User blog:TeaCupsinBlackandWhite/Creepypasta Riff: 3:43 a.m.

Well hi. I am bored and thanks to the time change, I am in no way tired. Of course, I won't be saying that in the morning, but whatever. Anyway, in honor of this terrible time change, I found a Creepypasta that has a time-based story, or at least that is what the title suggests. I really should be at least trying to do something more productive than amuse strangers (and Dorky) on the internet, but no. Anyhow, enough of my rambling, let's riff this- You know what? I don't really feel like using Dorky's line. Let's just get this over with. :

3:43 a.m.

He's there again, I know he is, I can hear him, breathing harshly. Perhaps you should get the poor boy an inhaler?  It was so quiet, I could hear his eye lids bat I thought you said he was breathing harshly, trust me that is rarely ever quiet. Also, that’s impossible. . I looked outside, I saw him.

Starring Typo, anyone?  right into my eyes, I feel like crying every time If you think that’s a sight to fret over, try looking up SlenderxJeff fan art in the dark hours of the night. , although I know it'll happen multiple times after, night after night. I just don't know how I know <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Well, I mean, you get used to things that happen night after night after night.

I'll look outside for a few minutes, and he's there. Looking at me, <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">emotionless<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">.

I can just see this figure, terrifyingly starring <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anyone up for Typo seconds? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">at me, his eyes are a focusing <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">abyss<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Again, that is considered /detail/. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The concept of this figure continues to scare me. Why is he here? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> I think you know why, you know what you did that night. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> But anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You’re getting ahead of everyone, you haven’t even introduced yourself yet <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">.

I was laying in bed, couldn't sleep, it was 2 AM <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Right, you “couldn’t sleep”. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">.

Confusion and fear filled my insides. Shivers ran thoroughly through my body <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“in that moment, I knew what people meant when they said “go f*** yourself”, <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, I turned to stone. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Did you try turning it off and on again?

I don't remember much after that, I just remember waking up in my bed that morning <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Because explaining what the hell happened to make this interesting and actually creepy rather than just confusing was way too hard. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d4d4d5;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(212,212,213);white-space:pre-wrap;">"It was a dream, a fucked up dream" I turned over, looked next to me to see the knife and the pepper spray, what happened? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(212,212,213);font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Aliens.

Well that was decently enjoyable, the ending was nice for the vague aspect, but this story wasn't at all creepy. I should point out that I am pretty sure the author's native language isn't English, so typos were to be expected, along with grammatical issues. English is one hell of a language to learn. Anyway, what do you think? Did you like this riff? Do you hope I get caught up in all this paradoxal nonsense and die in some unexplained way? Tell me in the comments below!.. Seriously, Dorky and TheAzumangaDaiohFan can't be the only ones reading these. Not that I mind them- you know what, just do your thing,  I'll be here riffing.
