You are home alone, and you hear on the news about the profile of a murderer who is on the loose. You look out the sliding glass doors to your backyard, and you notice a man standing out in the snow. He fits the profile of the murderer exactly, and he is smiling at you.
You gulp, picking up the phone to your right and dialing 911. You look back out the glass as you press the phone to your ear, and notice he is much closer to you now.
You then drop the phone in shock. There are no footprints in the snow.
It’s his reflection.
Umm for me it’s snowing.. SH-
this was my favorite pasta for the longest time, but rereading it now, one thing bothers me.[spoiler] why did you feel the need to say it was a reflection, the build up was so good and that soul crushing reveal would have been perfect if you just had left it at footsteps. like do you think we won’t be able to figure it out? [/spoiler] either way, still a great pasta! I give you a 4.5/5

At first I was thinking, oh yes, I know how this is going to go, predictable. But then the ending came, I love it!
I stay home alone a lot. thank god it doesn’t snow where I live!
My god! You have my compliments. It was one of the best stories I’ve read here.
Genius.
Disappointed, I saw that coming from a mile away. [spoiler][/spoiler] Why.[spoiler][/spoiler]
*Que dramatic slasher music.*
very creepy!
Hate to be that negative, overly strict critic, but how does he not recognize his own reflection?
i am sory , i did not like it. I LOVED IT
I personally think that this can be read 2 ways. Either the replection is [spoiler]the murderer standing in his house already[/spoiler] or [spoiler]the murderer is himself, his own reflection,maybe a split personality and not recognizing himself at first[/spoiler]
Really good!! =0
Good thing there’s no snow where I come from. Great scary read!
But if you can see the killer’s reflection, who’s behind you, wouldn’t you be able to see your own reflection in front of him? That’s why I initially thought that the protagonist was scared because he realised he was the killer on the loose…needless to say i was confused before reading the comments.
I just looked out my window, just to be sure…
My heart jumped at the ending, like that moment when you realize ur parents found out you did something really wrong kind of jump.
was he the same person as “you” or was he behind them?
btw this was awesome
If I was actually there, I would have back-kicked him in the knees and would have started applying my Karate techniques.
OMG Hollyshit I froze for a good few seconds when I read the end!
i think i just pooped myself….
