I Still See Him When I Close My Hyper-Realistic Eyes
Hello. How are you? I am fine...At least, that is what I wish I were able to say. I don't know who you are, or what your story is. Still, if you are unable to handle the following subjects: hyper-realism, suicide, skeletons popping out, and bad MLP fanfics, I would suggest you leave before you find yourself in an uncomfortable position.
Alright, let me give you some context, I was an intern at Nickelodeon, I had a simple life, and a moderately sized friend group, and was happy. This all changed one day when I and the other interns(Jared, Abby, and Michael), discovered a box in storage labeled "Lost/banned episodes. Do NOT open!" Obviously, we opened it. It was full of old VHS tapes of shows like Catdog, Jimmy Neutron, and The Fairly Odd Parents. These were the shows that we had grown up on. We were honestly excited about what we might find in these hidden, sealed episodes.
After work that day, we all decided to meet up at Jared's place, as he was the only one among us that actually owned a VCR because it's fucking 2023. We argued over what episode to watch first. Jared wanted to watch Ren and Stimpy, Abby wanted to watch Hey, Arnold!, Michael wanted to watch Spongebob, and I, being an incredibly cultured individual, wanted to watch the greatest show to have ever been created, Rugrats. Ultimately, we all decided that if we couldn't agree on one, we would pull a random tape out of the box. The tape we pulled out of the box was strange, it had no label and looked incredibly beat up. We weren't even sure if it would play properly.
As we tried to insert the old, beat-up VHS, it almost felt as if we were being watched by someone, something Inhuman. Oddly, when the tape started playing, the screen went black for 6 seconds before cutting to an episode of Spongebob titled, "t͡sʛʄht͡ɕʓnsʝd͡ʑʁʖǂɔ̃æɤ‖ɚ|" on a background of hyper-realistic blood and the normal Spongebob music had been replaced with high-pitched babies screaming, which prompted Abby to say "Ugh, I can't even. Someone must think they're soooo funny, making their own fake Spongebob episode that is clearly supposed to be 'haunted' or 'cursed'. Like they can't get their kicks some other way. Some people just need to touch some grass." The others, however, were clearly uneasy because they spent way too much time on the creepypasta wiki.
The episode started with a shot of Spongebob sleeping soundly in his bed. Gary came into the frame carrying a comically large air horn, as Spongebob's alarm was apparently broken. After waking his owner, Gary MAU'd as if he were hungry, he followed Spongebob into his kitchen, where he emptied a can of snail food that looked suspiciously like a mix of Salmon and Tuna, seeing this, we paused the tape. The following exchange occurred: Jared: "Okay, what the hell was that? Was that fish??" Abby: "No way. This is clearly just the creation of some sick fuck with too much free time on his hands. I'd pay it no mind." Michael: "Are you sure? This seems way too elaborate for just a simple prank." Abby: "Like I'm telling you, it's just some sicko's little pet project designed to scare people." Jared: "I don't know, this kinda feels just, 'off', you know? I don't think this is something someone made just for shits and giggles." Me: "Okay, okay. Can we just get back to watching this?"
With that, we resumed. At that time, we had no idea the horrors we were about to experience. As Spongebob traveled to work he was greeted by Patrick who had buried himself in the sand with both halves an unreasonable distance from the other. There also seemed to be trails of hyper-realistic blood between the two. As nothing was said, this prompted a visceral gag reaction from Jared, as he had always been sensitive to these kinds of things.
Michael: "Whoa, is he...dead?"
At this point, even Abby, in all her skeptic, above-it-all attitude, was becoming uneasy. When Spongebob eventually made it to his workplace, the Krusty Krab, what we saw shocked us. Plankton's hyper-realistic corpse had been nailed to the outer wall of the building. Below the corpse was a note in hyper-realistic blood saying, "Hello you four, I hope you are enjoying what you see, as you have seen too much to leave now. But if you do decide to leave...Oh boy, will it be fun for me!!11" Now we were just straight-up scared. How the hell did the show know there were four of us?
Jared: "Alright, that's it! I've had it! I just can't take this anymore! I'm getting the fuck out of here!"
Before anyone was able to stop him, Jared ran out the door. I recalled the message that was written. I was now worried about what happened to Jared but resumed the episode anyway. Upon entering the building, Spongebob was greeted by Squidward, who explained to Spongebob that as of today, they were adding a new menu item. It struck us as odd that the Krusty Krab was abnormally empty. There were usually at least four different parties eating in the restaurant. As we contemplated this, We heard someone ring the doorbell. We decided Abby should get the door because we were honestly scared shitless. YEEEEK!! We heard a thud. I and Michael ran to see what had happened. At the door was a cardboard box. Abby had fallen flat on her ass and was too shocked to speak. All we could get out of her was "Ja", Bo", "De". We hesitantly opened the box. We could see what had shocked Abby to this length. Inside the box was a mass of human organs and limbs, along with a single head facing downwards. We slowly turned the severed head, and to our shock, It was Jared!! Then, the television started to speak to us in a voice that sounded like a distorted, demonic Mr. Krabs:
???: "I told you, you're not allowed to leave until this is over. Poor Jared should have listened. But maybe now you see what I'm capable of. I sincerely hope for all of your sake that you try to follow the rules from now."
At this point, I had had enough. I went to my garage, grabbed the heaviest object I could find, took the tape out of the VCR, and proceeded to crush it until it was nothing but debris. As I cleaned up the mess, I noticed that the debris spelled out "I warned you. Now you must pay the price."
After this, we took the debris, burned it, and scattered those ashes into the wind. Everything was relatively normal after that. At least, until Jared's funeral. I could feel something watching me. Abby and Michael could feel it too. Not long after, I lost contact with them. A few days later, I received news that they had been killed. Now I knew what was happening, that thing was coming after us and I was next, so I went into hiding.
Mom, Dad, if you're reading this, don't bother looking for me. I'll try to survive as long as I can, but I know one day, I don't know when he will find me, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop him. I just want you to know, I will always remember you, and I will always be your son. And tell Dave not to worry about the money I loaned him, he doesn't need to pay me back. I know what's coming for me and I know that deep down, I deserve it. I am the reason they all died, and now I'm going to die as well.
-Sincerely, Your son, Alex
