🕳 Exhibit #100: “The One They Don’t Talk About”
Status: UNCLASSIFIED
Containment Rating: ✖✖✖✖✖ (Redacted)
Assigned Team: None (Requests refused)
Location: Unknown. Or everywhere. Or both.
🔍 Description:
No one has seen it.
No one remembers logging it.
And yet, it’s Exhibit #100. Always has been.
There is no record of its arrival.
No cage. No signage.
Only a laminated card that reads:
"Do Not Look. Especially if you think you haven't."
When asked, staff respond with:
“Oh… that one.”
“I thought we got rid of it?”
“We don’t talk about that.”
Those who try to speak about it forget halfway through their sentence.
Or begin to describe something completely unrelated (usually a peach or an uncle).
One intern tried to draw it. They drew their own birth certificate.
🧠 Effects:
Mild unease, followed by intense nostalgia for a place that doesn’t exist.
Clocks near it tick faster. Or backwards.
Anyone attempting to catalogue it disappears from HR records for exactly 13 minutes.
Its number (100) sometimes appears scratched into unrelated walls.
Mary once said: “If you see it… pretend you didn’t. That’s how it stays gone.”
📋 Staff Notes:
Not on the feeding rota.
Not on the evacuation map.
Yet always listed. Always Exhibit #100.
A child once asked to see it by name. No one taught them the name.
Final Assessment:
Don’t approach it.
Don’t name it.
Don’t look for it.
And don’t ever mark it as “missing.”
Because that’s when it shows up.
