started to feel off a few months back my family had a big get together my parents both have two siblings they all got married and had some kids well all of them except Uncle Matt he never got married or had kids that means I have 10 cousins my aunts and uncles all live within 2 hours of us So we've all grown up together that being said we don't normally have all my aunts and uncles in a house at once this was a rare occasion to have a family meal when they were all free I will

not be naming every single family member in this post because that seems like a lot of information and honestly you've already gotten more information about my family than you ever wanted but I promise this context is important okay enough with my babbling let's talk about What happened that weird night my parents and I went over to my aunt Margot and Uncle Ken's house where barbecue in the backyard the backyard felt loud and chaotic I tried to stay out of the way and get the night over with I was honestly just there for the free food

we were all sitting down at the big table outside I was so focused Fus on making sure none of the napkins went flying in the wind I wasn't even listening to the conversation my aunt Margot came over to the table with a plate of really burnt hot dogs my mom immediately started to laugh at the sight of them is burning food genetic or something how on Earth do you guys always do that to food the Jensen need to leave the cooking to the Millers my mom said with a sarcastic giggle Uncle Ken looked at her

confused what do you want about Liz Uncle Ken snapped back I mean Margot burnt the hot dogs and Matt always Burns Food when he cooks remember we had to ban him for months from cooking because we had to order takeout like three times in a row everyone at the table laughed recalling their memories size of recollection bounced back and forth from person to person when my dad spoke up in Aunt Margo's defense honey what are you talking about Matt is your brother I really shouldn't have to remind you of that my mom rolled her eyes

in response to my dad I spoke up because I was Suddenly confused about which side of the family Uncle Matt was actually on you would think I would naturally just know that but all my aunts and uncles act like siblings and call each other their siblings my grandparents often refer to their son/daughter in-laws as just their kids so it isn't something I was always thinking about wait I'm confused whose side is Uncle Matt on what is this the joke I I don't get it I asked but was only met with a laugh from All the

parents at the table I finally got an answer from my mom following the Silence of the joke that somehow went over my head don't be silly baby Matt is your dad's brother as the words left her mouth half the table look confused Liz what are you talking about he's on your side he's a Miller my aunt Margot said as she scraped off the burnt edges of her hot dog okay now I'm with a Manda I don't get the joke my mom said while looking At me with narrow inquisitive eyes and then at the rest of

the group wait wait everyone slow down a June said speaking up for probably the first time of the night this is dumb Matt is not Liz and I's brother he has to be on the Jensen side of the family I sat at the table watching my family in silence their eyes darted back and forth they stopped laughing and were all just scratching their heads after a few minutes my mom got out of her phone she found an old Family photo when from she was a kid in the photo were her my grandparents my Uncle Paul

and my Aunt June nothing out of the ordinary after looking at the picture Aunt Margot got out her phone and looked for an old childhood photo aha found one she stated as she showed off the photo on her phone yet again the photo is normal it had my grandparents my dad Aunt Margo and Aunt Susan the next hour consisted of both sides of the family going back and forth showing Photos none of them with Uncle Matt and them I had a few of my cousins there but they all lost interest once they ate I on

the other hand couldn't be pulled away I was engrossed in learning where the heck Uncle Matt came from they kept talking back and forth they figured maybe he wasn't anyone's sibling maybe he was related by marriage a second cousin twice removed that I just called Uncle Matt because that was the easiest thing to call him we all have a relative Like that right I know an easy solution you might be thinking of is to just call him up that's also what I said but he was working and they didn't want to interrupt him but guess

what I needed answer so I decided to call him however when I looked at my phone I couldn't find him in my contacts I looked through it multiple times I remember texting him about something a few days back so he should have been in my text history but still nothing after being weirded out by His contact being gone I mentioned out loud that someone should call him regardless of him being at work no one agreed with me but once I told them his contact was missing from my phone they all got curious and looked to

see if he was missing for them too we were all in shock to find him missing from all our phones the family started to dig through the camera rolls and any digital libraries they had to try and find any photo of him Uncle Andrew thought he had A photo of the back of him but we soon found that we all remembered him looking differently Uncle Andrew showed a picture of the back of a bald man who looked pretty tall Aunt June called him crazy and recalled him having a long curly red hair it wasn't like

we hadn't seen him in a year or that he was some kind of distant memory I saw the guy last week he came over to my house to help me do some homework and I can tell you he didn't have red hair or no hair At all he was well shoot I can't remember what he looked like now that I think about it it was safe to say we were all creeped out as the sun went down and it got chilly out the group moved inside normally this is when everyone would go home but I

saw Aunt Margo start a pot of coffee it was going to be a long night the air was tense and full of unease none of the adults wanted to go home until they had the answers I could tell the adults wanted to talk More but didn't want to worry the younger cousins my older cousin Maddie clearly didn't care about anything that was going on she just wanted to sleep we convinced her to take my three young cousins into the basement so they could all get some sleep but not me I was invested Uncle Matt and

I are close we see each other all the time how could I not have a shred of evidence that he even existed as my cousins shuffled downstairs all the adults huddled around A big whiteboard Aunt Margot slapped on the kitchen table they started to write down everything they could remember what he looked like the last time they saw him memories of him none of it was coherent it seemed he was a completely different person in all our memories even if it was a memory where multiple people were around one of the only things that we

could all agree on was that the Jensen always thought he was on the Miller side of the family and the Millers always thought he was on the Jensen side my mom recalled the story of Matt my dad going to a lake to fish but the hook got stuck on Matt's hat and went flying my dad told us he remembered my mom telling him the same exact story many times everyone had memories of stories where he was on the other side of the family soon everyone was on the phone with a new family member trying to

tell them the situation and ask me what they thought about everything my aunts And uncles were talking to realities on their phone I didn't even know relatives that probably only met Matt a couple of times at best all they heard was one dead end at a time no one knew where he came from or where he went so the big question was who is Matt was he just some random guy who weasel his way into the family telling one side of the family one thing and the other side another or was it something so much

worse as the sun came up that Saturday Morning we were all still scratching our heads the deeper we got into Who Matt was the more freaked out everyone got I was honestly surprised they let me stay with them all night long the more digging everyone did the farther away we felt the more rabbit holes we went down the less real he seemed we couldn't find any evidence that he ever existed some of us searched all over the Internet for Matt Jensen or Matt Miller and a few of us searched for other last names in the

