During your day, there are probably a half a dozen moments where you can’t see, if only for a split second. Not like blinking, of course, that’s far too quick . Just that moment when you’re taking off your shirt, or wiping your face with a towel. That brief instant where you’re plunged into darkness. Every time this occurs, you’re playing roulette. A game. Unbeknownst to you, of course. Every time that happens there is something waiting, eagerly, to pull you into that darkness. That only happens if you lose, of course. One day you might open your eyes to find that you’re not where you were before. There are unsolved missing person cases every week. Those people? They lost.

great idea
That honestly scared me a little
I don’t think I’ll loose…. I don’t wipe my face…. I let it dry, I pull my shirt down…. So basically I don’t play?
Great concept but left me wanting more.
I really like the theory of this but it just wasn’t there. I feel like it needed to be longer to explain more other then that nice work.
Much to short for my liking. I dont 5 page ones but this was much to short and if the game is officail the author of this story just lost.
Me playing that game? N E V E R. Lol because if I don’t play I don’t lose.
Wow, the world is full of lucky people who keep winning then (not to mention, there are at least 4-5 straight hours in which I don’t see anything because I am, you know, sleeping, and I tend to keep my eyes close when I do… I’m a gambler and I didn’t even know O_o).
I kind of thought the same thing. That “something” waiting for you is really bad at it’s job.
I lost
:'(
Sounds like a rip off of Doctor Who.
Yeah. Lukewarm pasta…5.5/10. Not bad, could use a little more sauce.
I always lose the game. Except for the fact that anyone who tries to kill me gets their ass kicked.
What if you crumple up your shirt in your hands when you take it off/put it on?
CHECKMATE GHOST.
They lost? well, damn. Let me know when they found.
lost… the game?
this one didn’t really get me :/ it was good i guess but it was just missing something that gives you that unsettling feeling. The kind of feeling that can turn your comfortable home into an inescapable torrent of fear and helplessness, where you know your being watched but you don’t know when the monster you hope isn’t there will come out of its hiding spot to play.
Scientifically speaking, there are a lot more times than mentioned when you can’t see; when you shift your eyes, rather than blurring the image like watching Cloverfield, your eyes sort of “turn off” for a few thousands of a second before they find their target.
You cheap fucker.
I outta forfeit the game.
It was the Weeping Angels(from Doctor Who).
Sorry, that was the first thing that popped into my head.
Fantastic Pasta.
I’m more afraid of monsters warping while I am blinded and attacking me
…Damnit, I’m afraid of the dark, mannequins, doors, and have a mild fear of escalators. How the fuck did I get so messed up?
MAN i hate that phrase… ‘half a dozen’. WHY DONT RETARDS LEARN THE NUMBER SIX.
First Candle Jack now this shit damnit this noodle is a little good but tends to be alittle overused.
i HATE changing my shirt and drying my hair because i feel like that would happen.
Maybe the missing people are just glitches in the matrix.
so theres a demon in my towel and shirt?!?!?! *gasp!
It would be good if it wasn’t stupid. But it is.
and………
THE GAME
Short and to the point but not quite enough to be “creepy”
6/10
Title made me think of Lady Gaga, which despite its relative decency negated all hope it had of being creepy.
the only creepy aspect is that i’ve always been paranoid about those moments spoken of, for the most part it just made me laugh.
It’s obviously not Candlejack. He doesn’t care if you can’t see. He just takes you whenever he wants, like this:
Not creepy but interesting.
Gay pasta is gay.
more about the roulette? it doesn’t really seem like it plays much of a part in the story. it could be changed into anything else and pretty much turn it into one of many stories already posted here. you should seriously consider expanding.
I liked this one a lot.
Short, sweet, and to the point.
Also, interesting idea.
YOU JUST LOST THE GAME > : D
Bland pasta is bland.
Well I go to sleep every single night…I’m a winner!
Shat a brick or two. The concept was pretty cool, but it’s not vague enough to strike fear.
So is it Candlejack who makes you lose th
that was fun i wanna lose sounds like a cool place
I’m just gonna make this more interesting in my mind and say that blinking counts. If that were the case, then…
I’M SCEERED TO LEAVE MA HOUSE NAO
Shoulda mentioned those brief moment we’re blind when we move our eyes back and fourth that adds up to about fourty minutes of total darkness a day with our eyes completely open. You should do a little reasearch on Saccadic Masking and maybe incorporate it if you ever revise this, I think that’d be interesting to play with.
