HOLY SHIT Right so… uhh… sorry for the abrupt ending on that last entry. As I was writing I noticed that the lights were starting to flicker and from what I know about the Backrooms that isn’t supposed to happen. I gathered up my stuff as quickly as I could and stood up ready to bolt.
It’s a good thing that I did because the moment I slipped my arms through the straps on my backpack the lights in the area around me went off. I could still see some on in the distance but when I turned to look back the way I came I saw…
Well, I’m not sure what I saw exactly…
In one of the darker closed-off rooms, I think I saw some kind of smiling face? Fuck I don’t know how to describe it but it was horrifying to say the very least. It had long teeth that ended in sharp jagged points and its eyes were glowing? I couldn’t really make out much more of the damn thing since it was cloaked in shadows but I KNOW that it saw me because it narrowed its eyes and that smile seemed to widen…
That wasn’t the end of it though. I saw someone! It was only for a handful of seconds but someone appeared in that dark room right in front of that… thing?
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
They were… glitchy? It was like looking at one of those old TVs that didn’t quite work right. They seemed to be covered in static and their features shimmered and faded in and out of clarity. They were even glowing a little bit. They didn’t seem to notice me at first, but before I could even say anything that creature lunged at the person and dragged them away into the darkness of the room.
I’m not ashamed to say that I took off running for my life. I like to think that I’m a good person; that I’d always be there to help someone in need but… You can’t understand the horror that was surging through me in that moment. I feel terrible for leaving them behind… hearing their screams for a few seconds before only the silence and buzzing and the thudding footsteps of my hasty retreat consumed my thoughts.
I ran for… well I’m not sure how long I ran. I didn’t dare look back and I did NOT slow down one bit. Eventually, though I did have to stop, or rather, I collapsed. Only then did I turn back to look and see if that thing was following me. All I saw were the endless twists and turns of the Backrooms.
No monster, no flickering lights, just those same yellow walls I’ve been seeing for the last couple of days. I’m completely unsure of what to do now. I thought this place was empty. I thought I was the only one here but… well if that person showed up then maybe there are others! Maybe if I look hard enough I can find someone else. That said… what if I come across another creature like that one?
I seriously doubt that this little billy club will do much against something like that. I’m… shaken. Shaken and terrified… And I want to go home.
