Goodbye World [ Backrooms Broadcast ]

The video depicts a hijacker (protagonist of my story) broadcasting footage of a world where everyone has suddenly disappeared from the Backrooms Incident, the signal is cut before the evidence is fully revealed to the public.

Work In Progress Plot

- All video footage was taken by me!
- The slideshow at the end are images from r/liminalspace on Reddit.

the main reason we see fear and nostalgia as we look at the pictures, is simply because of our past experiences, and our confusion with these environments, we go to a store almost every week, but we don't normally see it secluded and empty, because everything is built with a purpose. to not be empty, a house, a church, the mall their not supposed to be empty. they simply weren't built for emptiness. and we all know that. that's why we get the feeling as if humans left behind our aging world to leave it as a surface of ruins of our past.

Omg, liminal spaces, anemoia, kenopsia, analogue horror, and depressing/dystopian music. This is perfect.

Imagine a backrooms movie. I can definitely see something exactly like this being the trailer for it

[nukealien]

The local 58 reference made this even more perfect

No matter how many times people try to make this song creepy it always makes me more sad than anything, it feels like the word "lonely" and my heart aches

[GarftheGreen]

This made me cry and I practically never cry, I can't explain it.

Pov: we’re all listening to this song as the world is ending outside

Imagine you are running from something in the first floor, this tall, lanky monster is madly dashing after you, eyes full of hunger, its former human face twisted in a grin. Then this music starts playing. The monster stops, looking up in a certain direction, little do you know all monsters of the backrooms that day look towards the same thing. You might not see it but the sun itself is giving out, with one last blast it scorches the earth, humanity, technology, nature... every concept we know has been destroyed in seconds. There was nothing anyone could have done... the monster falls on its knees, boney fingers covering his face as he shouts in anger at seeing its former world taken so quickly. The only hope of anything to live on is now this forsaken place... the backrooms of reality.

POV:
You've been in the backrooms longer than you can remember. You haven't seen any other signs of life, not even entities. You found some comfort with music, since you had your phone and ear buds on you when you no-clipped. But it's long since died. You try to comfort yourself by singing songs, though you can't recall most of the lyrics or even the sound of the melodies anymore. You wander aimlessly, endlessly, and all alone. If you could just hear the chorus of your favorite song, one more time.

Bro, this made me tear up so much my bedsheets were like an ocean. It reminded me of a story of a kid who committed suicide because of high school bullying. I imagine these words being the final conversation between the parents and the kid, with the "don't blame yourself" and the "ill say goodbye soon". This stuff really brings the waterworks

[waterbottle]

I'm imagining like some psycho watching this on their phone as the nuke is about to hit the place, and then ends up in the backrooms, stuck there for eternity

POV: This video appeared in your recommended and now you can't stop watching it

[egbertextraordinaire]

All of humanity has been long gone, but still. You refuse to leave, you haven't seen a human in so long. You found your old video camera from circa 1993, you look at the old tapes in your vhs player. Times were happier back then, but now theres no one. You decided you would record a video for maybe someone just anyone else out there who managed to live to come across, you recorded the abandoned malls, the abandoned target, and yet you didn't feel alone.

Edit: I just came back to this video so I feel like making like a prequel or something idk

It was a late summer night in 5019, you listened to the bombs crashing outside as the world waged war. Lets skip forward to see what the future holds. Shall we? In mid december you woke up from a nap with sirens blaring and your tv reading a note that says "WE ALL MUST EVACUATE. THE WORLD WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE NEVONIDAH SYSTEM IN 48 HOURS". You were shocked but thought it was maybe a part of a show or maybe it was just a hijacked channel. So you got up got your gas mask and went outside, there were endless empty cars where people used to sit. You went to target to get more food and some drinks and inside it was empty, as if you were placed into the backrooms. But you got your food and drinks then went home.


DAY 59
I dont know what happened but its been 59 days, how do I know this? Ive been keeping tallys on my bedroom wall with a pencil. I found an old video camera of mine and i got extra fuel. Maybe I can survive til next year so I can try to find out what happened to everyone.

Day 101
Its been a while hasnt it? Well. Earlier I thought I saw someone. I thought they saw me, I called out and it ran. I feel like I am not alone, I recently went to an arcade built around the 80s Y'know just to kill time. I think I found out what happened to the others, earth was majorly polluted. I still have my phone and everything still works so there has to be some other intelligent being out there. Just maybe.

Day

I lost count of how many days were gone by. The sky has became pitch black and the only type of light being that of my phone. The wifi is still up and electric is still good just my contacts were wiped and every social media i try to open blocks me out. Ive been hallucinating and trying to stay awake because now I know I am not alone. There are others but they aren't what they seem.

Day 3301
Today was just like other days, check my phone, shower, brush my hair, brush my teeth. I laughed at myself in the mirror "the world is ended but i still try to save my hygiene" after I was done making sure i look decent i put my gas mask on, got my pocket knife, and left. To where? Im not sure. But yesterday i got a message on my phone screen with a location and a messags saying 'find the cicada'. So i guess im going to this place which is most likely a geocatcher thing. Ive heard stories from my grandpa about cicada 3301 on the internet back when he was live. There was a statue a few cities away that had been totally destroyed in the peacemaking war many months ago, there were rumors of the cicada memorial statue being one of the only things that survived in the rubble. So i guess thats where im heading.

Edit: i may put this on watpad and i may continue writing it there but i will put updates to the story here if im allowed to

Day 3302
After a few hours I pushed myself on, i was at the statue now. i found someone else but they had attacked me and said 'THE TIME OF THE DAY HAS DONE. FEAR THE NIGHT'. So you could guess how I felt but what do you expect from from an abandoned city in Nevada? (Continuing the story on my wattpad R3dRumCitrus)

The fact that this song is horror and depression mixed… It makes me feel like I’m the last one to perish to the hot sun, and my brain is reminding me of past memories I forgot. The Target, it’s Black Friday controversy’s, the office, what it could be, the abandoned janitorial hallway, the cabin. What are they? Why do I just now remember them? It’s really sad to think that future generations may see this as their last video before they die. It’s additionally depressing that I have a story to all of these images.

[alexnguyen]

this is what it feels like to search up a youtube channel you liked in your childhood, only to realize they don't upload anymore

[youneedhelpyoukeepstarring]

This feels like...living in a moment that wont last forever...

[thecrazyyuangamer]

the feeling this song gives is uncanny childhood and nostalgia and shivers

TRYING TO REACH YOU

TRYING TO REACH YOU

[redactedinfo]

BRINGS BACK MEMORIES THAT I COULDNT REMEMBER. IVE ENDED UP THERE BUT THERE IS NO ESCAPE. SADNESS AND SORROW EXIST.

[cypher_meep]

This perfectly fits the character I’m writing, a cryptid inspired by eas alarm broadcasts, liminal spaces, and just the general loneliness that is there life, but this also resonated with me in another way, this gives off a feeling that no one can possibly feel and yet we know it all to well, the feeling of waking up in the morning and there’s no noise but the buzzing of the air or the pipes, or just the house settling, you fear everyone is gone, as the dread sets it, you walk through your empty home, no one is there, and you think, did the world end without me?


these places are not meant to be empty, they were made to be lived in, but when they are left alone, it just feels like everything ended without you
