The cursed IG Reel

Hello. I am Triangle Geraldson the 5th. I get made fun of my first name nearly 24/7. This will be important later.

Anyways, it all started in my 2 story apartment with somewhat dingy heat and even dingier lights.

Bugs surround me (mostly crickets, for some reason) 24/7. That is because of me only using social media, especially short-based ones.

I have an active commenting streak of 50 comments per day on YT Shorts, 50 comments per day on FB reels, and, also, 100 comments per day on IG Reels.

Some call it a waste of time, but I find it soothing to the brain.

But this is where everything that could've gone wrong, went wrong. It started while I was scrolling like normal. That was until I saw a peculiar video.

It was what looked like me, but with a twist. My eyes...were red. I was so scared by that, I threw my phone.

After retrieving my phone, it was cracked, but only in the spots of the eyes.

I then decided to call 911, because that is what the average person does when they see themselves on an IG Reel.

But 911 didn't work. If you're asking, no I don't live in the middle of nowhere. Anyways, I went back to scrolling like normal.

I went back to IG Reels, and after looking at the comments under a quadruple amputee (someone who lost their hands and feet) and laughing at all of the "masteroogway"-tier jokes, I saw a odd comment.

It said "click on me if you want fame". I decided to report the account...but there was no option to report it.

I decided to click on the account because that was totally the only other thing that I could do.

I saw a vid with a dollar sign. I tapped on it. I didn't know that this would ruin my life forever.

The vid started by calling me "Mr. 3 sides" (TOLD YA IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT!). It then told me to click on the comment link while the green hill theme from sonic.exe played.

After I clicked on the link, I got sent to a webpage with a gift card, and a survey.

After filling out the survey with all of my info, I got sent to another survey. And another one. Another one. More and more, as the eye could see. When I was finally done, I decided to sleep, for once.

After I woke up 8 hours later, I saw that I now don't have enough money to pay for the internet bill, which is how I watch my content. AND THEN A- ok, it hasn't gotten that bad (so far).

I now had to steal other peoples phones to watch content. I always wore a green mask, so my face was invisible in recording software. They called me the unjolly green giant.

That was when karma hit me in the groin, figuratively.

I was watching a short on a stolen phone, it was one of those "HoW tO mOg SiGmA StYlE" ones made by people who use IG filters. The thing however, is that the face on the after section was bloodied. And hyper-realistic.

That caused me to break the phone, and it made me trip. The trip broke my nose, which caused me to end up in a hospital. To be more specific, it is the "urnex" hospital. Weird name, I know.

Anyways, I was relaxing there hoping for my nose to recover, when I saw the same bloodied face in the window. Instead of passing it off as a hallucination since I tripped, I jumped out of my bed and fell out of the window, LIKE A BOSS!!! (am I epic yet).

Thankfully, I landed on the ground. Unfortunately, it really hurt when I landed on the ground. I crawled my way out of the hospital, while doctors were trying to find me. Then I saw something chasing me.

It was...the face. And it...didn't catch me, somehow. Yup. Unsure why the face chose to wait. Does it think I'm THAT dumb???

After managing to get back home, I was afraid for my life. I stopped using anyone's phone for 2 weeks straight. I only relied on a single book collection with 3 books in my house, "the tales of the hyper-realistic spooky red face".

It was a odd book series by Q.L Stein. Like goosebumps but with a hyper-realistic red face in all of them, for some reason.

It got cancelled in 2000 for being "too scary", but that sounds like hogwash. Until I remembered what happened.

Oh no. I'm...next.

AND SO ARE YOU!!!!!!!!! LOOK BEHIND YOU, BUT DON'T LOOK AT YOUR BEHIND!!!!!!!!
