At the edge of the Pacific ocean, on some abandoned beach in the tropics, there is a large, smooth rock that sits just beyond the reach of the highest tides. It is not cracked or marked in any way, and the smooth black stone reflects even the faintest of light. It’s curved and formed in just such a way that if you are very careful, you can climb on top of it from the side, and stand on a flat area at the top.
If you stand on the rock when the moon is full and shining, and the water is at its highest point, you can see something in the sea below you. A faint shimmer of light, a flash of something you can’t quite identify. It gets brighter, easier to see as you kneel down and lean closer, over the edge of the rock.
Once you are leaning out further than would probably be safe, your left leg will slip on the slippery stone, and you will fall forward into the light. There is no splash, no sound; you simply disappear into the ocean.
No one knows what happens after you disappear. But there are some who claim to have fallen off the same rock, what seems like a lifetime ago. According to the earthly calendar, they were gone for one day, then washed up on another beach, sometimes half a world away. But their eyes are hardened, and they rarely speak anymore, only occasionally muttering of fiery paths and gibbering demons.

Godammit my pet rock is doing it again
I dunno i really liked thos
Still a better love story than twilight
nice pasta!!!! very yummmy
So… who was faint shimmer of light?
No location.
Not good.
Not scary. Interesting.
I liked it. Not exactly creepy, but I like the overall feel of it. I like the imagery that it evoked in my mind.
quit bitching about pasta! unless you have posted a story then feel free. only then will you know what it is like to have your work condemned and torn to pieces by packs of ravenous online roaches who can barely formulate a thought. if you do critique a pasta, at least make it helpful, not just \"pasta sucked\" or \"what was the point\" because then you sound dumber than a box of rocks that has to be spoon fed information. the point of author posting online is to attempt to entertain a portion of the readers of creepypasta. not all. some.
great pasta! loved the bit about gibbering demons and hardly talking.
Amen
Insert Doomguy reference here.
This sites comments get boring really fast
Its always
“No brix were shat”
“THEN WHO WAS (Insert random unfunny)”
It might be good when the first person does it, after 40 comments its a bit old
WANKERS!
:l wtf. Why would anyone climb on it first of all? And if they did wouldn’t they notice the perfectly reflected moon rather than some almost invisible light in the sea?
The water would have to be completely still for a perfectly reflected moon
lol. sounds World-of-warcraft-ish…
but the detail’s pretty good. I kinda like this one.
Pretty Lovecraftian, nuh?
Not creepy. Felt a little like an old myth. It was alright, I guess.
Someone opened up a god damn oblivion gate.

^^^^
Nice try, author. Pasta sucked.
Bland pasta.

