Greetings, my dear friend.
Ah, looking for some new home furnishings, are we?
You know, well, indeed, you've certainly come to the right place.
The most extraordinary heirlooms from the darkest recesses of the Never Was
are stuffed into every dusty corner.
That and that.
Well, I suppose if you truly, truly insist,
I could work out a deal.
That dreadful old wooden rocking chair.
Nightmares lurk between the creeks, you know.
Go on, take a seat.
You're about to go into escrow on the No End House.
Before we begin, I want to point out some of the customers
whose names have been etched in brass on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk.
These are some of the members of the inner seat.
circle of the Antiquarium. We go by the Obsidian Covenant. Recent initiates include S.G. Fisher,
Nathaniel Sherry, Max, Neffaniel L.C., Laetois, Carly Hewed, a normal username, and Trevor Pruitt.
We are ever appreciative of your devotion to the Orr.
Go to the obsidian covenant.com to receive the sacrament.
Now, where were we?
Oh yes.
Welcome to the antiquarium of sinister happenings and odd goings on.
Let me start by saying that Peter Terry was addicted to heroin.
We were friends in college and continued to be after I graduated.
waited. Notice that I said, I. He dropped out after two years of barely cutting it. After I moved
out of the dorms and into a small apartment, I didn't see Peter as much. We would talk online every now and then.
AIM was king in pre-Facebook years. There was a period where he wasn't online for about five
weeks straight. I wasn't worried. He was a pretty notorious flake and drug addicts, so I assumed he just
stopped caring. Then, one night I saw him log on. Before I could initiate conversation,
he sent me a message. David, man, we need to talk. That was when he told me about the no-end house.
It got that name because no one had ever reached the final exit. The rules were pretty simple,
and cliche, reached the final room of the building, and you win $500.
There were nine rooms in all.
The house was located outside the city, roughly four miles from my house.
Apparently Peter had tried and failed.
He was a heroin and who knows what the fuck addict, so I figured the drugs got the best of him,
and he wigged out a paper ghost or something.
He told me it would be too much for anyone that it was unnatural.
I didn't believe him.
I told him I would check it out the next night no matter how,
He tried to convince me otherwise.
$500 sounded too good to be true.
I had to go.
I set out the following night.
When I arrived, I immediately noticed something strange about the building.
Have you ever seen or read something that shouldn't be scary,
but for some reason, a chill crawls up your spine?
I walked toward the building and the feeling of uneasiness.
only intensified as I opened the front door.
My heart slowed, and I felt a relieved sigh leave me as I entered.
The room looked like a normal hotel lobby decorated for Halloween.
A sign was posted in place of a worker, it read,
Room 1 this way, 8 more follow,
reached the end and you win.
I chuckled and made my way to the first door.
The first area was almost laughable.
The decor resembled the Halloween aisle of a Kmart,
complete with sheet ghosts and animatronic zombies
that gave a static growl when you passed by.
At the far end was an exit.
It was the only door besides the one I entered through.
I brushed through the fake spider webs and headed for the second room.
I was greeted by fog as I opened the door to room too.
The room definitely upped the ante in terms of technology.
Not only was there a fog machine.
but a bat hung from the ceiling and flew in a circle.
Scary.
They seemed to have a Halloween soundtrack that one would find in a 99-cent store on Loop somewhere in the room.
I didn't see a stereo, but I guess they must have used a PA system.
I stepped over a few toy rats that wheeled around and walked with a puffed chest across the next area.
I reached for the doorknob, and my heart sank to my knees.
I did not want to open that door.
A feeling of dread hit me so hard I could barely even think.
Logic overtook me after a few terrified moments and I shook it off and entered the next room.
Room three is when things began to change.
On the surface, it looked like a normal room.
There was a chair in the middle of the wood panel floor,
A single lamp in the corner did a poor job of lighting the area,
casting a few shadows across the floor and walls.
That was the problem.
Shadows.
Plural.
With the exception of the chairs, there were others.
I had barely walked in the door, and I was already terrified.
It was at that moment that I knew something wasn't right.
I didn't even think as I automatically tried to open the door I came through.
It was locked from the other side.
That set me off.
Was someone locking the doors as I progressed?
There's no way.
I would have heard them.
Was it a mechanical lock that's set automatically?
Maybe.
But I was too scared to really think.
I turned back to the room and the shadows were gone.
The chair's shadow remained, but the others were gone.
