Sweet Dreams
Everyone has phobias, but sometimes, the reality turns out to be worse than your worst nightmares. Our brains just try to comfort us by making such false imagery.
Since he had turned 3, Simon had been getting freaked out by the old attic in his little house. He would feel like someone was waiting behind the door for him. It would call out for Simon, when the sun went down.
Simon used to have dreams, in which he was confronted by a being made of infinite darkness. It instilled a feeling of dread in Simon's mind.
Simon would complain to his parents about the being beyond the threshold of the basement, waiting for him, but they won't believe him. After all, they didn't have the time to believe him.
What do you think of Simon? You think he's crazy?! No, for your kind information, it was all real; Simon was not imagining it all.
After some time, when Simon turned 7, he and his parents moved into a new house. The house was very big, not suitable for a little family like that of Simon and also, not suitable for a mentally disturbed person like Simon.
There was a photo, hanging on the wall, which creeped Simon out. Simon felt good, though, because there was no attic in that building; but little did he know that he was going to come face to face with something worse than his worst nightmares.
The halls were big, and were decorated with flowery designs. There was a kitchen, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room and the worst of them all, a basement.
Simon used to get terrified, just by looking at the basement. By looking at the rest of the house, you might have assumed that the basement was decent enough, too; but in reality, it was anything but decent. Cobwebs covered the wet walls of that eldritch basement. There was ominous looking graffiti, all over the walls. It read, "GET IN ONLY WHEN GOD ABANDONS EXISTENCE!"
Simon started having those dreams again, this time, in that fateful basement. A creature with a sinister smile tore Simon apart, and he screamed in agony; and then, he woke up. "Another bad dream," he said to himself.
Now, what do you think Simon should have done? Oh, you really think he should've run away? Maybe, Simon should have taken your advice and evacuated the place, but he didn't. He tried paying more attention to his studies. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get that basement out of his head.
One day, Simon decided to go into the basement. "To me, this basement looks worse than an abandoned mental hospital! What do you think?" Simon said to you.
He started inspecting the basement and wanted you to help him, but he knew that you couldn't help him.
Then, suddenly, someone started walking towards Simon. His heart started beating at supersonic speeds. Step, step, step, and then, someone grabbed his shoulder and... it was his mother.
"Come on! Have your dinner! Even the guy staring at the screen had his dinner," she said. Simon was relieved to see his mom.
Simon finished supper and went upstairs to his room, in order to get a good night's sleep.
He had a sweet dream that night. He dreamt about him being surrounded by positivity.
He was in a beautiful garden. The garden was decorated with daisies, roses and sunflowers. Angels were all around him.
He barely got the time to enjoy his dream, when it transformed into a nightmare.
Asteroids started crashing into the Earth, demonic soldiers decapitated the angels, and humanity went extinct.
Simon woke up in the morning, brushed his teeth and went to school without having breakfast.
He was unable to pay attention to any of his classes. He would just keep thinking of that dream.
Simon's life remained like this for a few more years. He somehow managed to stop paying attention to it. He knew that he didn't have to take it forever.
Eventually, Simon grew up and moved out. His life had become much easier and rosier. He started getting amazing grades and graduated from MIT. The prettiest, sexiest girl in class was Simon's girlfriend. And the best of them all, he started having sweet dreams, every single night. He used to dream about the good stuff since then.
He almost forgot about that damn basement, but little did he know that this blessing was not gonna last long, and he was about to be cursed with the deadliest of the curses.
After finishing college, Simon returned to that large building he used to call home. It looked menacing; it was clear that no-one lived there at that time. Simon cried out to his parents, but the only answer was silence.
He walked in, and found a note. The person who wrote it was clearly in a hurry, it read, "Just get the FUCK out of here! Or go to hell! Do you really wanna die? Get out of here, bitch!!!!"
Simon was kinda disturbed by this, but he considered ignoring it to be a wise decision, but little did he know that it was the most foolish of the decisions he had ever made. He walked further deep into the building.
He unloaded his bag and walked into the kitchen. He prepared a sandwich for himself and ate it with ketchup.
Simon crawled into his childhood bed and drifted off into Dream Land.
He had a nightmare, in which he was being torn apart at a subatomic level, and a person was reading his story for entertainment. Even worse, his story was being used by a person, nicknamed Venom, to participate in a "Wheel of Misfortune Contest". Wait, I am Venom, so he dreamt about me, uploading his story to the Creepypasta Wiki, and people getting amused by reading about his nightmarish experience. Holy Christ!
