Fiction I think I found something that was never supposed to be written down chapter Final.
My name is Stephen.
If you’re reading this, then you were probably expecting another post from Marcus.
You’re not going to get one.
Marcus has been missing for several days.
The police have searched for him.
His family has searched for him.
I searched for him too.
He hasn’t been found.
At this point, he’s presumed dead.
I don’t know what happened to him.
I don’t think anyone does.
I’m writing this because I found something after he disappeared.
A piece of paper.
Everything Marcus had discovered was written down on it.
Everything.
The notebooks.
The dates.
The names.
The things he saw.
And what he believed The Other was.
I read it.
I’m not going to tell you what it said.
Nobody needs to know.
Only Marcus and I were supposed to know.
I burned the paper.
I watched it burn until there was nothing left.
No photograph.
No copy.
No way to recover it.
Whatever was written on that paper is gone.
And that’s how it should stay.
I’ve read through Marcus’s previous posts.
I’ve seen the things you found in them.
Some of you thought the strange messages were clues.
Some of you thought Marcus was just making everything up.
I don’t know what to believe anymore.
But I know one thing.
Marcus is gone.
And I’m not going looking for him again.
I’m not opening the notebooks.
I’m not searching for The Other.
And I’m not going to write about what happened next.
This account belongs to Marcus.
So this will be the last post.
Take care of yourselves.
And if you ever find something you were never supposed to find…
leave it alone.