This pasta was bland and undesirable. There was nothing scary about that than the idea a real person thought it was good. Honestly…
The reason I can’t see right now is because I clawed my eyes out when I read that.
Interesting idea that if I’m wiping my face with a towel, and when I put that towel down, I might be pulled into a creepy place and never be able to return to this “world”.
However, “Roulette” is so lame right now for me probably because of Rihanna slaughtering it with her music video. =/
Pretty kewll..
I like the story that say shit about the unsolved missing persons cases cause its truuu D;
Lame.
….Shit.
I lost the game.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THEY WERE UNSOLVED.
:|
It was alright but it needed a bit of polish if you get me
Well, I liked it, I believe you could have made it just a little bit longer adding detail…or maybe a ‘incident’ to go along….but I read the story at three in the morning and had a nightmare at 730am. Thanks.
Interesting, I used to have fears about that when I was young. Whenever I was alone in my room, changing, my heart rate would always increase a bit whenever I took off my shirt; I was afraid something would suddenly be standing where I couldn’t see for that split second.
eerie but not creepy.
It’s a decent idea, if not a little cliché. I’m just not a huge fan of the way you wrote it. It was very … blocky. You had a bunch of unnecessarily short sentences that smashed right into the flow of the story and made it, in the end, unenjoyable.
6/10. It had potential.
I do it for the lulz
“Missing” ripoff, which I liked better.
It was pretty good. Short and to the point. +Imagine how many people just lose the game as Lunar said. :D
crap, i lost the game like 300 times while reading the comments. this is a neat idea and quite creepy, if a little too short.
Damn,
I LOST THE GAME
Short and sweet. Verry delicious. Although about three seconds after I finished I could only think, “I LOST THE GAME!”
Cliche pasta is cliche
BUT WHO WAS GAME?
(shamefully breaking a long-running self-pact not to do that)
Sorry guys, I didn’t mean for anyone to lose :/ I was always scared of those little moments, so I decided to write a pasta. It’s my first and it needs editing, but thanks for the feedback :D
awesome
awesome
This is like listening to someone tell try to tell you something they experienced, but they leave out the important shit, and leave you wondering what the fuck they’re talking about. With a little more effort, it could have been great.
It’s me, I am The Game.
I’m not going to say this was a favorite of mine, but damn it is nice to see a return (however brief) to the old, short-and-sweet pastas of old. My hat’s off to you, author.
Would’ve been better if it WAS the blinking
Delicious.
That last line reminded me too much of that other missing person pasta.
I like it. Ilike the sort ones alot. I never really thought of it that way, but somethimes I get freaked out when im trying to get a shirt on, but I can’t. I don’t know why…
HURRY UP AND SPIN ME!
Mr. Smith, we meet again.
Simple, but good.
LOL THEY LOST THE GAME!!!
BUT WHO WAS LOST PEOPLE?
Damnit lost the game, too.
Stupid Pasta
I lost the game.
You know what this story did? It sucked the long dick of the establishment. It was fucking stupid
I lost too, when i read this story. haha j/k
I like reverting back to shorter stories, but gotta put more effort into it!
…
Eh. A little too short. But, i guess it was pretty good. I give that an, 7/10.
Uh. Wha— Oh… It looks like somebody stole my name ;)
Meh… Interestingly, though, there *is* some truth to this. You’re blind for a good part of the day due to your brain basically “shutting down” your eyes whenever you shift your gaze somewhere else.
First Candlejack and no
This is actually one of my biggest fears, that something will be waiting for me after I lift the shirt off my head, or finish drying my hair. This pasta, however, does not do it justice. It could have had more oomph.
It could be better, but at least it’s a short one. I miss those.
Short and lawlzy. Honestly, who was supposed to have written this? The “something” – trying to scare us?
Lawlz.
THEY LOST THE GAME!
hey, if you’re reading this: THE GAME
you lost it
THE GAME.
You just lost it.
Well, if the game’s official, then the chances of winning are very high indeed.
Ehhh.
Decent story idea, far too short and vague to be satisfying.
Short and sweet.
Pretty lame
I agree. Like super disappointing. :/
….I just lost too
I lost the game.
>:-D