Simon started to yell at me, "Hey, Venom, stop it! I know you're doing it all! Just fucking stop it! Fuck your own ass, son of a bitch!"
He clearly hated me. He thought that I was the reason for whatever was happening with him; like I had done that kinda shit. But that wasn't the case; I was just reporting it all to you; I never did anything to Simon.
Simon woke up at 3 a.m. He was in sleep paralysis and he saw his parents being mutilated right in front of his eyes, their piteous cries for help could be clearly heard by Simon.
His parents were in agony and pain, their bodies ripped to pieces by a humanoid being, standing 5 feet tall; with rotten skin, extremely sharp teeth and nails, and the most disturbing of all, no upper body. The being was basically two legs and a mouth with rows and rows of razor sharp teeth.
Simon started taking therapy, which helped him avoid nightmares altogether. He was relieved.
Simon began having very nice dreams. He would dream about his favorite movies, his girlfriend and everything else he loved.
In one dream, he and his girlfriend were kissing each-other. Then, Simon decided to meet his girlfriend.
He reached his girlfriend's place and was baffled at what he saw. His girlfriend, Katie was kissing a girl.
"So, she's lesbian and she didn't even tell me about it? She never actually loved me. She dated me for my money and fame," he said to himself.
Simon's girlfriend was cheating on him, with a girl. She was clearly lesbian, but she never told Simon about it. I personally believe that she was bisexual. What do you think?
Simon became increasingly depressed. He started having those nightmares again.
He dreamt about different things, but almost all of his dreams had one thing in common- the dream would be all about an incomprehensible being. Sometimes, his nightmares also included a lot of blood and gore.
His relatives knew about it. They all wanted to help him. They tried to comfort him, but nothing would work.
One day, his cousin sister came over to his place to see him. She walked out of her shiny Lamborghini, with a heavy suitcase in her right hand. She was wearing a diamond necklace. She was also wearing a watch on the wrist of her left hand.
She rang the door bell. After what seemed like forever, Simon opened the door. He was very happy to see his sister, right in front of his eyes. It had been ages, since they last met.
After talking to his sister for half an hour, Simon finally turned to you and introduced you to his sister. "She is my cousin Samantha and she is transgender," he said to you. He turned to his sister and said, "I'm happy to see that you've completed transitioning."
Samantha spent the night with Simon. Simon prepared dinner for both of them. The dinner was composed of two beef burgers, four chicken hotdogs, two seafood sandwiches, wine and two cupcakes as a dessert.
Both Simon and Samantha went to bed after finishing dinner. They talked till it was eleven p.m. They duo went to sleep at around 11:05.
It was almost midnight. Samantha went to kitchen to drink some water, when she felt like a thief had entered their house, but couldn't see anyone.
The sound was coming from the basement. She went there to inspect it, and saw that it was covered in blood. Simon woke up and heard his sister screaming. It scared the shit out of him. Samantha returned to their room and they both went back to sleep, without saying a word.
She left the next day. Before leaving, though, she told Simon about the previous night and asked him to be careful.
Simon got even more scared by that. He used to jump up even when the trees were moving due to the wind.
But then, he started having a false sense of security. He started feeling calm all the time. His dreams also became much more pleasant than before.
Simon was no longer afraid of anything and continued leading a normal life. He did hear some sounds coming from the basement, but he didn't really care about it.
One night, Simon was watching a horror movie. It was very scary, but Simon had developed nerves of steel, so it didn't matter much. Simon went to bed early, that night.
He woke up at 3 a.m. and saw a humanoid with an infinite number of eyes in front of him. It scared the shit out of him.
Simon decided to enter the basement. He asked you about it beforehand, and you stopped him from going in. I was laughing so hard, because you were foolish enough to think Simon would listen to you. He would never listen to others.
He entered the basement, but now that text was no longer there. He saw a flight of stairs, that seemed to stretch infinitely into the ground. He descended 100 meters. Then 200 more, and then another 500 meters.
An abnormal sense of dread washed over him, as he descended. He knew that death itself was waiting for him. Or he rather, thought it was that way, because the one who was waiting for him made death seem like a bed of roses. He was about to experience a fate, far worse than death. He wished that he had finally kicked the bucket, but he never would. He just knew that dying was the only way to escape.
He could clearly hear the screams of his parents and many other unidentified voices, warped into demonic noise.