Family of course it was kind of hard to know who we were looking for given we didn't know what he really looked like after hours of discussion we compiled a list of attributes that never wavered about Uncle Matt he was a man he never had a mustache he was tall he was bad at math and he loved Jim Carrey movies that might seem like a random grouping of facts but that's because it was we couldn't even remember where his house was some of us completely forgot and Others remembered different houses it didn't matter we weren't

going to start knocking on doors to find a man we were concerned never existed we started to believe that as soon as we began to question who he was just simply started to fade away into nothingness like it was some kind of self-destructive on its own Consciousness it was around 9:00 a.m. that morning when people started to fall asleep on couches the night before started with everyone being determined And saying the night wouldn't end until we found Uncle Matt but here we all were exhausted and with little to no answers it felt like accepting defeat

by napping on the couch but we couldn't do much else at 11:00 a.m. we all woke up to the sound of my cousin's playing in the room next over we all sat up and rubbed our eyes we could practically see the gears turning in everyone's head as they woke up from their stubbers I could tell when they realized their memories actually Happened and it wasn't just a weird fever dream my aunt Margot stumbled to the kitchen while yawning and started to dig in the pantry for something substantial the kids could eat it was clear they

had already raided the cookie stash as the adults had a quiet conversation we heard something come from a cousin Cass that made us freeze yeah remember last night when Uncle Matt gave us those cookies it was so much fun my small cousin said with a hop and a Skip wait Cass get over here and say that again my Uncle Andrew yelled in an attempt to sound intimidating but came out with a voice crack Cass walking over to us looking like a confused puppy who just got yelled at what did I do wrong Uncle Andrew I

thought if Uncle Matt offered us cookies I could have them Cass you're not in trouble this is very important are you telling me Uncle Matt was with you guys last night Uncle Andrew tried to say in a gentle tone to Not scare Cass I mean not the whole night but he brought us all cookies and put us a movie for us then he said he wanted to go hang out with you guys upst stairs Cass told us with a quiet voice everyone started to frantically look around the room looking for any evidence of him being

there last night we quickly asked the rest of the cousins if they saw Matt and some kids did and some didn't I noticed something when I started to count the objects in the room There were 10 adults and me upstairs last night so there should have been 11 people in total but I saw 12 plates out with the leftover Crumbs from our late night pizza 12 spots laid out for sleeping in the living room and 12 mugs or cups of coffee he was here last night as I mentioned what I found my dad said he

remembered seeing him last night he said Matt brought him some water Uncle Paul said he saw him go to the bathroom but couldn't remember him coming out They mentioned how it felt like it never actually happened but he managed to place the memory in them after the fact how else would they see Uncle Matt right in front of them and not realize what was happening I had a strange feeling that started to Bubble Up I felt uneasy and Restless wait something is off here I said loudly to the room everyone lined up on the wall

I want to try something for a second they all looked at me confused they normally wouldn't let me Boss them around like that but they were all desperate and tired all the adults lined up against the wall as I walked by them I counted out loud something strange happened I counted 12 people including me none of the kids were lined up I wasn't counting myself twice there was an extra person Uncle Matt wasn't just here last night he was with us in the room at that moment other members of the family even tried to count

we did it over and over again even adding one of The kids to the mix but every single time there was one extra person but we still couldn't see them how was he hiding in plain sight everyone ended up leaving my uncle Margo's house that afternoon we all still extremely creeped out about the whole thing but what could we do about it not much it not like Uncle Matt ever did anything violent mostly normal behavior except for a few memories of him that were kind of weird one of us remembered seeing him in the Kitchen

stacking and unstacking bolts for hours another person remembered him once packing for a vacation but a suitcase only had trash bags in it and I have a memory of us sitting in front of the fireplace with him reading the instruction manual to a blender for a bedtime story at least those were the kind of memories we had in the beginning as the weeks went on we started to remember things that got more and more concerning he showed up in our houses in The middle of the night or buying us all hammers for Christmas he once

bought hundreds of dollars worth of knives and put them in my dad's car once we developed disturbing memories of him we tried to tell the police of course they couldn't find any evidence of his existence so they couldn't help us it didn't help our case that we couldn't even give them a last name how on Earth are they supposed to find a guy based on his last name being Matt and no physical Features so who is Uncle Matt I can say with 100% certainty I have no clue is he a man is he an entity

is he a figment of our imaginations or is he nothing at all I don't know that's the worst part of it all he seems to always be around at family dinners most of the time I count the number of people I end up with an extra person he feels like a virus always implanting a memory of himself being around but in the moment I never see him it seems to be a family joke at This point always leaving out an extra plate for him or something in my opinion no one is taking the situation seriously

I know he hasn't hurt anyone but why should we wait for something to happen I swear I can feel it when he shows up the hairs on the back of my neck stand up my family has given up on trying to figure out who or what Uncle Matt is but I haven't it feels like they have all just forgotten the disturbing memories of him I swear the deeper I dig to find him the Worse the memories get like he is rotting and festering in my memories right before my eyes I'm starting to think it's his

attempt to stop me from looking for him the fact that he's punishing me for looking for him makes my concern grow more and more why is he suddenly running now that I am on him why is he so afraid of me finding him and what will happen once I do find him I will find you Uncle Matt I will find out what you are There's a man in the baby's room it's odd that I was dreaming about my daughter the moment before I opened my eyes and saw her peering at me beside my nightstand in

the inky darkness of my bedroom I could just make out her six-year-old outline her hands threaded together at her waist fulfilling her dubious man when disturbing someone of authority chubby cheeks that always pulled her lips into a smirk that curly blonde hair she got from her mother who Was delicately snoring beside me I was groggy and no sunlight had penetrated the windows yet so I knew it was the middle of the night Lucy daddy there's a man in the baby's room such Sinister words from the sweetest voice in a Flash I ripped the covers from

my body waken my wife in the process then raced down the hallway pass the pictures hung on the wall and into the bedroom on the end with a simple flick of a switch I was exposed to my two-month-old son's room The mint colored walls the boxes of gifted diapers from the baby shower a basket of plush animals a tub of pacifiers and wipes but behind the crib where my son Noah is sleeping was something appalling an intruder crawling through the window the Intruder craned his neck when the light blasted on and alerted him of my

presence it was then when I noticed the knife the man was large with greasy long hair and an unkempt beard he smelled of body odor That sour putrid smell of vaporized drugs I leapt into action before he could achieve a sturdy footing or leverage the knife to his Advantage I skirted the crib where my son still slept and removed a heavily book end from the bookcase then as unsupported baby books tumbled off the shelf I bludgeoned the Intruder in the arms as he flailed and teetered on the window sill after the Intruder took several Miss

swipes with a knife my aim became Focused on his head after my weapon made contact with his skull a few times s he withdrew into the backyard lumbering awkwardly around our flower bed before hobbling over our fence and disappearing into the dark Street I picked up Noah who thankfully was still sleeping in oblivious and held him firmly against my chest what's going on why is the window open I heard my wife ask behind me as she came into the Noah's room call 911 now we just had an intruder what she Laughed now I demanded loud

