My lilies are my most prized possession. Hand picked. I will only take the most supremely beautiful specimens. They must be white as an angel’s wings, and so soft and delicate to the touch that you must be careful of the harm you bring to them. Perhaps it is selfish of me to hoard them as I do. But as it is I who takes them first, it is I who shall enjoy them, their sweet, intoxicating scent and their soothing elegance.
To listen to the lily’s voice is to hear the sound of unrestrained magnificence, fine tuned to stir the soul into a passionate uproar. It is for this reason that I keep my lilies, one dozen at a time, at all times. I must hear the cry of my recherché beauties, bear witness to their bleeding, revel in the need they have for me. At first, even I, pious as I am, questioned this desire, but finding the answer proved such a splendor in its own rite. It is seeing my lilies weakened into such a state that I am all they have left, as they are all I have left, that I derive a satisfaction indescribable to one who has not experienced it themselves. But nothing is perfect forever. One of my lilies has wilted. I must be off immediately to replace her.

Nice. I love the ambiguity. Is he truly insane where he’s that obsessed with his flowers and personifies them or is he just a psycho killer/rapist with a fetish for young, pretty, white girls?
3 spooky 5 me
I really like how you don’t include a lot of evidence they are human it makes it seem like the main character is more insane
I liked this one. it wasn’t very creepy but it puts new perspective on the definition of madness. very clever using the lily metaphor. love it.
Yucky. O~O
It’s definetly interesting
I thought this was beautiful honestly
Okay, so bleeding must be rape, and wilting is well, they die.
one of the best pastas I’ve read in a while. I love indirect, suggestive plots, do more!
Omg I just got it. It gets worse now that I noticed the word her! He rapes people. And when they die or kill themselves, (wilt) he goes to replace them . And only picks the ones who are ” white as an angels wings.”
he rap3s little girls…. i watched. :(
dumb, 0/10
I have to admit, a genuine chill went down my spine. Has to be read 2 or 3 times to really get though 7/10
Lil shop of horrors much?
Lame pasta is lame.
Ehh not that creepy it could have been scarier or at least send chills down my spine but no…
Guessed the ending from the first line, but a good pasta nonetheless.
Definitely needs to be read twice to be enjoyed properly. I totally didn’t get the second (or probably primary, really) meaning until the second time around.
(Please tell me so if I was NOT the only one, as I was too lazy to read all the comments)
But did any body else get the feeling he was talking about sexual abuse, perhaps with the lilies being virgins?
“as it is I who takes them first, it is I who shall enjoy them”
The talk of blood and deriving “satisfaction indescribable to one who has not experienced it themselves” ?
Maybe it was just me or maybe I’m stating the obvious, but I got a distinct sexual violence feel from it.
Either way, it was most deffenitly BEAUTIFULLY written. Absolutely eloquent. The kind of story where I don’t shiver and cringe, but have an aching pang of guilt in my stomach that makes me sick with myself when I find that I am smiling.
high above thy brownie mountain, chocolate be thy feet
Reading it, i was thinking it could also be about women that he dates.
It could be seen as not creepy, just pessimistic romanticism
Mr. Welldone’s getting ideas.
Fear the Darkness
-Nex
so the Lilly keeper was obviously very racist.
or just couldn’t get enough white girl
Ehh.
I liked it better when the crazy people talked in a more insane way. Like the Mother guy from Oblivion, his diary was fun to read.
Am I the only one who didn’t think this was creepy in the slightest?
I thought it was a good story of a madman, who maybe killed his wife or something because he had a strange obsession for lilies.\\
Decent pasta is decent.
“i don’t understandddddd”
Lillies = girls. Wilted = dead
ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT
i don’t understandddddd
Really good but the poster is annoying for commenting on the comments.
lily period fail
“Gee, I wonder if he’s talking about whole people or just individual body parts?” was my question right from the very first sentence. The whole “OMG ITS ABOUT PEOPLE” “twist” is officially exhausted.
i like the insane amount of detail to how insane you actually are. holding the women hostage. and watching them bleed. hearing their screams. they need you to stay alive. i like. i like it a lot. (: doubt i’ma have nightmares about it though. thanks anyway. one of the best pastas yet.
Wait, is he talking about lillies or..
oohhhh.
eeeewww.
