Hello! Long time lurker here. It’s taken me a while to be sure I want to submit something, since I don’t have too much to say. But hopefully something in here is useful for you.
Timeline:
I fell asleep and woke up in Carcosa. This was last year, in September.
First location: A beach. Maybe the same one as 10.14.03?? But I don’t remember there being a forest, the sand was flat and went on forever. The sand was really white, and almost shiny. Even though there wasn’t much sun it was hard to look at from the glare.
Eventually the sand became rocky, and I was in some quarry or something. As I walked through it the rocks got so tall I could hardly see the sky. A creek was flowing from behind me, even though the only thing behind me was sand.. Maybe it came from underground. The creek wet the ground and turned it to red clay. I followed the creek.
Second location: some building complex. It reminded me of this old shopping mall I used to break into as a kid after it shut down. Not because I was a vandal or anything, I knew a guy who wanted to be a photographer and he thought it had good ambiance or whatever. I didn’t go in this mystery building because there wasn’t really any way inside.
I was getting pretty cold at this point, so I thought I should look around until I found an entrance. The area was a maze of sidewalks leading around what I guessed was a shopping plaza. I would have gotten lost if I wasn't leaving footprints. It freaked me out actually, since I thought my feet were bleeding, but it was just the wet clay left on my socks. I tested the windows but they didn't open, and the glass must have been reinforced because nothing broke it.
I encountered one person in the plaza. They introduced themself but I'm not sure what they said. Everett? Emerson? Something like that. They let me into the building with a key, so they must have lived there. I know I went inside, and I know there were other people there, but I don't remember the details at all. I've been trying to for months, but every day it fades. I should have written it all down as soon as it happened, but obviously I didn't know what any of it meant back then.
Proof and lasting effects:
When I woke up I was freezing, and my socks were entirely coated in white sand. There were holes on the heels and my feet were stained with clay:
For the next few days I heard water, or like, the sound you get when you put a seashell to your ear. Like white noise.
I don’t know if this is at all related, since you didn’t list it in your FAQ, and since I haven’t read anyone else mentioning it. But I swear, since coming back it’s like people don’t know who I am. People who definitely know me. Like, I’m a regular at this coffee shop a block from my house, I even used to work there part time, but they’ve been treating me like a new customer. Asking my name and stuff. I thought it was a prank but then it happened again with my pet sitter. It's been almost a year and now I have around a six month window before people start forgetting me. If it’s not a side effect of this then something really fucked up is happening.
I’m not much of a storyteller, so sorry if this wasn’t as interesting to read as some of the other testimonials… but it seems like you need all the stories you can get!