I slowly began to walk.
I used to hallucinate when I was a kid,
so I rode off the shadows as a figment of my imagination.
I began to feel better as I made it to the halfway point of the room.
I looked down as I took my steps, and that's when I saw it.
Nothing.
I saw nothing.
And I know I saw nothing.
there, plunged into darkness, and the hum became a wild screech. I screamed in protest. I couldn't
hear this goddamn sound for another minute. I ran backwards away from the noise and fumbled for the
door handle. I turned and fell into room five. Before I describe room five, you have to understand
something. I am not a drug addict. I've had no history of drug abuse or any sort of
psychosis, short of the childhood hallucinations I mentioned earlier, and those were only when I was
really tired or just waking up. I entered the no-end house with a clear head. After falling in
from the previous room, my view of room five was from my back looking up at the ceiling. What I saw
didn't scare me. It simply surprised me. Trees had grown into the room and towered above my
head. The ceilings in this room were taller than the others, which made me think I was in the
center of the house. I got up off the floor, dusted myself off, took a look around. It was
definitely the biggest room of them all. I couldn't even see the door from where I was. Various
brush and trees must have blocked my line of sight with the exit. Up to this point, I figured
the rooms were going to get scarier, but this was a paradise compared to the last room. I also assumed
whatever was in room for, stayed back there. I was incredibly wrong. As I made my way deeper into
the room, I began to hear what one would hear if they were in a forest. Churping bugs and the occasional
flap of birds seemed to be my only company in this room. That was the one thing that bothered
me the most. I heard the bugs and the other animals, but I didn't see any of them.
I began to wonder how big this house was.
From the outside, when I first walked up to it, it looked like a regular house.
It was definitely on the bigger side, but this was almost a full forest in here.
The canopy covered my view of the ceiling, but I assumed it was still there, however high it was.
I couldn't see any walls either.
The only way I knew I was still inside was that the floor matched the other rooms.
the standard dark wood paneling.
I kept walking, hoping that the next tree I passed would reveal the door.
After a few moments of walking, I felt a mosquito fly onto my arm.
I shook it off and kept going.
A second later, I felt about ten more land on my skin at different places.
I felt them crawl up and down my arms and legs, and a few made their way across my face.
I flailed wildly to get them all off, but they just kept crawling.
I looked down and let out a muffled scream.
More of a whimper, to be honest.
I didn't see a single bug.
Not one bug was on me, but I could feel them crawl.
I heard them fly by my face and sting my skin, but I couldn't see a single one.
I dropped onto the ground and began to roll.
roll wildly. I was desperate. I hated bugs, especially ones I couldn't see me or touch,
but these bugs could touch me, and they were where I was going. The entrance was nowhere in sight,
and I still hadn't even seen the exit, so I just crawled. My skin wriggling with the presence
of those phantom bugs. After what seemed like hours, I found the door. I grabbed the nearest tree
and prop myself up mindlessly slapping my arms and legs to no avail.
I tried to run, but I couldn't.
My body was exhausted from crawling and dealing with whatever it was that was on me.
I took a few shaky steps to the door,
grabbing each tree on the way for support.
It was only a few feet away when I heard it,
the low hum from before.
It was coming from the next room and it was deeper.
I could almost feel it inside.
my body like when you stand next to an amp at a concert. The feeling of the bugs on me lessened as
the hum grew louder. As I placed my hand on the doorknob, the bugs were completely gone, but I couldn't
bring myself to turn the knob. I knew that if I let go, the bugs would return, and there was no
way I would make it back to room four. I just stood there. My head pressed against the door,
marked six and my hand shakily grasping the knob. The hum was so loud, I couldn't even hear
myself pretend to think. There was nothing I could do, but move on. Room six was next. And
room six was hell. I closed the door behind me. My eyes held shut and my ears ringing.
The hum was surrounding me.
As the door clicked into place, the hum was gone.
I opened my eyes in surprise, and the door I had shut was gone.
It was just a wall now.
I looked around in shock.
The room was identical to room three, the same chair and lamp,
but with the correct amount of shadows this time,
the only real difference was that there was no exit door,
and the one I came in through was gone.
As I said before, I had no previous issues in terms of mental instability,
but at that moment, I fell into what I know was insanity.
I didn't scream.
I didn't make a sound.
At first, I scratched softly.
The wall was tough, but I knew the door was there somewhere.
I just knew it was.
I scratched at where the doorknop was.