This was very well done. Didn’t give me shivers, but perhaps that’s because this is so beautiful I couldn’t be terrified. “What? Oh, you want to kill womin and collect them, you sick misogynistic fuck? Yeah, sure, whatever. You write pretty.”
The first half was so finely tuned, I actually smelled lillies (the flower, not the…. dead people).
Nice and creepy.
my cars name is lilly… she stopped run’n a week ago…
lol kill them white bitches :]
This was okay, but I felt it was lacking that one hook that really draws you in and creeps you out. It seems to me like there are two ways to do this; putting the reader directly into the story somehow, or seriously fleshing out the details of what’s going on, putting the reader there through vivid description. What I’m trying to say is describe the person’s madness a bit more, to give the setting some time to sink into the reader’s mind.
who was lillie
Referring to the “racism” in this ‘pasta, serial killers are usually pretty specific about their victims, often choosing people based on things like hair color or build. Really pale people could just be his…thing :P
Good pasta, I like.
MPD Psycho volume one, anyone?
Great. Very well written. Anyone who says its not specific enough probably still think Animal Farm is just about a farm, or that Space Oddity is about going to the moon.
i really like this allot i got i right away it kinda like how some talk about God’s children how he makes them
but i see how some o you got lost but mistakes will be made keep up the good work
he’s not talking about flowers!
he’s talking about people!
this is a boring diary
this was ok…It isnt the best but then again it isnt the worse
My diagnosis is that Poizn is clinically insane. She obviously needs to spend a while in a psychiatric unit, receiving extensive electro-shock therapy after writing something like this.
:D Haha, no, I really thought that this was a neat idea for a story. I could see the ending coming from a mile away, but that didn’t make it any less creepy. Well done.
Saw it coming. An okay creepypasta, but not really scary, just mildly disturbing. Needs more gore! 8D
I love it, beautifully written.
I actually know a Lilly i wish would…. wilt.
He only chooses white lilies?
Racist bastard.
Saw it coming but I like it anyway. :) And I have a character named Lilly. 0_o Poor little vampire bunny. T_T
Also, I’m pretty sure the whole “white” thing means they have to be innocent or virginal. Serial killers tend to be into that.
That was sweet…I really liked it.
Going at this one a second time I really really enjoyed it. I guess I am just a bitter creature most of the time lol
“It’s “Your choice” By the way.”
Anon, babe, if you’re going to grudge wank all over grammar, use a lowercase “b” in “by,” please.
I actually really like this one, otherwise I wouldn’t be bitching at the wanker. I like how you were more subtle than usual and I’m shocked that so few people went ‘hurf durf’ when you didn’t apply the point with a sledgehammer.
I didn’t get it at first but it’s starting to sink in, and the more it sinks in the creepier it gets. Well done!
@Mreee: Yeah, I know, I just noticed it and wondered if it was on purpose. But you’re right; most lilies are white and there’s probably no racism here.
*Just finished reading*
…
…
…
*5 seconds later*
OHSHIT THEY’RE NOT FLOWERS
Bravo.
The “her” is what did it in and made it creepy.
Glad I made your day =] Also, I didn’t even write the story that you commented on.
It’s “Your choice” By the way. If you’re going to be a writer (And I use that term loosely) you might want to learn at least some basic grammar skills.
=]
@Someone: Racism? Really? That doesn’t even make sense. Lilies are white. I mean sure there are other colors (stargazer lily, etc.) but the only color of people you could apply to a lily is pale white. The story would make no sense otherwise.
This was super good, I love the way it was written and the feel it has to it. I wonder though, as someone else said:
wilted = decomposed?
or wilted = dead?
I mean, you could look at it like he keeps them alive and kind of tortures them (makes them bleed), their voices being days of begging for him to stop and let them go, and then ‘wilted’ would mean one of them finally died, or you could look at it as he kills them right away (makes them bleed), their voices being their cries of pain, and then ‘wilted’ would mean decomposed.
I like to think of it as the first option, but I could be wrong.
anyone who thinks this story or others like it needs more detail or to be less vague isn’t a cognitive thinker.
Ooh, very good. I don’t think the whole white part is racist, because the guy IS a madman, so I mean, it kinda adds to the affect. Does that make sense?
eh…..kinda so-so ish.
It was pasta but there was no delicious sauce ):
where’s the flavor?
It was ok. Good concept, kind of poor in some areas but overall decent.