Simon was chilled to the bone and he ran back to his room. "What the fuck was that?!" Simon asked you. You had no clue about it; but you could definitely say that it's far worse than your worst nightmares.
Simon started flinging up the stairs. He was almost half way there, when someone touched. Simon could feel a cold chill run down his spine.
Simon eventually made it back out of the basement and closed the door. He went right back to sleep after that
He dreamt about winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, for finding out what Dark Matter actually was.
Simon woke up the next day. The sun was looking so reddish and abnormal. Simon didn't eat anything for breakfast and lunch.
He tried switching the television, but there was no signal.
He asked you if this happened to you as well, and you answered, "Yes. It happens to everyone, after all."
He sat down all day. He was almost bored to death, when suddenly, he heard the noise coming from the basement, just like the previous night.
This time, Simon called in his best friend Michael, and told him to inspect the basement instead. Michael urged you to help him, but you were too scared to enter that damn basement.
As Michael descended the basement, he could feel reality twist and turn around him. Space-Time itself was changing, warping into nothingness.
As he descended to about 800 meters, he could feel that same cold chill down his spine, that Simon felt when someone or something touched him.
As he descended, Michael felt like he had entered hyperspace. Reality warped around him like a liquid. Michael saw that his hands were warping as well. Then, he realized something. He had entered a different dimension, a dimension with a very low Hume level, so his movements were more dependent on his imagination than the actual George shot of the place; now, he was warping into a blurry mass of creation, in order to align with the dimension's Hume level.
Simon called out to Michael, but in response, he could only hear the twisted screams of Michael.
Simon was broken, as he had lost his best friend, whom he loved dearly. He decided to go in there and see what was lurking below the building. He was about to step inside the basement.
Then, someone rings the door bell. Simon opens the door and sees his old friend Jeffrey. Jeffrey confessed that he was gay and had been in love with Simon, since they met. Simon hugged Jeffrey and said., " I'm straight, but I'll continue to love you dearly as a friend."
Jeffrey responded by saying, "Your happiness is the thing that matters the most to me." "Simon, you look worried. What happened?" Jeffrey asked.
Simon told him about that basement and Jeffrey offered to help.
Simon declined his offer. He had already lost his best friend, he didn't wanna someone else, after all.
Then, Simon's cousin sister arrives as well. After listening to Simon's statement about the basement, she decided to help him. "I don't wanna lose you, my sister! I've already lost my best friend. Only I am going in," Simon said.
An argument struck between Jeffrey, Samantha and Simon. Jeffrey and Samantha said that if the three of them went down together, they could fight off the killers. Simon was reluctant to go there alone. He knew that there were no serial killers down there. Killers are too human to lead to such strange happenings.
Simon asked you to make them understand the situation, but you didn't, or rather couldn't help. Simon didn't want his friend and cousin to die, but one and one make eleven, Simon had to listen to them. As the trio walked towards the basement, Simon looked at you with disgust and grudge in his eyes.
The trio descended deeper into the basement. It was almost endless. A feeling of calmness washed over the three of them. They started daydreaming about their happiest of fantasies, and fell asleep at times, and had the best dreams ever.
But you know, sweet dreams are made of false beliefs and fantasies. It's just an illusion; it tricks us into falling for it. A sweet dream is worse than a nightmare; nightmares warn you, but sweet dreams give you a false sense of security.
A slashing sound was herd. Simon and Jeffrey turn towards the sound, and are heartbroken at what they see. Simon's cousin was dead. She was mutilated in horrifying ways. Then, they see someone... or something.
It's a being with an infinite number of blades, protruding from its face. These blades started growing, in order to reach out for Jeffrey and Simon.
"It's kinda like a cave man. What do you think?" Simon said to you. "I think it's a monster," you replied.
Simon and Jeffrey managed to escape the creature, and descended even deeper, into the basement. They saw reality warping around them; the lines between reality and fantasy were getting all the more blurry. It was a true nightmare.
Reality bended like a slimy mush. As they descended, they could feel that reality was become less real. They could move in any direction, regardless of the surrounding geography. Their imagination was the limitation. They had reached the dimension with the low Hume field, and they came to know that it was known as JWS-305-013-666.
Their bodies started warping and merging into one-another, in order to align with the Hume field of the dimension. Jeffrey was turned into a waxy mass of human tissue, which was barely identifiable. Simon managed to escape, with a bit of Jeffrey's tissue, stuck to his right arm, forever.
You told Simon to run away, but Simon refused and said, "I made them all die, now I'll save all the others." You tried to explain that Simon could do nothing about it, but he didn't listen to you.
