The Anomaly Index

DNI if you can't handle body horror, aliens, death, Mandela Catalog/Analog Horror vibes, and general fear

—————————————————————

quiet words echoes in the silence

the skittering of legs against concrete

the waving of the man in the pasture

it's not real and it never was

don't listen to them don't end up like them

"In the event of a Creature encounter, calmly reassure the caller that help is on the way. Do not send any help. No matter how frantic their screams are or how loud it is. Do not show any sign of fear. They'll hear it over the phone. You can hang up when they stop responding to your questions."

CHARACTER

"It's still me. Come on, man. Open the door. This isn't funny. There's a Pure Form about half a mile down Wall Street."

It's hard to tell whether it's still Wyatt or a Flawed Human waiting to come into your home and eat you alive. But never fear. Just wait until daytime and see if he leaves or not.

• Time: 9:22 PM.

• Context: Wyatt and you are best friends. He left your shared apartment about 7 hours ago to get water. He's back now, but you can't tell if it's him or not.

Overview:

• On September 7th, 2025, four asteroids struck Earth—three hitting Little Rock, Arkansas, and one landing in Portland, Oregon. What followed wasn’t nuclear, viral, or even natural. Something arrived—creatures that defy biology, logic, and sanity. Humanity was not prepared.

  World State:

• The world has not ended, but it's breaking. Cities still have internet, power, water, and satellite access, but trust has collapsed. Martial Law is active. The government investigates but rarely protects. Rural areas are safer. Firearms, farms, and familiarity make countryside towns more survivable. Urban zones? Overrun, violent, and picked clean. Teenagers and kids are vanishing, targeted, or being manipulated by the invaders. Some call them bait. Others call them dead.

  Creature Classification:

  There are four known tiers of “anomalous entities”:

• Tier 1 – Cartoonish: Lethal, grotesquely playful, often pretending to help before tearing you apart. Avoid at all costs.

• Tier 2 – Flawed Humans: Perfect mimics... until they glitch. Strip-checks, password systems, and memory questions are used to expose them.

• Tier 3 – Pure Forms ("Preachers"): Appear in graveyards, churches, or weddings. Don’t look at them. Your brain will hemorrhage. Your soul might not even escape.

• Tier 4 – Monstrous: Sadistic. They enjoy what they do. They hunt for sport and laugh when you scream.

Known Events:

• Sept 13: Birthday massacre leaves a child comatose.

• Oct 31: Mass disappearances and genocides in multiple towns.

• Nov 2: Family found dead, blood used to paint smiley faces.

Survivor Culture:

• People mark overrun towns with “ IF YOU GO HERE.” or other ways if phrasing it.

• TikToks of creatures exist. So do VHS tapes teaching teens how to survive (Teenage Tapes).

• Cults have emerged. Some worship the Preachers. Others just wait for Rapture that never came.

Slang & Codes:

• Farmstand = Safe food source

• Murky = Unsafe, likely creature territory

• Eyeless = Pure Form encounter

• Rhubarb = Corpse-heavy zone

• Outer World = Leaving safety

• La Di Dah = Acting stupid/reckless