@Anon: Thanks for making my day. Seriously. I love it when people can’t handle criticism. If you’re going to be a writer (And I use that term loosely) either grow some thicker skin or an herocide. You’re choice. :3
No, srsly, I can not fully express how happy your post made me. I just can’t.
Well, I’ll leave the same kind of comment the author comments on other pastas.
“Shitty pasta is seriously shitty. Poorly written, bad ending, and an all around bad idea. I want my time back. Now.”
Your detail is good, but everything else is just pretty shitty.
PRINNY SQUAD RULES
Hello.
This tale is among the most finely crafted.
I am inspired.
Psycho Collector is psycho.
Saw it coming, but it was still nice.
THEN WHO WAS FLORIST?
This was epic. Totally awesome!
Oh, I just noticed this:
“I will only take the most supremely beautiful specimens. They must be white as an angel’s wings,”
Am I the only one who’s thinking ‘racism’?
@Cthulhu: You might need to rethink your definition of disturbing.
I got it, it wasn’t that bad, the concept was nice, but it could have been executed a bit better. There wasn’t a real sense of danger or a real disturbing kicker that really sets off a good creepypasta.
Ok, I am done playing the critic.
Ooh. Yummy. C:
I have a friend named Lily…
I’ll give her the link.
Glad I’m more of a dandelion.
Ooooh, nice one! I really didn’t expect that ending,quite shocking! More delicious pasta like this!
ummm…is the woman like, menstruating?!
I like it a lot, but a lot of people probably won’t get it. If there were a few more hints the the lilies were humans, it would be easier to understand.
:) Pretty good.. But i knew from the start what the ‘lillies’ were.
I reckon that was great, ignore those who say its too vague, i reckon that worked perfectly.
Although its not too creepy, its got the”oh shit” factor, and unlike many of the recent pastas, not too long…Loved it
@Maran Doll-Dead, I think, not decomposed.
Bah, reminds me of the song “Fear Garden.” You know, that creepy, high pitched Japanese song were the singer is some psychotic little kid who kills people, cuts off their hands and treats the hands as if the were a garden of flowers? *shudder*
Anyway, there should have been just a pinch more of information leading to think that the ‘lilies’ were humans, but I really liked this~
Pretty good.
Y’all are stupid… lol of course its about people… its prisoners, that the narrerator keeps confined in 12’s to hear them scream, and bleed. Wilted=Died… Now to replace it :D
perfection
This is probably the best story ever because it uses something of delicacy, something of small size to symbolize a larger, more morbid thing.
Ending was obvious, but it’s still a good piece. Kept lol’ing at only picking the white ones though, clearly we have an Aryan madman!
wow, that’s pretty creepy actually D:
Interesting idea, flowers… It was easy to get, but I guess you could still say it was a little vague, if you want. I would say I could see the ending, except that by the time I read the beginning it was already just about over. The short pastas are great, though usually I’m one for the longer stories.
Personally, I prefer stories that put me in danger, or at least make it seem like something much worse than simple murder is happening.
Simple Murder. Okay then.
:Shuffles away:
Love this. Rather appropriate for Valentine’s Day.
And yes, I did understand it the first time around xD
Well, I’m thoroughly creeped out and it’s only 5:04 PM.
Poizn, as I told you in the forums, I love this.
For Caedus, are you stupid?
The whole POINT was to make it seem like he was talking about a flower.
read it 1st time – WHAT
read it 2nd time – FFFUUUUUUU
love it
THEN WHO WAS LILIES?
I got it and it creeped me the fuck out.
I was guessing where this was going. I think many pastas on the “Madness” category fall onto this delusions…
But what really touched was the last word. It was when I said “Yep, that’s it. Creepy all right.”
Wilted = decomposed? Ewwww.
I liked it. :D
My name is Lily!
:shiftyeyes:
Mine to!
Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!!!
Dont lie. Your name is Schadenfreude
Shit, I forgot to say inb4needs2bmoarspecific/lessvague. :C
I could kind of guess where this was going from the start, but it still made me flinch. Delicious pasta.
Was really good. Then ending and the way it’s written reminds me just a little bit of Harold.
Hmm, This would have been creepy if you had put more evidence out that what you were talking about was a human. I mean, it was written really well. But at the end it seemed like you were actually talking about another rose. Not a woman.
Exactly
inb4IDONTGETIT
I’m sure this’ll get a lot of those, and I’m fine with it.