NO THANKS………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
I liked how the rock/ocean combo seemed to compel the person to fall into the water, and how their eyes grow hard, but the whole “gibbering demons” phrase ruined it for me. It just sounds unexpected and out of place.
Bleh, these are so generic.
again ritual pasta. i demand a reward. why the hell would someone go through all that work to be emotionally scarred? :/
Well thats…different. I really don’t have an opinion on this one.
To quote Cale from Looking for Group:
Worst. Portal. Ever.
Okay, I’m going to be blunt here: Why is it that 90% of the people who use this comment box seem to be pants on head retarded? Seriously, they’re like inattentive five year olds who can’t follow a story unless everything is spelled out for them in intricate detail and there’s a retarded, Goosebumps-esque twist at the end.
As for the people calling cliche on this: This pasta has been floating around the internet for at least two years. It was one of the pastas that made the cliche in the first place. It’s like calling Lord of the Rings a boring cliche fantasy.
So yeah, I like it, and the majority of the people who leave comments on here are mongoloids.
So if you hear about this rock and find out it probably leads you to years worth of hell, why on earth would you go looking for it? wouldnt you just say “errr, no thanks, i think ill pass, unless you know of a rock that leads to sex world”
the mental image of a rock shaped like this is awkward in my mind. But I liked that it was short and to the point.
Shitty pasta, but one part that really irked me was “he slipped on the slippery stone”. Something about the double use of the word slippery so close together just sounds bad.
if it’s out of reach of the sea how do you fall into the sea from it? Jackass
So…
The smooth black stone is the natural version of the doom teleporter?
Or am I missing something here?
Ritual pastas are the cancer that is killing everything.
Worst ritual pasta ever.
Hello.
I have an overly high opinion of myself.
pasta sux
First it says there are “some who claim to have fallen off the same rock,” then it says “they rarely speak anymore, only occasionally muttering of fiery paths and gibbering demons.”
So if they only mutter about fiery paths and gibbering demons, when did they bring up falling off the rock?
Meh, it’s been done better before
First of all, no one is credited with this one, so stop making suggestions as to how it should have been done. I highly doubt that the author(s) is going to magically surface, read your suggestion and go “Ah, kk. Thx & bai”
Second of all, the rock is beyond the reach of the sea, but it is also curved enough that you can climb it, despite its smoothness. Is it not possible, then, that the stone curves out over the ocean? At least, that’s the mental image I got.
Thirdly, everyone knows that ritual pastas often lack a certain real-ness. However, with all the idiots out there that light their nipples on fire using spray deodorant, don’t even try to argue that NO ONE would attempt this or any other ritual. Protip: there’s no reward for scorching your nipples.
Lastly, you just lost the game.
Disappointed with the recent pastas. Boo.
BUT WHO WAS HARDENED EYES
Not good.
i read this like almost a year ago on a different web site, but i cant think of the name of it
BUT WHO WAS GIBERISH
To start, these pastas are getting old.
Also, if you’re going to do a ritual pasta, make it partially fathomable/ something you might be tempted or may accidentally do, thus making the possible, horrible catch all the more frightening. Offer potential reward and possible cost.
Finally, who the would go through all of that to spend a day in hell?
Why is it that lately all ritual pastas have you endure a horrible fate or a horrible experience for absolutely no reward?
In theory, spending a short time in Hell could teach an evil person firsthand the horrors of the damned and persuade her/him to change her/his ways so that she/he does not spend eternity there. One can only imagine if this was the author’s intent
No brix were shat.
BUT WHO WAS FIERY PATHS AND GIBBERING DEMONS?
So bland. No buildup.
Just, no.
“Gibbering demons” made me laugh.
I personally liked Fookmi’s conclusion, although if that is the actual concept of your story, it’s too underdeveloped.
Bland pasta.
BRIX WERE NOT SHAT
Bland pasta is bland.
what the shit. this is so no.
cliche as fuck
Lame.
first…
please oh god first.
So, it sits beyond the reach of the highest tide, and you can still fall into the water? So, is it just tall? Or far up the beach? Also, use of the word “gibbering” makes me want to throw a rock at you, since you probably just read Lovecraft or played D&D before you used it. Finally, almost ritual pasta + poorly done mythos = shit
not a bad creepy pasta. didn’t really scare me, but i get the jist of it.
Could have been creepier.
Why would you even do that?
when will creepypasta start to get good pasta’s :/
THEN WHO WAS DEMON
okay, so there’s a path to hell from the top of this rock. but why is it everyone leans out to far and slips off? didn’t anyone just mark the spot visually and climb down off the stone and go check it out. Also, this rock is just out of reach of the sea, so how do i fall off of it and then down into the sea?
Poop.
God damn ritual stories. The opening was promising, but it devolved into crap.
I like it.
While it doesn’t have the “oh SHIT” moment like some other creepypasta, it feels like a real ghost story. The type of thing you would actually be tempted to believe.
It sorta reminded me of candlejack DANG IT I SAI
Appetizer pasta?
bleh… this pasta lacks flavor
Classic creepypasta – short; to the point; creepy. Nicely done
Bleargh.
The words were put together nicely, at least.
this pasta also needs a lot more sauce.
Pretty interesting actually.
It reminds me of some philos- BUT THEN WHO WAS GIBBERING DEMONS
Short, sweet, and to the point.
i<3it.
And how do you know this? Can you provide a citation?
Oh I get it, you fall into hell.
BUT WHO WAS ROCK!
Grow up