enough to vocally project my fear but un intentionally lifted Noah from Slumber she phoned the police as I flipped on every light switch in the house especially the exterior ones and crued through the rooms with Noah on my hip doing my best to calm him it took two laps through the living room but eventually he was calm enough for my wife and I to talk about her phone call will you tell me what happened she asked Yeah sorry I yelled earlier I was just emotional you know it's okay what's happened somebody was trying to break

into the house through Noah's room I forgot to lock the window after repainted his room remember we opened it for ventilation I'm so sorry honey something could have stop it my wife demanded no it was okay you're okay I'm okay everyone is fine you're right police are on their way they'll find the guy he won't be hard to pick out of the Line up some drug idled Thief looking for a score what made you wake up was no crying I paused for him to consider an answer then looked at my Curious eyed son yeah nose

crying woke me I feel terrible I slept right through his crying fit don't worry everything turned out for the best how about some coffee hun she went to the kitchen I heard the coffee pot being washed I took note of the hallway and propped his body up on my side so he was eye Lev with the Photographs that line the hallway I showed my son a picture of a six-year-old girl with blonde curls that flanked a grin between chubby cheeks that's Lucy Noah she's your big sister Noah with tiny Stumpy fingers reached out and planted

a palm on the frame I always knew she would be a good sister she died before you were born Noah and your mother and I miss her every day but it's good to know she's still looking out for her little Brother I caught my grandfather talking to an air vent my grandfather isn't the type of man who is particularly communicative actually he barely bothers to speak at all unless it's a grunt of satisfaction aimed at a piece of pork chop or a prod to turn the TV channel back to golf my mother says he's just

selective with his words I prefer to call him what he is a dick he's always been this way even when I was an adorable little toddler teetering my way Around his living room he barely acknowledged me he would just sit in his plush armchair and read the paper ignoring my squeals of delight as I practice my dance recital in front of him papy papy look I would squawk in his Direction he would just shift his newspaper higher in his lap to hide me from his view it was always Grandma who offered me any sort of

grandparent related Comfort she dotted on me throughout my childhood pinching my Cheeks baking me cookies cooing at every sound or accomplishment I made so when she passed away last spring I was heartbroken apparently so was my grandfather that's when my mother cooked up the idea for a granddaughter grandfather bonding Extravaganza she shipped me off to live with him for 2 weeks during summer vacation while she took a honeymoon with her new husband even though I am 15 I'm purely capable of staying alone for 2 weeks my mother Just couldn't resist the opportunity to Kickstart the

grandfatherly affection that should have taken place the day I popped out of the womb you have fun honey she said earnestly as she practically kicked me out of the moving car he doesn't even talk I yelled in frustration yes he does my mother rer eyes you just have to listen the first week and a half ticked by by pretty much like I expected we ignored each other in Gruff silence and ate our meals Separately him in front of the TV and me in the guest room it wasn't until the last night of my visit that

I got up in the middle of the night to piss only to find a light shining from his bedroom curious I peaked around from around the corner my grandfather was sitting in his armchair a glass of scotch in his hand and eyes puffy from tears his gaze was trained towards the air vent next to his bed I wish you were still here he whispered I could barely hear him over The clink of the ice in the glass you wish who were here I asked lightly stepping forward his gaze up towards me and he beckoned me

to sit down on the edge of the bed I balanced myself on the edge and looked back at him nervously I don't think we've ever sat this close next to each other wordlessly he handed me the glass of scotch I took a sip and let the liquid bite my tongue sending shivers down my spine I handed it back to him I think it's time you know about My sister murmured this is his story in his words I know you don't think very highly of me I don't think very highly of me either honestly there are

a lot of things I would change if I could you're young but you'll understand that one day my parents and I lived here ever since I was a little boy back then after the war this place was like a castle I loved living here this was actually my room believe it or not and for an 8-year-old Boy it was my kingdom I used to pretend that my mother and father were the king and queen and I was the prince I would rule over my stuffed animals as if they were subjects my parents actually encouraged it

they thought it was cute my mother was a homemaker back then most women were so she was always around to cook and clean and play my childish games with me my father was different he was attentive when he was home but he was rarely home see he was a preacher he Was a man of faith when you are young you just trust your parents you take them on their word you believe what they say and you have no reason to consider otherwise so when they told me to go to church three times a week I

dutifully followed through it was fun being The Preacher's Son my mother and I always seemed to bathe in a Heavenly glow whenever we went people knew us as the perfect family a family of faith in God and virtue my father was known as a man Of God someone the community should trust in so when my father told me to ignore the sounds coming from the attic I did I first noticed the sounds the day we moved in I was sleeping when I heard a muffled cry coming from the air vent the cry was immediately silenced

with a dull thud I fell back to sleep instantly for the next few weeks I would hear the occasional pitter patter of footsteps or the offbeat thud in the middle of the night my father told me that we had rats I learned to grow accustomed to the random spurts of noise much as children do then one night I was playing in my room when I should have been sleeping I held my fake sword up to my stuffed animals and pretended to Knight them I was asking them to bow down to me when I heard it

hello the voice was a muffled Echo barely reaching my ears it was a girl's voice I think that's why I paid it so much attention I wasn't allowed to have girls in the House someone there The Voice echoed again I realized at this point that it was coming from the air vent next to my bed I quickly scrambled towards it letting my fake sword clatter to the floor who's there I asked using the bravest voice I had I Polly I live in attic it's then that I noticed how childish the voice sounded how strain it

was I bent my head closer to the vent you my brother The Voice asked I'm not sure are you my sister I encountered Don't know Daddy says I have brother but won't tell let me see him why not Daddy said something wrong with me is there I can't think real good oh who's your father I asked Michael Larsson that's my father I yelled excitedly that means that you must be my sister if we have the same father that how it work I think so but I I guess I don't really know I don't know either

we were silent for a little while why do you live in the attic I finally asked the question Burning the roof of my mouth daddy say I can't leave because I'm not like everyone else so you've never been outside don't think so Polly said nervously not allowed to talk about it oh I sat back on the bed puzzled I'm uh I'm going to bed I said hesitantly into the air vent oh okay Polly answered back her face faltered in for a moment I thought she was going to cry but but I'll be back I said

urgently trying to calm her down you will of course I'm Your brother I assured her and I your sister the next morning I woke up excited Not only was it Saturday but I had a sister I bounded down the stairs two at a time eager for breakfast like every Saturday my mother had laid out a full breakfast were spread for us after father led us in our morning prayer I dug into the steaming pancakes and sausages on my plate whoa wo there champ my father laughed as he watched me shoveling the food into my mouth

