While brushing your teeth in the evening, you catch a glimpse of your wall mirror, covered in fingerprints.
Annoyed, you grab a towel and rub at them. They remain.

Upon closer inspection, you realize that they seem to be on the other side of the glass.

This is creepy.
one question though…wouldn’t your other self wipe away the fingerprints?
Philosophy
*Yawn*
…and?
…so?
I’m sorry, I’m just really confused. So what? Did the fingerprints do anything? I mean… what’s so scary?
Also, you have to stop listening to the ADD bastards who think “short and sweet” is better. When I eat, I want to get full. Appetizers don’t cut it for me. Write for the intelligent people who have attention spans and don’t need everything spoon fed to them. It’s really not fulfilling to get compliments from idiots who think three paragraphs is tl;dr.
I don’t think this would be better if it was longer. I don’t want to know what “I” did after seeing the fingerprints; just want to leave it up to my imagination.
Its the phantom of the Opera. He can be in Frickin mirrors.
What I got from this story: You have OCD. And theres a creep that plays with himself to watching you brush your teeth. Intersting…
Mirrors is my favourite movie
Just Kidding I love long pasta’s because there epik and I suck at life :( :)
WHAT’S WITH ALL THE LONG PASTAS!?
it would have been so much better if it was shorter
BUT WHO WAS MIRROR?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Oh hey, my mirror is covered in fingerprints…
liek teh film!
omg guys! fact is MIRRORING fiction.
The original version was bland, Mynx’s version was better, and Meeee’s version ruined it. PHONE, I suggest that you take this down and post Mynx’s one, it is much better. I apologise if I sound too bossy, it is not my intention at all.
Fear the Darkness

lol wierd :o
but it would be me when i changed the mirrors so my fingerprints are on the other side where i used to hold/lift it :P
ooooh, creepy! short but sweet.
i’d give it 9/10.
lol…like the movie named mirrors kinda,…
BUT WHO WAS TOOTHBRUSH?!
Goddamnit, Alice, stop dirtying my mirror every time you go through the looking glass.
For the people saying “No, the reflection would wipe them away!”…
If the reflection did everything that you did, then how did the prints get there in the first place. Im gonna do a quick edit to Mynx’s post. All credit goes to him, other than my edit (Obviously)
—————————————————————————–
It’s a late night, and before retiring to sleep, you enter the bathroom and pick up your toothbrush. Brushing your teeth, you look up at your large wall mirror. Arching an eyebrow in confusion, you notice a set of fingerprints.
Thinking nothing of it, you take a towel, slightly dampen it with some water, and wipe at them. They are still there.
Taking the towel in both hands, toothbrush hanging in mouth, you wipe and wipe, but they still remain. Giving up, you look closer at them.
They’re on the other side of the mirror. Looking up you notice that your reflection is holding neither a toothbrush nor a towel. It stands there, its unearthly gaze fixed on you.
This was not original at all, but it still creped me out. Nice, short and creepy.
neat!
except i’m not pussy enough to get annoyed at fingerprints on the mirror.
Ooh… Because of this…
I always feel like somebody’s WATCHING ME!!
And I can’t get no privacy.
but who was teeth? just kidding. cool story bro.
Nice, very creepy
to elaborate; my point is that one way or the other the fingerprints are going to get wiped off, whether by myself or my reflection, regardless of what side they actually exist on
if i wiped the fingerprints on my side of the mirror, my reflection would wipe them from his side of the mirror. this doesnt work.
I like Mynx’s longer version better.
Damnit. Kiefer Sutherland needs to keep his hands off my mirrors.
cool! =)
Very nice. Viva las pastas cortas!
BUT WHO WAS MIRROR?
wat da hel. you tell this like it was fact. that was cool and weird. hahhahaa!
the twist is that its a window.SO THERE!
i agree with uber evil (dont get the name) thats a perv on the other side of the window. i guess dorks(geeks,nerds.jits,evil genius,etc) figured out another way to be pedophiles lol
I agree with Lilhorn.Short and sweet,while still being creepy.
I liked it.
That is most lovely, implying that there is life on the other side of the mirror, are we?
shit I forgot to wear gloves sorry peoples I’ll clean it up in the morning Bye~
ps singing with your hairbrush is really annoying please stop,
Thanks
it was teddy ruxpin
stupid mirror prints! They always seem to appear when I have company coming over.
Creepy.
I’ve written something along these lines before.
: |
Good job. :’D
I love this one. It’s cool . I think of it as a movie setting.
This happened to me once
Except I just used a normal washcloth and didn’t wet it
I was like, 8 at the time so I shat bricks thinking the washcloth would’ve done it if it were on this side of the mirror.
the prinny squad approves, dood.
Wow.. That is weird.. I’ll be totally freaked out also..
Alot of people complain about this pasta. “Too short” “Needs to be rewritten” etc. So, to shut you guys up, I re-wrote it for fun, and practice.

