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.

Bad title, great pasta. :D
@ Bob;
That’s kind of cute. Haha.
Sam- ballon= bottled SOUL!
when i read that first sentence, i held my breath until i read on. lol
I’ll just lick my soul back up :D
THEN WHO WAS BREATH???
What if I’m running? My breath will trail behind me and I don’t want to go back and suck them back up again.
I guess you should never give anyone CPR, as you will be giving them your soul.
I love the short ones.
This is an old one. One of the very first creepypasta I ever read.
I still love it.
I friggen love this, it’s funny and creepy.
xD
the fogged up mirror is sexy
I loled XD alot.
The last part is not gonna let me sleep. Grr I’m going to be thinking about it forever and ever and ever.
Does like your reflection steal part of your soul?
I honestly don’t understand the “Don’t do that.” part.
Will someone explain, if you please?
It suggests that when you breath onto a mirror, part of your soul will become trapped within the mirror.
Liked the story
but does that mean when you kiss someone, and you both exhale, you’re swapping souls?
Hoooooooooly shit, that was one heck of a good short creepypasta!
What happens when steam from a hot bath fogs the mirror?
so what happens if you blow up a ballon or do CPR on someone?
i am a heron. i haev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans
your right, it is a bad idea. Either the mirror or my soul will no longer shut up about my bad breath.
O HAI.
Anywho, it’s old, but it’s still one of my faves. Manages to creep me out. Every damn time.
I am now manually breathing. Fuck. :[
Ahhh my soul is gone. {At least by now it is gone
This is really professional seeming, and well-written. I don’t find it overly creepy, but it doesn’t have to be. It lets your mind run with it. The reader actually does all of the work in scaring themselves.
Major props to whoever wrote this.
shorty… I don’t think you did… this site didn’t exist last year =)
but for real, i’ve never posted this one before… soooooo….
i’ve read this story on here like last year
It turns out that it’s only one entity that steals your soul when you breathe on a mirror. Damn you, Candl-
that scared me for realz *brix* GOOD JOB >:3
Every time you open your hand, a little bit of your soul escapes. Luckily, you almost always close your hand before anyone else gets to it. Almost.
Ever fogged up a mirror with your open hand?
Don’t do that.