what's The rush I want to finish quickly so I can go play with my sister I explained through a body of toast my mother's face went Stone gray as if she had just seen a ghost my father clenched his jaw and very carefully put down his fork and knife they didn't make a sound MJ he said with an edge he couldn't hide you don't have a sister I looked up from my plate confused yes I do she lives enough my dad roared pounding the table with his fist my mom was now looking down at Her

hands folded neatly in her lap I saw a small tear fall onto her plate can't you see you're making your mother upset with your lies he hissed but but I'm not go to your room this instant MJ he demanded and if you try to lie to us again I promise you that you will never get to leave your room I pushed back my chair and ran from the table hot messy tears sliding down my face I threw myself onto my bed and cried at the unfairness of it all after a few minutes I heard her

you okay paully asked anger flat outed my chest no I spat bitterly I got in trouble and it's all your fault what happened I could hear her concern but I didn't care I told my dad that I had a sister and he yelled at me and grounded me I hiccuped between sobs you told Daddy we talked she said in a panic voice kind of you shouldn't done that I could hear her voice trembling I going to be in real trouble he he could kill me yeah well you deserve it I screamed At the air vent

you ruined my whole day I was fine before I met you I could now hear Polly crying through the air vent I thought her muffled sobs would make me feel better but they only made me feel worse guilt bubbled in my stomach I put a pillow over my head to drown out her crying I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up the pillow was on the floor and I could hear Polly again but this time she wasn't alone no no she whimpered how did you find a way to talk To him a voice

hiss at her I immediately sat up my heart pounding in my ears I knew that voice no no i' be good i' be good Polly cried back I could hear a thump and Polly cry out I pressed my ear closer to the event I talked to no one you're lying my father's voice yelled back no I good I don't lie I heard another thump and now Polly was crying louder I shivered as I listened to what was happening above my head you better be my good little girl my father replied You know what happens when

you're a bad girl please please no I good I very good take your clothes off no no I I don't lie Paulie's voice was interrupted by another slap I heard her cry out and I had to clamp my hands over my mouth so I wouldn't either you heard me my father challenged take your clothes off I sprinted from my bedroom and ran all the way downstairs a part of me really hoped to see my dad sitting in the living room when I rounded the corner I prayed I Begged God that I would see my father

sitting in his favorite chair I prayed that I was just imagining things that my creativity had gotten the better of me but when I turned into the living room I saw only my mother sitting rigidly on the sofa as she knitted mother I said tears were still dripping from my face mother where's father I was shaking she looked up at me with a sad smile he's praying darling are you telling the truth of course dear she said but her Eyes told me something different come on now she said let's listen to something on the radio

your favorite program should be starting soon I took my seat besides her and she could turned on the radio she hummed as she continued knitting her mouth pressed in a firm and tight line she held the needle so tightly that her fingertips were turning white I love your father she said I know mother I know my father's knife cut through the steak as if he was cutting Through butter the meat bled lightly just how he liked it are you done lying MJ he asked without looking up from his plate yes sir I am I answered

back I let my imagination get the better of me he smiled at me and pointed his knife towards my mother what do you have to say to the woman who gave birth to you my face flushed red I'm sorry mother there's my good boy he said as he continues to eat I think you learned your lesson then I did the dinner talk Then turned towards my church fundraiser happening the next weekend my mother promised she would bake her famous peacon pie my father discussed who from Bible study would be attending after dinner I excused myself

to my bedroom Paulie I whispered into the air vent I heard a small series of sniffling as if she was crying guilt boiled in my chest Polly I'm sorry I mumbled can you forgive me I guess Polly replied are you okay no I looked around my room for a Second well whenever I'm sad I like to play a game I explained as I picked up my toy sword do you want to play with me okay okay well I'll be the prince and you can be the princess and we both have kingdoms that we can rule

yours can be the attic and mine can be my bedroom does that sound fun I heard her sniffle I be princess of course I assured her you can be anything you want to be and that's how it started with the game we would wait until I heard my father go to Sleep every night and then we would give our secret code I would tap the inside of the air vent twice and if she could talk she would tap right back then we knew it was safe to play some nights we would rule over our kingdoms

while other nights I would read her stories from one of my books some nights we would just talk it was nice having her around I grew accustomed to her our routine but like all routines sometimes they Break sometimes I would tap into the air vent and hear nothing back except some weird groans in the occasional thud when I would go downstairs I would always see my father knitting silently in the living room Knuckles white father was nowhere to be seen that's how I knew he was in the Attic with paully paully didn't like to talk

much after those times what outside like paully asked one night I was lying on my back my head toward the air event I pondered for a Second it's big I guess I said lamely but it's cold now because it's almost Christmas time there's a lot of snow what's snow like you've never seen snow no well I said why don't I show you Polly paused I don't leave attic ever I sat up on my bed what if you left just once I can come and get you I can take you outside so you can see the

snow then I can take you back father won't have to know like like secret poly asked I could hear The excitement Bellow out of her outside outside she yelled forgetting the hush tones we normally used I laughed yes let's do it I screamed as I got up in the excitement when paully yelled we can go right who are you talking to my father interrupted my face turned beat red as I turned from the air vent to face him I was caught no no no one I rumbled weakly I'm just playing a game My Father's Eyes

wandered to where my stuffed animal animal were shoved away Into the corner forgotten and abandoned with who he challenged no one sir just myself his face turned to stone and he nodded gruffly at me carry on then just try to keep it down and he turned out the door I nearly [ __ ] myself with relief that he had believed me I waited a few minutes before I spoke again let's wait until he goes to bed then I can take you I whispered but I didn't get a response paully I asked after a few more

minutes paully do you do you still want To go outside no my father's voice answered back she doesn't I clapped my hands over my mouth and bolted upright from my bed MJ paully answered back weakly help but I stood Frozen I didn't move when I heard thud after thud after thud I didn't move when paully whimpered out from her brother I didn't move when I heard my father smack her and I still didn't move when the attic turned as silent as the snow outside I stood there in the middle of my room with my hands

