Her Name
It wasn’t a big deal at first, you know? It was just another story online, one you’d read in the comments of a YouTube video, designed to scaring you into posting it on eight other videos. You know the kind, where you die a horrible death or your crush will reject you if you don’t spread the word? I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but now it’s the only thing I can think about.
The comment started by saying that “she hasn’t left [the poster] alone in days” and “by reading this, she’ll come for you.” I don’t even remember the exact wording because it was late and I was tired and I’d seen a hundred other comments like it before.
I forgot all about it.
Until she started coming after me.
It started with little things. A flash in the corner of my vision, a strange shadow on the hallway floor. Then it got worse. I started to hear whispering when I was alone in the house, giggling, the sound of footsteps. I now know that she was teasing me. Sort of like how a cat will clamp its paw over a mouse’s tail and bat at it before it kills it.
Mirrors were the worst. She liked to stand just out of frame when I was brushing my hair, so when I shifted my head to get the other side, she would be there, standing next to the bookshelf, with her long, tangled hair, matted with blood, falling down her shoulders. And that grin.
Oh, God, that grin.
Her teeth were always bloody. I was never sure if it was her blood, or… I don’t even know.
Every night it seemed to get worse. I would see her on my way to class, in the rear view mirror of my car, dragging her talon-like fingernails across her own, rotting flesh as I stared in abject terror.
For a while I put it off to sleep deprivation. Finals, you know?
And then she came to me.
It was late, so late it was technically early. I couldn’t sleep because all I could hear was her giggling. I covered my face with the pillow and shut my eyes tight, when I felt something cold on my hand.
I was paralyzed with fear. It was sharp and it was cold and it was moving down my arm towards my elbow.
“Come out to play,” she said in that lilting, upsetting voice I’d heard one too many times before.
I screamed and sat up but she was gone. For the moment.
My biggest mistake was when I talked to her. I’d just stepped out of the shower and she was right there when I opened the curtains. I shrieked and stumbled back and she leaned down to me.
“Why?” I asked. “Why are you doing this?”
She told me why. It was because I knew something about her. That altercation ended with a serious head injury that landed me in the hospital.
That’s where I am now.
I can’t take this anymore. I’m just one person, it’s too much. I know what I have to do. I think I always knew.
God, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.
Her name is Nora. She should be there soon.

You should’ve seen him in the shower. :3
Looks like I have lots of new friends to play with.
It’s a little hackneyed, the whole concept. It was a decent pasta, but still stale.
WHO WAS– Oh wait, It was Nora.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ME
Pretty nice, but not too nice.
Meh.
Fairly decent. Standard “now you know something about me i must kill you” story, but good twist on the actual piece of info.
somewhat predictable. Not a bad story but the ending was pretty obvious… 6 skulls =P
I ONLY WANT SOME LOOOOOOVEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baby you can scream my name all night.
jeez, i’m the cleaner. This is why you whould never eat cheese before going to bed. tsk.
See guys, this is what happens when you don’t forward your chain mail.
I’m reading this at 3:00 AM in a dark room by myself. FUUU
The apology at the end gave me a slight shiver.
Cliches aren’t bad when used right, and this story was well written.
Enjoyed, and will enjoy again soon.
Can’t wait til’ this pops into the back of my mind, come bedtime.
Really? The “reader is screwed for reading story” story plus the “scary dead girl with long black hair” story? Both stories have been done so many times that you can’t distinguish between them anymore. What ever happened to original thought? Did it just vanish?
Aside from being grammatically correct, this was compeltely terrible.
It’s spelled “completely”
Well done.
it was long hair with curls not blank
BUT THEN WHO WAS NORA?
(Nora is the name of an acquaintance of mine. Not the sort who’d be convincing as a Samara lookalike)
that was the name of my grandma’s dog : I
oh, i love that one..not a new idea but very well-written
I know, right?
I have this problem about reading the end first sometimes. I already knew her name before I started reading it =/
Okay pasta, I’ll probably have late-night hallucinations…
Also, I wanna wait for the first “Nora” commenter. XD
Lol, a little while back I was the first one
BUT THEN WHO WAS YOUTUBE?
I thought it was yummy.
I haven’t read many like this, though. So I guess it’s sort of new to me.
Enter the biggest cliche in scary story history:
The “OMG you read it now you’re next!”
Lame.
Crazy guy is hallucinating, then falls in shower. SCARY!!!
Ahh~ I totally agree with #2 >.<
It was a tasty pasta, though =D
My aunt’s name is Norah. We get along well.
Other than that, it was nice. The idea isn’t all that original, and it didn’t exactly scare me, but it was well-written.
Not exactly original, but the writing was good.
That was sort of well written, but not really scary.
Okay pasta is okay.
:/
Haha, I love ones like these. I’m always FUCK NOW I KNOW even though it’s not real. I mean. It’s NOT real. Right?

Nora, you say? That’s not a very scary name
Nora is not scary? Nora can be scary. Nora WILL show you scary. Nora will play with you. Nora likes to play.
Now, now, Nora. Behave in the company of strangers. Remember what your mother and I told you; They only become scared when they don’t know your intentions.
Alright slendy and Nora that’s enough.
Hey, Slendy who let her out of the cage?
Her name should have been Helana or something cool. Nora is to basic
actually nora is a very uncommon
Nora huh?
