Master List

tw: eldritch horror, paranoia, scopophobia, claustrophobia, blood

Chapter One

All anyone could hear were screams. People's sanity hung from a single thread. Parents turned on children, and corpses littered the streets with blood pouring out, coating the roads a sapphire hue. All the while, a dark, ominous figure loomed over the people. Beady eyes seeming to follow from all angles, the tentacles, resembling that of a squid, rained down from the fog and grabbed unsuspecting people.

The fire seemed to rain down, and the inhabitants of the planet cried out that it was the end of days. They were praying to their lord to save them. Their prayers fell on deaf ears as the only lord left for them to worship was slowly consuming their planet and all they held dear. After what felt like a millennium the planet Zalea ceased to exist…

The dimly lit thrift store left a musky smell as I went. I browsed the items, but nothing really stood out to me. I seemed to be the only one in the store, which put my racing mind at ease. Large crowds have always made me uneasy, the amount of people makes me feel like I’m constantly being watched. The chattering of people always tended to overload my senses, causing me to panic. Marty’s Thrift was always empty on Sundays, which led me to spend more time exploring each shelf. At times I would get lost searching for something that I didn't even know I wanted.

Peering from shelf to shelf, I got sick of staring at cheap glass jars that people seem to give away in mass. Something in the back of my mind begged me to look at the books. Which for me was strange as I had never really had an interest in reading. Nevertheless, I approached the bookshelves as if I were a connoisseur of the literary arts.

I stared at the bookshelf that lay before me. I ran my finger along the spines of countless books that I had no interest in. I never was a fan of romance and mysteries just bored me to death before I even got through one chapter. It was the strangest feeling, like I was a magnet being pulled toward one section of the shelf. My gaze searched among the unorganized books landing on the one book that slightly stood out.

It was a baby blue children's diary, with a heart lock on the front. The gold trim is embroidered on the cover in a slight floral pattern. The kind you find most children carrying after their school's book sale. I inspected the lock, it looked cheap at first but upon closer inspection, the gold metal of the lock seemed to be high quality. My head began to spin, something wasn’t right. There was this deep, unsettling urge for me to open this book. One problem…there was no key in sight.

Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of paranoia washed over me. Like something was watching from afar. Fear took control and I quickly placed the diary back on the shelf as if I had been holding hot coals. I left the store in a hurry wanting nothing more than to feel alone again and to clear myself of this strange feeling.

Except it only grew worse. All I could think about once I got home was that damned diary and the feeling it brought. It felt like I was going mad as I laid in bed. My mind was filled with unexplained thoughts of cruelty and despair. I spent sleepless night after sleepless night doing anything I could to cure my mind of the thoughts that invaded my consciousness to no avail. Any thought was scrubbed out by the image of that diary.

I had to get that diary!