Bed into fist at my side I stood there as I heard my father leave the attic his step staggered and heavy I stood there as I saw the porch light blinking into life outside of the window and I stood there as I watched my father digging digging and digging all night long in the morning there was a raised patch of dirt under the maple tree that wasn't covered with snow like the rest of the backyard in the air vent the air vent was Silent my grandfather put put down his glass and stared back towards the

air vent the room seemed heavier now her her name was paully I asked he nodded like you he smiled weakly when you were born I asked your mother to name me Polly does she know why she knows I had a sister she doesn't know much else I was silent for a second what did you do after after it happened my grandfather looked down into his drink nothing just like what I did when it was Happening what was wrong with her I asked slowly why I did why did your father keep her locked away he was

silent for a moment before he took a swig of his drink I think she had Down syndrome I think my father was ashamed of that he sighed Grandpa I'm so don't he interrupted it's not necessary we sat in sils for a few minutes listening to The Gentle hum of the air vent paully would have made a Fine princess as I whispered he smiled and for a second I could have sworn that I saw the flicker of what he had been like as an 8-year-old boy yes he agreed she would have the worst wedding I've ever

photographed I've been a wedding photographer for nearly 10 years and I thought I'd seen it all trashy beautiful tragic hilarious or just bizarre I have stories have the typical tycal groom getting caught getting in on with the Maid of honor family getting into the brawls Brides Odin in the bathroom gay couples having no one attend their wedding or Worse the one Uninvited homophobic relative crashing to just be a dick stories but we weren't here for the typical stories if we were we'd be here all day we're here for the wedding from last October fall weddings

are probably my favorite if I ever get married I'll probably get hitched in the fall it was the parents of the Bride who Came to me asking for my services for a wedding in 2 weeks the original photographer apparently up and quit on them and they were desperate to have their darling daughter's wedding immortalized in picture format luckily for them I had a clear schedule I did charge them quite a bit extra for the suddenness of it all but judging by the father's Rolex it wasn't that big a deal one thing I'm good at guessing

is a family's wealth status and once again I Was on point the SE RS were rolling in D not that I like them though I'm not required to like all my clients although it does make things a bit more relaxing Harold seite absolutely leared at my chest whenever he thought I wasn't looking and Carol was clearly the trophy wife that was over the hill I've never seen a human being that genuinely look more like plastic than her nothing wrong with plastic surgery or Botox but there's got to be a c off at some point I

think I should have been more off put by the parents coming to me rather than the bride but I just figured said bride was busy with other wedding planning [ __ ] and didn't think too hard on it day came and uh oh boy I realized I was getting into something I didn't want to be a part of right away first time I saw the bride Tanya I had a brief moment of I don't know how old this girl is she could have been 16 she could have just been 18 definitely not over 20 though

I've seen young marriages when it's a shotgun Affair but then I met the groom Marcel Windgate who was definitely no younger than 30 and Marcel was just something just fell off the man was giant for one he towered over me let alone Tanya with his long pale face and sunken eyes he could have been [ __ ] lurked from The Adams Family when he shook my hand and introduced himself I barely repressed a shiver but years of practice helped me to smile and act like There wasn't something slimy about all this Tanya never said a

word when she was made over for a big day only Carol did chirping and twittering about how about you make your hair a little bigger or make her eyes pop she has such pretty eyelashes luckily Carol had to go have a smoke every 15 minutes so the makeup and hair people could have a moment to actually work by the time it was all over Tanya looked perfect her dress was basically a white ball gown a TI was Placed in her strawberry blonde hair cheeks plushing a perfect pink but unlike most Brides she still hadn't said

a word and those weren't sure as hell tears of joy she was holding back I'm sure you've heard about the first look photo fad I find it great to get that perfect expression a groom makes when he sees the bride in her dress for the first time it's usually quite cute this was the first time I've shot a first look photo where I truly believe it was The first time the bride and groom have actually looked at each other Marcel did seem to have his breath taken away by his lovely bride but her expression was

less than thrilled as he took her hand and gave it a tight squeeze my stomach turned when he leaned in for a kiss on the cheek and she quite obviously flinched it's time I put a pin on the myth that arranged marriages only happen in foreign countries and only people from certain cultures take part in it They happen all the time in the US and more often than not it's an old man who wants a virgin bride and by virgin I mean still in [ __ ] high school this wouldn't even be the first one

I was hired to photograph I managed to catch Tanya alone in the room she got ready in sitting next to the open window and twirling an unlit cigarette between her fingers need a light I offered as I came in no thanks I don't smoke they say it makes you feel better right she said Looking up at me with those doll-like blue eyes it also gives you lung and throat cancer I took the cigarette from her and lit it up for myself but I'm not a bad example so do as I say not as I do

now that got a smile out of her even if it only asked a second how often do you smoke she asked depends on the day usually have two or three bad day I can have a few few more I lowered the cigarette and looked down at her how old are you Tanya 19 20 in a few weeks I have a bit of a baby face she poked one of her cheeks why do you care I glanced at the door to make sure Carol wasn't going to barge in Tanya are you not okay with this the

the wedding I asked quietly Tanya's eyes widened damn you're good she also glanced at the door Herold my step bad arranged all of this if he had it his way it would have happened when I was 15 but Marcel kept delaying business apparently he tried to delay another Year but my dad implied he had other offers she shivered and wrapped her arms around herself if I said no Harold would kick me out and cut me off froze in my bank account i' have nothing and no one and you don't know what I'd do if that

happened I reached into my purse and pulled out one of my business cards flip the card over has a number for woman shelter they specialize in helping women escape from dangerous home situations hides them helps them get started in a New city if they need be below that is my personal home number if you just need to talk okay Tony took the card and clung it onto tightly before tucking it into her bra you might be the nicest person I've ever met she murmured and gave her shoulder a squeeze I try I said before I

stinging a cigarette on the window sill if you need to escape anytime tonight just ask me to help you go to the bathroom we can pull a whole Runaway Bride I joked That got another laugh out of her just in time for her mom to pop into the room well what's taking so long hurry up the wedding's going to be starting in 15 minutes and I don't want you to cry and make your face all blotchy and ugly she whed Tony's brief Joy faded she gave me one more sad look before following her mother out

the ceremony would have been so much more beautiful if I didn't know the dirty little secret behind it all T didn't smile once I don't think even one Of the Bridesmaids was an actual friend of hers or at least not a sincere one and the priest said you may kiss the bride Tanya let one tear slip down her cheek when Marcel leaned down to kiss her I was seriously considering calling the cops but what could they do T would likely cave and say nothing was wrong and since she wasn't a minor they couldn't label marel

a pedo and her stepfather a child seller it still didn't make the situation any less Shitty all I could do was snap pictures of the worst day of Tanya's life at the reception I was constantly being nagged by Carol but what pictures to take to the point where I wanted to rip her hair out but I did notice something different about the first dance between the couple Tanya at first was stiff as a board reluctant to even touch Marcel but he leaned down and whispered something in her ear her entire demeanor changed in a blink

of an eye to one of surprise and I Managed to read her lips really Marcel nodded and I managed to catch a picture of the first smile Tanya had since she said I Do by the end of the dance she was actually starting to get into it it resting her head on his chest as she swayed to A Thousand Years it was a complete 180 change Tanya was now one of the happiest and dare I say flirtiest Brides I've ever seen she even leaned up to kiss him on the cheek as they sat down something

