About 2 years ago, i decided to go to Sears, since the store near me was going to close soon. It was late at night, probably around 10:00 PM and i wondered down an old escalator to the basement, where there was supposed to be an arcade. When i got there, i decided to play some Pac-Man because why not. I had nothing better to do. After an hour of playing and trying to beat the highscore (i was a very good player but i was unable to understand how somebody got a score of 66666666.6666666666666666666666666666666666666667), i needed to go to the restroom. There was a door labeled "restroom" in the corner, so i walked over. I came into a room with yellow florescent lights and an ambient buzzing noises in the background. There were no doors, just a long hallway that came to an intersection with 2 paths. I walked toward the paths and chose the right path. i ended up in a large room with many seemingly random corridors and hallways. I was lost. I turned back to go use one of the restrooms upstairs thinking that this was an old empty storage unit or something. I turned the corner into the hallway that i had entered from but there was no door, just more hallways and rooms. I was confused and i thought that i had made a wrong turn. I wondered the rooms for hours before realizing that something was defiantly not right. Suddenly i heard a screaming noise, it sounded like a child screaming. Then, in the middle of the hallway i was walking through, i saw it. It was a human-like tentacled demon, now known as The Q. It hovered over to me. I heard noises similar to that of a man groaning and two of it's tentacles were making a clicking sound. At that moment, i was terrified. I had never seen a creature so horrifying. It's face resembled a human's, but it had no mouth and no hair and it's ears looked like they were torn off. It's skin was grayish-black and it's tentacles were long, arm-like things that came out from where it's legs should be. It had short, skinny arms that had missing fingers in the hands. It's screams seemed to come from nowhere, but then i saw a small head in one of it's hands. It looked like the thing had been squishing the head for years. Moans and screams came from the severed head once again and i turned to run. The creature let out a screech, and i knew it was not the head. I continued running for another hour or so. When i thought i lost it, i stopped to rest. Then, i saw the wall in front of me shifting. It looked like it was a way out, so i tried touching it. It hurt my hand so much that i could not feel it. I could still hear the clicks and moans coming from The Q and they were getting closer. My instincts started telling me to sit down and think of that place that i was in as home. I do not know how the wall caused this instinct, but when i had sat there believing that this place was my home, i was home. I was back in the Sears store and there were police all around me. They asked me what happened and how did i get here and a ton of questions like that but i did not know what to say. I was taken to the Police Department and they asked me about what happened and why i was there. I told them i had gone to the arcade to play Pac-Man, but they claimed that there was no arcade in the Sears. Luckily, a Sears employee told the cops that i had walked in, but never came out and i was released the next day. I still dream about the backrooms, and the creature that chased me and the head that had been in its hand. That is why i have dedicated my life to discover everything in the backrooms, and come here to update my article on The Q. (Note: it is completely possible to escape the backrooms, you just have to find one of these portals, which i suppose are extremely rare and may only be exclusive to this level. i may go back in, but i may never come out again)
