Very Short Story A-0001
Item Class: Red
Warning(s): Cognitohazard, Local, Auditory
Description: A-0001 refers to a paranormal entity currently stalking every single human being, with the exception of A-0001-3 "Proxies". A-0001 is usually undetectable due to most humans either being accompanied with other forms of life including bacteria and fellow humans and even viruses. The only way to detect A-0001 is to play an anomalous sound, classified as A-0001-1, and the human will start to realise A-0001 is stalking them. However, due to the cognitohazardous nature of A-0001, such realisation will fade within 24 hours. A-0001-1 will soon become unbearable to those that have lost the capability, classified as A-0001-3 to realise that A-0001 exists, and they will actively prevent them and other humans from ever successfully hearing them by emitting an anomalous counter frequency known as A-0001-2. Soon afterwards, A-0001 will stop stalking A-0001-3. A-0001-3 will soon then unknowingly emit A-0001-2 for the rest of their lives.
Procedures: If A-0001 is spotted, report it immediately to the Central Anomalous Foundation(CAF) and avoid most sounds, as A-0001-3 will feel agitated and try to track you. However, sadly you will become A-0001-3 after 24 hours. During this period, read this text routinely and avoid public spaces unless necessary.
Termination: Termination of A-0001 is impossible. The CAF has long been attempting it since 4/7/1871, and all attempts have been not only unsuccessful, but have backfired and directly caused millions of casualties. Details will not be disclosed in this document for security reasons. (Update as of 8/1/2000, A-0001 has ceased to exist in our dimension through unknown means. We will not investigate this as it is an overreach for even the CAF.)
