Did Aliens Build the Pyramids?
It was a scorching hot day in ancient Egypt, and the workers were sweating profusely as they lifted heavy blocks of stone and placed them carefully into position. They had been working on the pyramid for what seemed like an eternity, and they were starting to lose hope that they would never finish.

For All Those Whom We Love and Value - Chapter Four
Prologue Chapter One Chapter Two Read the previous chapter here... Anthony Lockwood, Viscount Berrington, was not a man generally given to anxious fretting. Such men did not last long in the army, and while Anthony had certainly faced any number of fearful situations, he had fought his way through them. Still, he had not survived so long as a soldier by ignoring his instincts, either.

Shampoo and Conditioner
3:34am. I couldn’t take it anymore. At this time of day I never could. I also could never seem to fall asleep earlier so that I could avoid that empty feeling that comes along with it.

Operation: Save the School
Interrogation — Okay, I know what you’re thinking. This looks bad, and why would he, a middle school meathead, want to save the school? First of all, ouch. Second, this was out of my control, it would’ve happened if I was there or not, and second..er.. thirdly, you’re not getting the whole story. Here, let me go over it for you, in all the gross detail. It all started on a Monday.

A flooded corridor may occasionally be encountered. These halls are one-way exits that link directly to Level 7's surface rooms. Level 17 is mainly barren of creatures, with only one entity that is unique to it. These beings, called as Imprints, are alter egos of previous Level 17 adventurers. 😣

Mercy of God (Prologue)
Algora was a dreary little village tucked away in a forgotten corner of the world. The buildings were made of old, crumbling bricks that had seen better days, and the streets were filled with potholes and cracked cobblestones. The houses were small and simple, harshly contrasting with the dark, oppressive forest surrounding them. The smell of smoke and burning wood lingered in the air. The moonlight shone down on the village, casting long shadows across the empty streets. In the distance, chanting could be heard, sending chills down the spine of anyone who heard it. Throughout its history, Algora had been ruled by religious extremists who kept its people in fear and denial.

Rebuild Team 2
Henry had built his room with tarps and bits and pieces of this and that. The colossal window was leaning inwards, held up by an assortment of garbage and boards, blown inward when the bomb pushed its murderous hellfire winds up and out. It was not ideal, but he said it was temporary until he figured out what to do with the window. She visited him most days. She should be helping with the rebuild, but her asthma prevented her from doing much considering everything in this quarter was still covered in thick ash.

Backrooms Decrypted: The Infinite Apartment
You awaken, feeling carpet against your cheek. The strange, slightly out-of-date pattern you've come to expect from the Backrooms. What is that peculiar sound you can hear? This oddly tuneless easy-listening music is the kind you might find in an elevator, whisking you away to another world. Muzak that feels like it was written by a committee of mosquitoes as you stand, you see the similarly strange patterns on the wallpaper. This place never left the seventies, did it? Still, you'll take it over some limitless wilderness. It's time to figure out where you are and how you got here. You rise to your feet and begin to assess the environment around you. It seems as though you're in some kind of lobby, lined with elevators on both sides and marked entrances to stairways around the back.

Backrooms Decrypted: Surviving The Matrix (Level 12)
Welcome back, Explorer. You look tired. And of course, we don't blame you. You've had a long journey through The Backrooms so far, and considering some of the terrifying things you've seen over the previous eleven levels, who could blame you for losing sleep, there aren't many places in this frightening dimension where you can comfortably take the weight off your feet and just relax. Do you think you're any safer here, well, let's find out? Welcome to Level 12, Explorer. We hope you enjoy your stay. As you enter the level, you notice how different it seems from so many of the others. In many cases, levels of the Backrooms have been defined by their dizzying expansiveness. An office block that goes on for eternity. The endless, winding streets of a city that feels more procedurally generated than constructed by human hands. A field, misty and desolate, goes on and on and on and on. But that's not this level. It's a white room, not especially large or small. The gleaming paint job on the wall almost induces a kind of snow blindness. It's an unnatural level of crispness and clarity, like walking into some surreal screen saver. There's a door on the far wall, but strangely, you notice that there isn't a door behind you. Don't worry; you're too well versed in the ways of the Backrooms to be bothered by the logical inconsistency of that. You're instead focused on the chair and table sitting in the center of the room - as though you're preparing for a job interview, and your interviewer just happened to be late.
