Is The Backrooms Real Novels & Stories

However, a moment went by before she narrowed her eyes in thought. “I think we should try some of the bookcases toward the back. I know that there are a few tomes that are under lock and key for safety reasons, but if it’s just basic background information you’re looking for, then I think you should be able to find something.” Nora led us to the back of the large room, where we came upon a narrow bookcase and an entire glass case that had a large metal lock on its doors. I read a few of the spines before coming across one titled ‘Creaturae et Ineffabilia’. “Creatures and Unspeakables,” I muttered. “This one looks promising.”

The metadata included encrypted access logs, and within them, a phrase: REDROOM-77-BER. Talana clicked deeper. What she saw turned her stomach. Live-streamed torture arenas. Girls auctioned to the highest bidder not for sex, but for slaughter. Executions behind paywalls. Medical torture. Spectacles for billionaires who wanted to play god with someone else's flesh. The Red Rooms were real. “He built theaters of death,” Talana whispered, disgust choking her. “Right here. In Berlin.” Matteo turned white. Mariano punched a hole through the drywall.

"But this time, she pushed it back and told me to come today." The moment she said that, it felt as if something exploded inside my head. All kinds of scattered details suddenly started connecting, but I didn't dare think too deeply about it. My college was close to home, so I usually came back on weekends. And the past few days, I had been staying up late, finishing my thesis. I was so exhausted that instead of going home, I came straight here and crashed in the back room. But somehow, everything lined up perfectly. Clarissa was coming by to settle the books, and my mother just happened to leave to pick up inventory.

I say. “Agreed, but it can’t come from us. We can’t have alphas looking our way, songbird,” he warns me. Shit, he is right. “I sense something alive in the back room, but otherwise it’s empty,” he adds. We go to the back together, and Caleb opens the flimsy door. It’s a long room, and the back wall is filled with cages. The cages are all broken and dirty, and it stinks. The doors are all open except for a few at the bottom. I try not to look at the piles of bones and red dust in the open cages as I head to the closed ones.

The scheduler continued, "As for this body-swap nonsense they're peddling... Our systems are state-of-the-art and fully integrated. Families watch via the viewing window; there's no sneaky backdoor for swaps. Feel free to inspect the setup. We're an open book." The police did just that, dispatching techs to examine the incinerator. As the scheduler said, there was only one entry. There were no compartments or tricks. Evelyn's story crumbled like dry leaves.

Everything is frayed, the seams of my life coming apart. The lounge is silent when we enter, save for the low, hypnotic pulse of jazz through the walls. The front end continues its charade of high-end craft cocktails and polite conversation, but we slip through the hidden bulkhead in the larder, guarded by sentries who offer only a sharp, knowing nod. The back room reeks of aged leather and woodsmoke. It is my fortress. Zane moves to the bar and pours a triple measure of malt. Lucien paces, the floorboards groaning under his weight. Draven leans against the mantel, eyes fixed on the fire as if demanding a confession.

Squinting her eyes, she realized that the transparent thing looked very similar to her, the only difference was the golden halo above the head. "If she's dead… Why don't I have a golden halo-like her's?" Tang Yazhu muttered when suddenly, a thought came to mind. According to the books and movies that she has read thus far, there was such a thing as "possession." This ignited her heart and loosened the tight grip that has been on her heart since she died. "Since she's dead now, does that mean that I can possess it?!" With that thought in mind, a flicker of hope shined in her eyes. Without delay, she arrived at the dead female body even faster than the Flash.

Everything looked like it had been abandoned for a decade. This couldn’t be real, could it? I had to be dreaming. Wolf Creek didn’t look like this.Wake up, Lola. A door slammed, sending my heart into frantic pounding. “Who’s there?” Cautiously, I walked toward the back of the store, and crept slowly into the back room. It was dark and dingy back here. Nothing like it should be. The back door leading to the ally was open, it wavered in the wind, nearly blowing closed before blowing open again. I took a deep breath. There wasn’t anyone here. It was just the wind.

His shadows expand with flashes of throbbing blue light, illuminating a great, cavernous space. A ballroom. “Wait,” he rushes out, grabbing my shoulder before I can take a step, and we look down at the littered floor. “Oh, no.” The whisper leaves my lips in a pained moan. This is a burial ground. Piles of bones and armor. Tables in shambles, turned to rot. The remains of plates and cutlery rusted and buried beneath decades–no, centuries–of stillness. And at the very back of the room is a door.

TIME: 03:00 HOURS. LOCATION: SECTOR 8 - THE "DEEP SUMP." STATUS: EXILE. They didn't find a spaceship to whisk them away. They didn't find a secret rebel base with hot food and soft beds. They found sewage. Ren Walker, formerly the top sniper in Aegis Online and briefly a millionaire, was currently wading through thigh-deep sludge in the lowest drainage tunnels of Aethelgard. This was the Deep Sump—the subterranean intestine where all the city's chemical runoff, biological waste, and industrial slurry flowed before it was pumped out to the dead ocean.