that took even marshel by Surprise judging by how he blushed I genuinely started to wonder if Marcel slipped something into her drink to get her acting so happy when Carol started to nag me again about where her husband was she was the kind of mother who forgot this was her child's wedding instead of her own and she wanted pictures of her and Harold in order to get the [ __ ] away from her I told her I'd go find him he'd been hitting the open bar a little hard that night I Assumed he was in

the bathroom either throwing up or cheating on his wife it could have gone either way at that point when I approached the men's bathroom I heard something that sounded like gargling or swallowing ew I know but I kind of hoped to ruin this nasty bitch's day if her husband really was cheating so I opened that bed bathroom door with my camera at the ready I made eye contact with Harold or rather I made eye contact with Harold's head it was Sitting in the sink expression Twisted in abject horror the room was soaked in blood body

parts strewn around the floor meanwhile Marcel had stripped out of his tuxedo and currently swallowing Harold's arm whole now I was wondering if I'd had something slipped into my champagne humans can't just unhinge their jaw like that each gulp taking Mar 's arm deeper down his throat I saw the tip of Harold's finger disappear with a small wave of goodbye and then I dropped my Camera yes I heard something break no I didn't care I just saw the groom eat the goddamn Father of the Bride Marcel's head shot up in his eyes before now they

were a dull watery gray but now they are model Brown and red with slitted pupils I felt Frozen when those eyes looked at me oh I'm terribly sorry one moment Marcel turned to the sink that was free of a man's head and vomited I heard several things clatter on the porcelain before he fletched them out and watched Them off with an embarrassed clearing of his throat he walked up to me and pulled me into the bathroom I thought I was dead but instead Marcel placed several diamonds in my palm for the camera I didn't mean

to startle you he said uh-huh I managed to get out as I stared at the literal handful of diamonds this would pay for more than a camera why did you devour Harold oh I've wanted to do that for years Marcel chuckled as he grabbed some paper towels to wipe off His chin like that would take away from the fact he was still naked and bloody in front of me a terrible person actually tastes quite Divine you would taste absolutely terrible be like swallowing Nails meanwhile a man who offers his own daughter as a sacrificial lamb

do something he knows eats humans he tastes like the richest cut of steak cooked medium rare and seasoned to Perfection jees Jesus Christ this Twisted situation had taken on a whole Now level [ __ ] up wait he seriously oh absolutely Marshall snorted he do it again all for what happens when my stomach process his human bone I clutch the diamonds you're you're not going to hurt Tanya I asked Marcel shook his head vigorously God no I kept delaying the wedding in hopes that she'd manage to find a way out but I think Harold was

getting bored with my cold feet there would be plenty of other people willing to pay for her even if my payment would Be easily rice what others would offer God I was starting to feel a little dizzy here I was talking to a human eating groom I glanced out of the door and a horrible idea entered my brain one that would surely earn Marshall's good favor and help out Tanya so if I told Carol she could find her husband in the men's room I asked Marshall seemed puzzled for a second but caught on quickly with

a nod he picked up the head and tossed it into one of the Stalls I Heard it Splash in one of the toilets and I almost started giggling I was nearing hysteria go right ahead head I'll be waiting he said as he kicked more limbs out of sight I almost left when I had to ask one more question what the hell are you Marcel cocked his head to the side before he changed just for a second one moment he was a blood soaked man absolutely horrifying but normal the next he was a snake sort of

his body was gone replaced by the body of an anaconda But his head was still the same minus the flick of a slim Fork tongue from his mouth then he was back to normal he responded with with a shrug funnily enough I was hoping you'd tell me I don't have a clue I left the bathroom and bumped into Carol almost immediately in the hallway well where is she she snapped I just pointed a thumb towards the bathroom think he's not feeling so well I said before I was nearly bowled over by the grumpy [ __

] I watched long Enough for her to open the door for a scaled tail to shoot out snag her around the arm and drag her into the bathroom before I headed back to the wedding the problem seemed to solve itself that night Marcel came back the men's room locked after apparently someone got quite sick in there Tanya no longer had to behave a certain way to please her mom I think she had a good night I used my backup camera to make sure to get all the pictures of her smiling Carol and Harold vanished Into

Thin Air never to be seen her heard from again and those diamonds paid for quite the nice new camera like I said it's been a year I sure as hell haven't forgetting that wedding what prompted me to share it was that I got a friend request from T on Facebook they normally don't accept friend requests from previous clients but this one time I chose to make an exception she does look so much better she's going to college she now sculpts And paints she regular with volunteers at the woman shelter I directed to her when we

first met and every Friday night is a group date night at the local arcade with some of Marcel's friends that now appear to be her friends as well apparently Marcel is quite the Dance Dance Revolution Master but is terrible at shooting games her most recent picture was her and Marcel smiling and she was holding up an ultrasound Picture I'm a janitor and I accidentally participated in the Harvard Wormhole experiment they gave me a million bucks to keep my trap shut and I did for 15 years but last night I was making the rounds and I

saw the professor again I had a heart attack 3 years back and I tell you when I saw him standing there in front of room 204 I felt another one coming on he turned and smiled and it was like he hadn't aged a day in 15 years hey there chief he said that was It I dropped my clipboard on the ground and high tailed it out of there never looking back what I'm about to tell you is liable to make me sound crazier than a three-horned goat but I promise you there's crazier things out there

the cops don't believe me the official story is that the professor and those students died 15 years ago room 204 just up and exploded they said damn this thing and there's some truth there but the room did explode but it wasn't an accident we Knew exactly what we were doing or we thought we did they call me an assistant supervisor of Maintenance but really I'm a janitor and always have been you might wonder why I'm still at it after getting that million bucks that dough is for junior so he doesn't have to go through the

same [ __ ] that I did the night this happened I was assigned to the astrophysics Center a bit Northwest of the main Harvard campus until told that night this was always my favorite beat I Mean God help you if you wound up at one of the biology Labs those godamn dead cut open animals all over the place used to give me nightmares and really thinking back I'd take those nightmares of mutilated and Scattered organs any night over the stuff that has haunted me ever since anyway I was there mopping the hallway on the second

floor of the lab building when the door to room 204 opened up and this guy popped his head out hey you I looked around to make sure He was talking to me uh yes can I help you sir I thought he was going to [ __ ] about the room being a mess or something how'd you like to make a th000 bucks Chief an hour's work at most easy money does that sound good to you it sure did things were tight at home as they always were 1,000 bucks would knock off some of those long

overdue bills but I was also on a tight schedule they didn't give you much Breathing Room don't want you standing around thinking about it all I Guess that sounds great sir I said but I got to stick to my beat the man laughed we're about to make history chief he said you're worried about emptying the bathroom trash come on don't sweat it you won't get in much trouble I promise I'm a I'm a professor here I'll vouch for you the guy did look like a professor with carefully combed gray hair and a big old glasses

