The Liminal Space

The Liminal Space

CH I - Lobby of your Future

You wake in a vast set of rooms.

No windows, No doors.

Nothing, Absolutely Nothing.

Damp brown carpet lines the floors.

And Old Mono-Yellow Wallpaper barely hugs the walls.

The fluorescent lights buzz ever so slightly.

You look around in despair.

Around at your future.

You start to do the only thing you can do.

So You walk, and walk, and walk.

And for what’s seems like miles is the same things, that damp Brown carpet, and that stupid Yellow Wallpaper.

And an Erie feeling of déjà vu at every corner

You try to preserve the little food and water you have on you

At some point, you forget everything.

Has it been hours? Days? Weeks?

What you were before doesn’t matter

It’s your move forward, to leave these backrooms

But after a very long time, you see something different.

A piece of paper on one of those damn walls.

In absolute joy, you run to it to read what it says,

"May God help you if you hear noises, cause those noises sure as hell heard you"

Your joy turned to terror

What noises?

Are you Alone?

You take the paper and continue on your journey.

But now your endless despair turns to paranoia.

You look around every corner and start noticing dark spots where lights don’t glow.

You begin to think if you’ve gone insane

If the shapes you begin to see are real or not.

Just a figment of your imagination or creature lurking in the distance.

But that creature, real or not, seems to get closer and closer.

Despite that, you trek forward in hope of escape from these infinite rooms.

Eventually after what seems like forever,

You finally think you’ve gotten control of your sanity and paranoia.

But one simple thing ends that thought:

A Thump.

You hear a Thump

You hear something, something that isn’t yourself or a fluorescent buzz.

Not only that, but you remember once again that old paper

You know that there is someone… no… something is nearby.

You freeze in terror.

Sweat drips down your skin.

What can you do?

Run?

It’s not like that thing has already heard you or anything.

But then comes another thump, not as loud, but definitely closer.

Try to think of ways to possibly fend it off, but you don’t even know what this “thing” looks like.

In the end it’s useless, so make a run for it.

You desperately try to hide, hide behind those ugly walls.

But once again, it’s no use, it knows where you are, it knows exactly who you are.

You lean against a corner wall, accepting your fate, you're probably going to die.

But instead, a miracle happens.

Well, not a miracle, but a complete coincidence.

You fall through that wall as if it was made of nothing.

With that, you are brought somewhere new.

You have left the lobby of these backrooms,

But you are far from safe.

To be Continued…