Another (re-written) Mirror Story
It’s a late night, and before retiring to sleep, you enter the bathroom and pick up your toothbrush. Brushing your teeth, you look up at your large wall mirror. Arching an eyebrow in confusion, you notice a set of fingerprints.
Thinking nothing of it, you take a towel, slightly dampen it with some water, and wipe at them. They are still there.
Taking the towel in both hands, toothbrush hanging in mouth, you wipe and wipe, but they still remain. Giving up, you look closer at them.
They’re on the other side of the mirror.
Nicely done, but I think it was fine the way it was. I’m one of those who puts himself in the story, so almost everything on this site creeps me out :). If this happened to me, I’d shat brix.
They really must miss watching you sleep at night
Little Spooky… Not bad
Not a good story. It doesn’t go anywhere! It’s all build-up and no climax. It’s like sex, if you’re a woman. Or dance music.
Not really all that scary, and it was too short for my liking, but not the worst I’ve seen.
lol at people saying this is stolen from the movie Mirrors. I read it long before Mirrors came out, sorry everyone. Not that I think it’s especially good, it’s just not stolen.
Thanks, now I’m scared of mirrors too.
:(
Interesting concept, and it was nice and short.
And to the WHO WAS people: We get it, we don’t know who was on the other side of the mirror. That’s the point! Saying it over and over again doesn’t make it funnier.
BUT I DUN WAN TU HAF A VOYAIR. : [[[[[
MOMMYYYYY
Read it before, another version probably. It’s a clever idea.
It doesn’t work, though – when you’re cleaning the mirror on this side, your mirror image will be cleaning the other side with the reflection of your towel. And the prints would disappear all the same, regardless of which side they’re on.
Sorry.
This is Reflection.
Reflection say, “hi”.
I cut off my head
Reflection die?
There wasn’t so much a scary “oh shi-” factor as much as there was a voyerism “oh shi-” factor. Maybe Peeping Tom should stop touching the one-way mirror when he watches you shower…
Anyone else notice how the quality of CP is degrading nowdays?
I’ve always loved this one.
<3
THEN WHO WAS FINGERS?
Lame-o. But if expanded, would be pretty cool :D
Gah, I got the chills. x_X;
*makes note to take down all her mirrors one of these days*
100% stolen from the movie Mirrors.
whoever wrote this needs to get some creativity of their own.
It would have been better if it had been an inaccessible window, like on the second or 3rd floor, instead of a mirror.
It was a window.
Kinda cool. Unsettling, at least.
Would have been creepier if I hadn’t just seen that movie Mirrors.
Freaky. =)
Hunterotica, Lulz ensue
~~~
I actually liked this one. Nice and short, but still a little freaky.
You lot shouldn’t be so quick to jump on the author about it.
If that happened to you, wouldn’t that be a little…you know…creepy?
Lilhorn rests her case.
OH GOD UNCLEANABLE MIRROR BRIX SHAT
I don’t really care for this one as much.
Not scary; the story is neat though
If I was rubbing at the fingerprints, wouldn’t my reflection be rubbing at them as well?
Then they should have been wiped away by my reflection.
The name of this one is the best part…
meh. short. lacks of detail. no “oh shi-” factor. Meh.
lameee
Wow that was really cool.. I like that it was short too 8)
Going to have to tell the other side me to stop fucking smearing the mirror.
Really?
Damn, and I was just praising Creepypasta for taking a turn for the better, too…
wow so the people who installed the mirror left fingerprints. >_<
better clean my mirror. just windexed the damn thing.
Lame.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
short sweet and to the point.
lovely.
Huh…
Well…
Could have used a bit more explanation and a little less taking from other stories
This could’ve been better. Like, if it had tried not sucking. This story was in no way unique enough or creepy enough to be so short and nondescript.
That was so generic and lame that it made me laugh.
i actually enjoyed it, if it was written much better, ie: more fluidly, it would have been alot better, It felt to jagged, and didnt read smoothly, otherwise, i think that it was really good
mirrors are overused in creepypasta enough
and this wasn’t even creative.
…Meh. (q ‘-‘)q
Elaborate. It was good, but could be way better if it was longer.
Odd, though not creepy. Good job, though.
Who was towel?
Sorry I had too
anyways
Nice
I WILL NOT OPERATE OK.
Pls don’t! Thanks!
THANK GOD.
Finally, a traditional short pasta! The long ones have been getting tiring.
Short, simple, sweet. And still creepy.
God, this site is the reason why I’m always creeped out by mirrors these days… >_>
Seconded
wat
First, etc.
Also, fffffffuuuuuuuuuuu-
BUT WHO WAS FINGERPRINTS?
the other you.
BUT WHO WAS MIRRIOR
…typical mirror story.
Not scary at all.
Perv on other side of window.
Pervs
They’re everywhere
okay…?
haha cool and creepy
oh,like the movie? lol
wow….weird….lol
