Mara 'Horror' Stories

Just a goofy concept I came up with, so *most* of these stories probably won't be scary. Feel free to share your stories, whether real or made-up.

It's midnight, and you're very sleepy. You are running through all the dailies you forgot to do earlier. Later, you go onto your profile to view your pets one last time. To your shock, your zola has turned into a red xoi named "ivanhuflepluf". You faint.

A blank username keeps messaging you in MT without any actual text. They don't appear to have a user, they seem to have the "blank" avatar, their profile is empty, and their doll appears nonexistent. Annoyed, you try to block the user. This doesn't seem to work, as you keep getting the message " messaged you with maratalk". You ignore the messages. Suddenly, a new message appears. "_blank_ messaged you with maratalk" This time you click the notification. The entire site crashes. The only thing that is there is a white screen that occasionally flickers the text "_blank_". After closing out of the site, you decide that's enough mara. You hear a knock at the door, but you don't see anybody out the window. "Who is it?" you yell. Silence. You slowly open the door. Nothing. Finally, you give up and head to bed. You close your eyes. It feels really strange. You open them again, only to hear someone eerily whisper. "blank...blank...blank"

Friends tend to ask me if I truly believe in an alternate reality, and to tell the truth, I absolutely do. I was trying to get a certain hidden avatar on Marapets, which required me to search up my username in the search box. Once I looked up my name, I thought it was interesting that not one, but two names came up for my user. I clicked the one user, who's doll looked like mine except it's makeup seemed off. The profile looked extremely similar to mine, though I noticed it said I had been a user for over a year, even though I haven't even had my user for 8 months. The pets were all the same as mine, but with different names. Wondering if this was a glitch, I refreshed the page. Surely enough, the doppelganger profile disappeared.

You are trying to earn MP through quests. Finally, you complete 200 quests. You look at your MP. You have only made 100 more mp. You scream.

You accidentally donate a really expensive item to the pot of gold. You eventually find the person that grabbed the item, but they refuse to give it back and they use the item on their pet and break it. Rood.

One day, you're playing Marapets before going to sleep. You've nearly made it to 100 million mp, which is your goal for tonight. You hear beeping downstairs. After going down to investigate, you can't seem to find the source of the sound. You decide it must of came from outside. Finally, you decide to head back to bed after grabbing a bagel to eat in bed (don't worry I won't judge). Anyways, after grabbing your everything bagel, you head into bed. You get crumbs everywhere but that's OK since you're changing the bed tomorrow. After messily eating your bagel, to your horror, you see that your phone charger is broken and your phone is at 0% battery. You die from a heart attack. The end.


You may now applaud.
