## This is not a level based on the backrooms lore. ## It is the terrifying transition from Casadastraphobia, the fear of falling into an open sky, ## through the haunting Astrophobia of stars hanging unanchored in the deep, ## into the suffocating Kenophobia of a vacuum that offers no resistance, finally bottoming out in Apeirophobia, ## the total dissolution of the self as you realize that in an infinite, ## unheld void, you aren't just lost, but completely erased by the absence of an edge. the sky isn’t above me anymore (it opened) depth without distance (no frame) I looked too long and it kept expanding (still expanding) stars don’t sit in place they hang without support (no anchor) nothing between them but not nothing (too empty) my body expects resistance (it never comes) every direction agrees there is no direction (lost axis) this is not space (it’s absence) not silence (removal) I am not floating (no medium) I am unheld (no boundary) (too quiet…) (no signal…) they said vacuum is empty (it isn’t) it’s thin enough to ignore you but real enough to end you (no warning) no air to carry panic (it stays inside) my thoughts echo but don’t return (one way) if I drift far enough (distance breaks) I won’t be small (just undefined) I am not lost in space (space erased me) no edge to reach (no center) I spread across it (until I don’t)