on his face I Shrugged leaned in my mop against the wall and said sure what do I have to do That's fantastic come on in Chief come on in I followed him into the room one look and I should have just turned around then and there and told him to keep his damn money but I didn't as soon as I stepped in I felt the little hairs all over my body stand up I don't mean I was scared I mean like there was an electrical charge in that room and I had a guess about where

it was coming from there in the center of the room on a round table was a large glass globe Crackling with electricity like what you see if you go into a kids science museum like they somehow created a lightning storm and a glass ball this one was sort of vibrating around on its stand and buzzing and the lighting inside was black I could feel the electricity coming from it from across the room there were four kids there students I guess sitting in a row of chairs along the wall more than sitting they were strapped into

those chairs With metal things over their heads like those big bowls things you see at a hair salon they all had their eyes closed uh I said what what's going on here those those kids okay they're quite fine said the professor as to what is going on as I said we're about to make history we're going to open the first Wormhole Wormhole I said like in the movies my professor laughed I suppose so chief he said now listen we had a last minute cancellation and that's okay because It's an easy job we're going to be

kicking things off here shortly and once they are properly kicked off The Wormhole will open I will enter if I'm not back in 30 minutes you are to pull that lever there and this will close the war Wormhole I looked to where he was pointing at a big red lever attached to a giant whirling machine that was hooked up to the metal bows over the students heads but uh won't you be trapped on the other side of the Wormhole I asked not That I had the slightest idea of what what the hell was going on

just so Chief said the professor we've got this down to two possibilities one the Wormhole opens up to what we're calling the second Universe the best way that I can explain the possibility is that there a different reality that exists on the other side of this one the other side of an invisible wall the Wormhole will provide a door in that wall and the other possibility that the Wormhole will Open to a place that man is not meant to go 30 minutes will give me enough time to get in and out if the first possibility

is true and if it's the second then you'll close the hole with that lever and my students will destroy my work this was all way above my pay grade and my head was spinning why only two possibilities how the hell did they come up with those two and if this real why the hell would the professor take a coin toss chance of getting stuck in the Place that man was not meant to go I mean those were just starter questions among the Swarm that was buzzing around my head I see that you have some reservation

said the professor I assure you that your job is to pull that lever after 30 minutes that's it Chief we'll take care of the rest and anything that happens isn't on you the documentation is quite in order he tapped a folder that was sitting on the circular table and here I'll write you a check now Before you proceed as he wrote out the check I wondered if it would still be valid if he got swallowed up in the Wormhole I actually had that thought as crazy as sounds it was still all so weird and Abstract

to me at that point here he said handing over the check let's do it Chief as soon as I enter that hole give me exactly 30 minutes on the dot that's all you have to do I took the check mumbled a thanks watched as he walked over to the machine he pulled the Lever there was a loud cracking sound and I watched in unease as one by one the students eyes shot open there were no peoples there like their eyes were rolled back in their sockets hey now I said taking a step towards the machine

they are quite fine said the professor I assure you their jaws started to move like they were grinding their teeth the professor took a jar of neon blue liquid from a shelf on the wall he unscrewed the lid and poured the stuff over the Electric globe on the Round Table the thing started going crazy and then the globe shattered completely bits of glass flying through the air as shoots of Black Lightning Zapped out into the room I duck down I had had enough by then and was ready to get the hell out of there then

it happened a [ __ ] black hole appeared in the middle of the room sucking in the bolts of electricity it grew larger and larger until it took up half the room all I could hear was this Rushing sound like the world's largest vacuum cleaner running at Full Throttle remember Chief shouted the professor with a wild look on his face 30 minutes exactly and he stepped into the thing and was gone at first my mind was a mess staring at this whooshing black hole that seemed hungry to suck everything in I looked at the kids

hooked up to the machine their eyes rolled black white holes I guess they looked like their jaws grinding Away like crazy it was too much to make sense of I looked down at my watch 15 minutes and 31 seconds had gone by since the professor got swallowed up by the wormhole my heart was pounding and I kept pacing back and forth back and forth trying to work out what the hell was going on then I started to zero it in on it I was getting pranked not a prank like we used to do as kids

setting dog [ __ ] on somebody's front steps and all that EDS see I mean a prank like These sophisticated College folk do where they tell you something's going on but the whole point is to just observe your reaction a psychological experiment probably camera is in here watching me right now see what I do 12 minutes ago I saw a tricker of Blood come down from one of the kids nose I leaned down to look at him closely he was shaking a little bit all over if I throw that lever this I'll probably stop maybe

that was the test I had to decide between Trapping the professor in the black hole and saving the kids hooked up to the machines none of it was real of course but they didn't know that I knew that but then screaming in the back of my mind was that voice what if it is real 10 minutes to go the professor had promised me that the kids were all right another one started bleeding from the nose if it wasn't real it was a hell of a trick where did the professor go if not through that black

hole I thought About touching it but whenever I got close I was filled with total Terror it sure seemed real like it really took you someplace far far away from here I walked over to the table and picked up the folder that was there just like the professor had said the first page was instructions to shut down the machine and destroy it if he didn't return within 30 minutes I flipped that page over the next one had a photograph of one of the students I read what it said It was a consent form I Jackson

Stewart acknowledge the possibility of imminent death if I participate in this experiment I'm prepared to give my life to science I flipped that page there were three more just like it now I'm no lawyer but there was no way in hell that was an experiment was legal if it was real even with those consent forms so it probably wasn't real and if it was then the Professor lied to me he had said that the kidss were fine this folder was Telling me something else 2 minutes to go I took a deep breath and paced the

room watching each second tick by my mind was telling me that none of it was real but my gut was screaming in horror I just looked at my watch it'd be over soon enough one way or the other 30 seconds I walked over to the machine and put my hand on the lever God damn it why is he cutting it so close I watched the seconds tick by I didn't know if I could do it I didn't know if I could risk Trapping the professor wherever the hell he had gone off to 5 Seconds my

hand was shaking 4 seconds sweat was pouring down my face dripping into my eyes 3 seconds one of my students started to moan the one that I saw was named Jackson in the folder 2 seconds oh God oh God oh God one second Jackson started to shake 0 seconds [ __ ] I tensed my muscles to pull the lever one look at Jackson and I knew I had to pull it he was violently jerking around now wait I snapped my Neck around to see the professor's head sticking out of the black hole wait damn it

then his shoulders went through I turned back to Jackson Blood was pouring out of his eyes I'm almost through a second kid started to shake one more second I looked to see that the professor was through he was back in the room do it he shouted two things happened after that at the exact same time I heard a wet popping sound and I watched as the Wormhole disappeared as Though it was never there but I had never pulled that lever I slowly turned to look at Jackson his head was gone judging by the bits of

