Every time you exhale, a little bit of your soul escapes. Luckily, you almost always inhale it back before anyone else gets to it. Almost.
Ever fogged up a mirror with your breath?
Don’t do that.

ME,
I repectfully disagree. “dont do that” suggests a certain amount of knowledge and maybe…. resignition? Like a harbinger almost.
i think it would be better if it just ended with “ever fogged up the mirrior with your breath?” the “dont do that” just ruins it
I is now a living sack of soul-less flesh and bone. yay me!
This pasta doesn’t do it for me because the whole ‘when you breathe your soul escapes’ is like the whole sneezing superstition, which was why people said ‘bless you’ so that your soul didn’t get snatched by the devil.
Furthermore, if you’ve ever breathed out underwater, you know you don’t breathe that same air back in when you resurface. Plus, fogging up mirrors with your breath is too common for me to be afraid anything will happen.
So. Good story idea, but too not-believable for me.
I exhale excessively so now I probably got only 1/4th of my soul left…
Great, thanks for making me nervous about BREATHING!
Awesome past; to the point and disturbing.
i thought this was already posted
this made me have second thoughts about using my breath to defrost a window….
-No bogus second-person instructions about how “you” complete a series of nonsensical tasks that lead to your ultimate doom.
-No overwrought allusions to Judeo-Christian mythology.
-Is actually creepy.

As if previous creepypastas about mirrors have not caused my brix to be shat. :[
I like this because of how succint it is.
then who was soul stealing mirror?
Alright, I like this one.
I lol’d.
Does the mirror rip you by any chance?
I heard this one before. Surprised not too many people know about it :p
Heh. Paired with all the creepypastas that say that mirrors open up to alternate universes or dark selves, this is pretty cool. ^_^ Short and sweet — I like it!
Ahhh! I did that last night! ): But it was a window…does that count?
I liked it and I read it somewhere.No phone I’m NOT complaining.
This one was actually pretty good. Short and sweet, or creepy, if you prefer.
Nice one.
Skwirral has the best idea.
I already hate mirrors as is, I managed to scare myself earlier with the mirror on the back of the sunguard in the car, so this uh. This helps.
niiiiiiiice^^ thats 10 seconds of entertainment right there.
Still one of my favorite creepypastas. Short, sweet, and with an ominous ending.
dammit mirrors you hath betrayed me you freak!
okei, win idea for being an hero.
read previous creepypasta, the blood mirror. read this creepypasta. you should see where i’m going with this.
if you don’t…i’m saying, exhale on the blood mirror, just to see what happens.
be an hero.
Wow :P
THEN WHO WAS FOGGED UP MIRROR?!
I will never complain about stuffy masks ever again.
Lawd Jesus…O_o

DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! >:3
The moral of the story is DON’T BREATHE!!!
The moral of the story is don’t breathe… Ever.
