Wait, how did the cat know to push the button? Meh, doesn’t matter, I suppose.
Anyways, every trace of the cat is gone. No cat hairs anywhere in the room.
Instead, the walls are covered in masks!
That’s… I can’t decide if it’s cool or creepy. It’s kinda both.
I mean, the detail and workmanship on each and every one of them is fascinating, truly the work of artists.
On the other hand, being stared at by eyeless faces from all sides is… unsettling.
You go over to one, a particularly cool one, and pull it off the wall. You put it over your face, tying it on with the ribbons.
The eyes start to glow.
Umm, that isn’t supposed to happen.
Are- are you ok?
Hello?
Crap, now all the masks’ eyes are glowing.
Uhhhhhhhh
Dude? H’llo?
Crapcrapcrapcrap
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Masks with glowing eyes Heyyyyyy so there are masks in the room now, and the eyes are glowing. I don’t have anything on my sheet saying that the masks should glow. Should they be glowing?? To: Testing Room Beta From: IT Desk 3 Subject: Re: Masks with glowing eyes No, they absolutely should not be glowing. Is the dude ok? To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Re: Re: Masks with glowing eyes Dunno. Dude hasn’t moved in like a minute… To: Testing Room Beta From: IT Desk 3 Subject: Re: Re: Re: Masks with glowing eyes
o.O
That’s… concerning. Give it five minutes, if the dude hasn’t moved, be worried. This is above my pay grade, so you’ll have to call Chris.
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Masks with glowing eyes Damn. Ok. Thanks.
Hey…
Hey dude? You ok in there? There’s a constant humming from the masks now. Is your brain being dissolved or something?
Duuuuude? Hiiiiiiii?
Suddenly the glowing stops. You pull the mask off.
Oh thank goodness! Are you ok? You’re ok, right? Right?
Riiiiiiiiight?
Dude? What- what did you see? Wanna tell me? You don’t?
Ok then.
I’ll just be over here, filing an error report. Don’t mind me…
You just go ahead and push the button…
DO YOU PUSH THE BUTTON? Yes No

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can. But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own. Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true. This is a mirror of Nowhere Stars' home site, located here. Updates will be posted at the same time, currently once a week on Wednesdays. Support Nowhere Stars on Top Web Fiction here!
