The Statue
You some how wake up surrounded by very tall hedges. You are very disoriented and groggy. As you observe your surroundings, you realize that you are in a very complex hedge maze. The hedges are 10 feet high and impossible to see over. There is a light fog dispersed throughout the area. You don’t know how you got there or why you’re there. All you know is that you want to get out as quickly as you can.
You feel a strange sensation as you explore the large maze. As you explore the maze, the fog becomes thicker and your heart becomes heavier. After several hours of wandering, you end up in what appears to be the heart of the maze. Your body freezes as your eyes lay upon a large stone statue of some sort of disfigured creature. The statue is missing one of its arms. Its feet and one hand look like that of a reptilian. Its face is deformed and difficult to see and clear features. But there is one feature you can recognize; a revolting, twisted grin with sharp jagged teeth. Your body is still frozen as if though someone had paralyzed you. The statue appears to be looking right at you from about 500 feet away. There is something very unsettling and disturbing about this particular statue.
You realize that you can still blink your eyelids. You blink once. It’s as though the statue had moved closer towards you. You think to yourself that it’s just your wild imagination. You blink again. The statue still appears to be moving closer still. You try not to blink anymore, but your watery eyes get the best of you. As you blink several times, the statue creeps closer and closer. It eventually reaches the point when the statue is only 5 feet away from where you’re standing. The grin on the statue appears to be larger and more disturbing then ever. It’s as though you can feel it breathing right upon your face. You are struggling to keep your eyes open. As your eyes water and become very irritable, you become fearful on how close your next blink will bring the statue. Your eyes close.

Hee. “Don’t blink. Blink and you’re dead. Don’t turn your back. Don’t look away. And don’t blink. Good Luck.”
Reminds me of a combination of the hedge maze and hedge animals in the movie/book of “The Shining.”
@ silv automatically had your name as my name thing wth
Wow. This one is pretty freaky
Very nice creepy pasta.
BUT THEN WHO WAS STATUE?
it was a "Weeping angel" from doctor who…
The statue was that scp alien on the game
Pretty much the exact idea of the statue has been done in tons of books and even an episode of dr who. not exactly original
I just found this site. Damn good stuff. I guess Dru is the only one who’s seen this episode of Doctor Who, though.
@Dru
Damn you, I was going to do the exact same thing!
Woah. Anyone else thinking Doctor Who?
Nice pasta. :3
This reminds me of the ghost in the Mario games, if you can’t see it, it can get you.
Is like them angels off doctor who.
=]
i don’t mean to ruin the greatness of this story but it is almost exactly like an episode of doctor Who but it was still better only because you don’t truly know in this one if he died
WHO WROTE THAT PIECE OF FINE ASS
what if you just keep your eyes closed? o.O if you dont open them it wouldnt be like blinking. and then u just stand there with your eyes closed….forever.lol. id rather die XD
:c not cool *brix*
Nice twist on the tale.
Twist on what tale?
It was exactly like the weeping angels from Doctor Who. No twist there.
THEN WHO WAS DOCTOR WHO RIP-OFF?
I liked the imagery. The ending was weak ,though
I watch Doctor Who, too, Brad H.! :p
‘Twas one of my favorite episodes.
It’s well-written though. I like it.
Awesome. These latest pastas have been awesomeeeeee.
I haven’t seen this episode of Dr. Who you’re all talking about, but this is just like a nightmare I had when I was little (except replace the statue with a creepy little girl in a rocking chair), so it freaked me out plenty when it showed up in my email :/
So um um, DR. WHO RIPPED OFF MY BRAIN!
…sorry, I wanted to be cool and bitch about originality, too

This device has indeed been used a good deal, but that doesn’t make it any less unsettling and/or frightening.
Then again, I spook easily.
Hell, that Youtube video with the cat that kept coming closer freaked me out… so grain of salt, I guess. Anyway! This worked really well for me and I enjoyed it and I guess I’m off to have crazy nightmares now.
That video, by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muLIPWjks_M