brain and splatters of Blood on the bow thing above his neck his head had just exploded the whirling of the machine gradually died down and then it was silent the three kids who were still alive stopped shaking and closed their eyes a tragedy said the professor pointing at Jackson with the exploded Head but not for nothing I've been there I've seen it Chief I've seen it I hunched over and puked it was weird but my first thought was what a mess I'll have to clean up later I don't know I guess my mind had sort

of shut down and I was going on autopilot I Was the janitor I cleaned up messes that was all I knew then it hit me the reality of what had happened you son of a [ __ ] I yelled you told me those kids would be okay the professor put this sickening Smug grin on his face he would have been Chief had you pulled a lever at the 30- minute Mark as instructed you told me to wait did I yes you [ __ ] I'm calling the police I had a walkie clip to my belt

it wouldn't give me the police but it would give me camp in security I reached for it and had it in my hand when I heard a groan beside me I turned to see that it was one of the kids they were waking up I went over to untrap them from the chairs the first kid's Eyes blinked open and when she saw the professor she started screaming it's okay I said shh it's okay it's okay it's all over she kept screaming then the second kid woke up he looked right at me with wide terrified eyes

get us out of here he shouted I'm working on it kid I said fumbling at the straps they were on tight the third kid woke up it's here she said it made it through everything's okay now I said your friend didn't make it I'm afraid but it's over I'll make Sure the professor pays for what he did to you and your friends the first kid was still screaming at the top of her lungs get us out of here shouted the second kid again the third kid looked at me dead in the eyes and in a

totally calm voice said that's not the professor what of course it is I said what I saw when I turned to look at the professor will ha me forever the professor's mouth was twisting around at odd angles like something was moving the lower half of His jaw randomly or like he was trying to get a hair out of his mouth that kept jumping around the veins on his neck bulged then sunk back down then bulged again so that they were thick as ropes his wrists were rotating in ways they weren't supposed to rotate as his

arms flailed around wildly I had the first kid the screaming one free she jumped out of the chair and ran to the door but her legs were wobbly and she tripped over herself in the middle of the room I Went to work on the second kid whipping my head around every second to look at the professor it looked like there was something crawling around under his skin something big get us out of here the second kid shouted yet again the first kid was still on the ground screaming I worked away furiously on the straps if

you believe in God said the third kid with an eerie calm then pray I took a glance at the professor and that's when the first bone burst out of his chest Through his suit I call it a but it was pure black and dripping with green slime as for me said the third kid I do not believe that there is a God not after what I've seen the second kid was free and made a run for it I scooted over to the third kid and but watch as the professor reached out an arm and grabbed

the second kid by the top of his head the professor gave one quick twist and let go I heard a terrible snap and the kid slum to the ground dead three more Black bones came out of the professor's chest dripping he laughed and bent down to the first kid who was still screaming as bones began to poke out of his back like a [ __ ] stegosaurus from hell what is that thing I asked as I fumbled as the straps said the last kid he does not belong here said the kid no [ __ ]

I said getting one strap free but what is it it comes from a terrible place a place where there's nothing save pain endless pain incomprehensible to our Minds great I muttered as I noticed with a sinking heart that the screams from the girl behind me had stopped then I heard a wet crunch I couldn't help it I looked to see the professor teing into that poor girl's throat with a long black Fang dripping in green slime I turned back to the kid almost done with the straps just a few more seconds what's your name anyway

kid Claire CLA I said my mind trying to stay focused when I get you out of these straps I want you To pick up this chair and throw it at that thing okay I'll do the same thing okay then we make a run for it do you understand can you do that I understand said CLA I do hope it works I did hope it would work too we have to make it work Claire I said yanking off the last strap come on we stood up together and reached over to pick up a chair I hled

it at the professor with all of my strength and it shattered against his boned back I heard a terrible shriek Then and watched as cla's chair followed behind I grabbed cla's arms with one hand and reached for my pocket knife with the other the only way out of that room meant passing by the professor we started running as I pulled the knife out and it flicked up the professor Stood Still shrieking as the green slime mixed with the red blood from the kid's throat and dripped down his chin it took a wild stab at the

professor professor's neck and connected I kept running with CLA leaving the knife stuck in the professor's neck and made it to the door I had my hand around the knob when I felt CLA pulling away from me I looked back helpless as I saw the professor reach long black claws into her gut I threw the door open and left her there good God I left her there I made it outside the lab building somehow I don't remember how my mind just sort of sh down as I ran like hell I guess I did have the

presence to go around and lock All the doors from the outside then I got on the radio to campus security you guys need to get the police over to the astrophysics Center [ __ ] ASAP there's a [ __ ] massacre in there the front door started to Rattle and I heard the god- aful shriek again repeat said a voice over the walkie look I said call up Lauren Summers right now that was the president of Harvard at the time and I'd seen a signature on the papers in that folder with all of the consent

forms Tell him that Wormhole experiment had gone way the [ __ ] South the rattlings at the door stopped I only prayed that the thing did figure out I could just break a window and crawl out that way this is the janitor right said a different voice on the other end of the walkie is this a joke the Wormhole experiment have you been drinking call Lawrence Summers if you don't I promise you that you'll never be able to live with yourself do it now there's a horrible pause I heard The professor trying the side door

now shrieking once again 104 a fleet of black SUVs pulled up 2 minutes later a team of heavily armed men jumped out and ran past me breaking through windows and jumping inside I heard a stream of gunfire and scream so many screams and the professor's horrible shrieks after a while it was quiet in a second team of men jumped through the broken windows I didn't hear any more gunfire I felt a hand on my shoulder and whipped around a Man was standing there I don't remember a single thing about what he looked like but I

remember our conversation tell me what happened he said I told him the full story the same one that I've told you we are prepared to give you a lot of money to sign an NDA NDA non-disclosure agreement it means that you can never tell anybody about what happened here tonight how much a million dollars and a promotion the man paused you mean you still want to work work here after Tonight somebody's got to clean up that [ __ ] I said fine of course and one more thing and what's that asked the man I want

to know that this will never happen again I want you to blow all that [ __ ] up and burn all the notes of course and I want to watch of course said the man and so I thought it was over but it's not last night I saw the professor again he looked me right in the eyes flashed that smug grin and said hey there Chief that's when I ran the hell out of there The police don't believe me I've sent a dozen emails to Lauren Summer's assistants I've called every number that I found listed

for him I haven't heard anything back I don't know what else to turn to I'm afraid the professor is going to open the Wormhole again and and I'm afraid this time he might bring his friends back with him and all right guys that wraps up horrifying stories from Reddit I really hope you enjoyed this video I enjoyed Recording it and all these stories were super interesting and definitely my favorite was the wedding one I thought that was interesting so let me know what your favorite uh story was down in the comments below that'd be awesome