You offered some help, but he refused. He didn't want to cause more casualties, after all. You kept watching him, as he descended down the basement.
Simon finally reached the end of the basement, where, he was confronted by a being made of infinite fire, the personification of dread and the infinite void.
"Are they the Hell Gods?" Simon said to you. "I don't know," you replied. But, then, the void spoke to you and Simon. "Hell Gods are not even worthy enough to be compared to us. Not even Death itself is even close to being worthy enough to be compared to us. The fire being is the personification of hate, and its name is Infernokor. The personification of dread is named Creepypasta. And I am Ompromos, the void, the Absence itself. Humans can't even comprehend us," it said to the both of you.
Simon watched in terror as the mighty beings came forward to attack him. His hand warped into nothingness. Simon thought he would die, but then, a savior appears. It's All Mighty God himself.
God's liquid nitrogen of love was enough to burn out the infernal of hate, and Infernokor died. God forced the whole multiverses into believing that the Creepypasta characters were not real, hence destroying the essence of Creepypasta. God then went to fight Ompromos.
God was an infinitely powerful reality warped, but he still needed creation to control it. Ompromos started consuming God. God's energy started fading into the nothingness of the void. No one, not even God could possibly defeat the Absence itself.
Simon was terrified to see that All Mighty God was losing to Ompromos. Simon picked up a weapon, known as Ken De Dios Foniás (the Sword of the God Slayer), a weapon, used by humans to kill Gods.
This mighty weapon fades into nothingness, as soon as it touches Ompromos. Ompromos is the Absence, and you cannot kill the Absence.
God warped into nothingness as well. Not even God could possibly defeat the Void.
Simon was horrified at this point. He tried to run, but there was no surface to run on. Reality simply didn't exist anymore in that basement.
Simon was slowly consumed by the Void. He screamed in agony, and now he understood what happened to his parents and best friend. His screams were twisted into the radio static, that we here today on tv and radio when there's no signal.
Simon's body warped into the vast nothingness of the Absence. Simon's last screams were consumed by the Absence, and even his essence was warped into the void.
Before disappearing completely, Simon turned towards you and yelled, "Stop looking at me! Help me! Help me, motherfucker!" Simon then vanished completely.
Ompromos then consumed the entire building, and the Absence just grew even larger. It engulfed the entire city, then the entire country and then the Earth itself, but it didn't stop there.
The absence warped the International Space Station into nothingness. The same occurred to the planets, satellites, asteroids and the Sun. The Solar System had become a part of the Void.
The Absence then consumed the entire Milky Way Galaxy, then the Andromeda Galaxy and the entire Laniakea Supercluster and then the entire observable universe.
It consumed lower dimensions and other parallel universes. The Absence was growling larger, as it warped large chunks of Space-Time and Hyperspace into nothingness.
So, how are even alive right now if this had happened? Well, this happened in a different universe, but don't think we're safe. Ompromos has already reached our universe.
The Absence warped more than 165 galaxies, with a diameter of 100,000 light years, and another 495 galaxies with a diameter of 333,000 light years, creating the Great Void, which is roughly 330 million light years in diameter.
And it had reached the Milky Way Galaxy of our universe. The mysterious Dark Matter is Ompromos. The reason Dark Matter doesn't even react to light, it doesn't even interact with Ordinary Matter, and it definitely doesn't give a shit to Graviry. It is due to the fact that it is the Absence itself, and it's coming for us. It was inevitable anyway. It would one day take over the Solar System of our universe as well.
An alien distress call from a far away Galaxy was accidentally received by my radio. Here's the transcript (with English translation):
[Begin log]
Hypt ryi, monokogosaki, tofuno mesests comos mariona. Estakide parakas, prftg Ompromos, the Asénseos itgrft.
(We all knew it'd be coming for us someday, and it did. Dark matter was actually Ompromos, the Absence itself.)
[Radio static]
[End log]
And now, it's coming for us. It has already reached the boundaries of the Milky Way Galaxy. One day, it'll destroy our universe and countless other universes and dimensions.
And if you think black holes are a part of it, then let me tell you that they are not. Black holes are at least something, but the Absence is the true nothingness.
So, be careful about those sounds you hear from your home's basement at nigh, and definitely, it will take you one day or another; it will take everyone, for it's Ompromos, the ultimate end, the Absence itself. And also, never trust your sweet dreams, because they just provide a false sense of security.
