wall. The friend grabbed it, shot the guy in the head and killed him. Later, the guy comes back to life and visits his friend as a zombie.
And this is fiction. You guys are actually complaining that this doesn’t make sense, when everything on this site doesn’t?
Hello!?
I thought it was more “Sixth Sense” … you know … “I see dead people”…
Scary! It gave me chills
Haha it made me laugh too, the bastard shot HIM.
for some reason this made me laugh
AND THEN JOHN WAS A ZOMBIE
This is more of a possibility than you know.
Was the friend Dick Cheney,by any chance?
Wtf? WHy did he shoot him? Shouldn’t it have been the other way round. My god what a lousy friend ¬_¬
That “friend” is a fucking bitch, IMHO the zombie should eat his brains.
zombie! *brix*

WHO WAS SHOTGUN?
I like this.
THEN WHO WAS FRIEND?
It would have more realistic if the employee had stabbed him with a letter opener or pair of scissors.
Well, to be fair there WAS a story in a newspaper in my area about a man who was yelled at by his boss for talking too much on his cell phone to his girlfriend during work…
Guy goes out to his car, gets a handgun he keeps with him, goes back in, kills his boss and four or five other employees. So the scenario isn’t impossible…
I think you mean “implausible”, but good point.
ZOMBIES! OH NOES!
My friend is a loser.
Cheney?
Oh, look at that. I seem to have a large, gaping bullet wound in the side of my head.
Funny how I didn’t feel that.
When you die from a shot wound to the head you wouldn’t feel it, you’re dead before your nerves can tell you you’re in pain
so they had an argument, guy 1 got shot, they parted for duty as if nothing had happened, and guy 1 comes back to meet guy 2 later, who is so shocked that guy 1 was shot EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GUY 2’S DOING that he soils himself and nearly faints. then guy 1 looks in the mirror and is like, “weird, huge gash in the side of my face…? did i get shot today or something? nah.”
i’m confused and this is stupid.
Maybe after he got shot, he fell to the floor dead. Later, he started moving again.
Not bad. A little unrealistic. :\
okay so yes this reply is 6 years late but
this is creepypasta my friend
do you think there are monsters in real life who require you to answer “the blood of the innocent” in a question or they’d eat you
So I’m a zombie now?
FUCKING SWEET
Well, suppose there was a shotgun in the room or somewhere nearby…the shot wouldn’t have to come as some sort of explosive (pun only vaguely intentional) end to the argument, but perhaps a bit later as a 5-minutes-of-planning kind of thing.
That’s an awesome thought – just this dude finding a shotgun, loading, and taking aim, all while some other guy is yelling at him without even pausing.
Maybe he brought it up on a hunting trip? Sounds dumb.
Who manages to find a shotgun, load it, cock it, and fire it; all during an argument. It seems pretty impractical. It seems more likely that he would have been killed in a more “heat of the moment” kind of way; such as a stab to the heart or bashing in the head.