I clawed at the wall frantically with both hands,
my nails being filed down to the door.
the skin against the wood.
I fell silently to my knees.
The only sound in the room, the incessant scratching against the wall.
I knew it was there.
The door was there.
I knew it was just there.
I knew if I could just get past this wall.
Are you all right?
I jumped off the ground and spun in one motion.
I leaned against the wall behind me and I saw what it was that spoke to me.
To this day, I regret ever turning around.
There was a little girl.
She was wearing a soft white dress that went down to her ankles.
She had long blonde hair to the middle of her back and white skin and blue eyes.
She was the most frightening thing I had ever seen.
And I know that nothing in my life will ever be as unnerving as what I saw.
in her.
While looking at her, I saw something else.
Where she stood, I saw what looked like a man's body, only larger than normal and covered in
hair.
He was naked from head to toe, but his head was not human and his toes were hooves.
It wasn't the devil, but at that moment, might as well have been.
The form had the head of a ram and the snout of a wolf.
It was horrifying, and it was synonymous with the little girl in front of me.
They were the same form.
I can't really describe it, but I saw them at the same time.
They shared the same spot in that room.
But it was like looking at two separate dimensions.
When I saw the girl, I saw the form.
and when I saw the form, I saw the girl.
I couldn't speak and see.
My mind was revolting against what it was attempting to process.
I had been scared before in my life,
and I had never been more scared
than when I was trapped in the fourth room,
but that was before room six.
I just stood there,
staring at whatever it was and spoke to me.
There was no exit, didn't hear with it.
and then it spoke again.
When it spoke,
I heard the words of the little girl,
but the other forms spoke through my mind in a voice I won't attempt to describe.
There was no other sound.
The voice just kept repeating that sentence over and over in my mind,
and I agreed.
I didn't know what to do.
I was slipping into madness,
yet couldn't take my eyes off what was in front of me.
I dropped to the floor.
I thought I had passed out, but the room wouldn't let me.
I just wanted it to end.
I was on my side, my eyes wide open, and the form staring down at me.
Scurrying across the floor in front of me was one of the battery-powered rats from the second room.
The house was toying with me.
But for some reason, seeing that rat pulled my mind.
back from whatever depths it was headed and I looked around the room. It was getting out of there.
I was determined to get out of that house and live and never think about this place again.
I knew this room was hell and I wasn't ready to take up residency. At first, it was just my eyes
that moved. I searched the walls for any kind of opening. The room wasn't that big so it didn't
take long to soak up the entire layout, still taunted me, the voice growing louder as the form
stayed rooted where it stood. I placed my hand on the floor, lifted myself up to all fours,
and turned to scan the wall behind me. Then I saw something I couldn't believe the form, was now right
at my back, whispering into my mind how I shouldn't have come. I felt its breath on the back
of my neck, but I refused to turn around. A large rectangle was scratched into the wood,
with a small dent chipped away in the center of it. Right in front of my eyes, I saw the large
seven I had mindlessly etched into the wall. I knew what it was. Room 7 was just beyond that
wall where Room 5 was moments ago. I don't know how I had done it. Maybe it was just my state of
mind at the time, but I had created the door. I knew I had. In my madness, I had scratched into the
wall what I needed the most, and exit to the next room. Room seven was close. I knew the demon was
right behind me, but for some reason it couldn't touch me. I closed my eyes and placed both hands
on the large seven in front of me. I pushed. I pushed as hard as I could. The demon was now screaming in
ear. It told me I was never leaving. It told me that this was the end, but I wasn't going to die.
I was going to live there in room six. With it, I wasn't. I pushed and screamed at the top of my lungs.
I knew I was going to push through the wall eventually. I clenched my eyes shut and screamed.
I was left in silence.
I turned around slowly and was greeted by the room as it was when I entered, just a chair and a lamp, but I didn't have time to.
I turned back to the seven and jumped back slightly.
What I saw was a door.
It wasn't the one I had scratched in, but a regular door with a large seven on it.
My whole body was shaking.
It took me a while to turn the knob.
I just stood there for a while staring at the door.
I couldn't stay in room six.
I couldn't.
But if this was only room six,
I couldn't imagine what seven had in store.
Nothing like a good fixer-upper.
It just so happens my contractor is here
to give me an estimate on doing a
special add-on to the basement.
Make yourself comfortable in that new rocking chair of yours,
I'll be right back.
Leave a message, please do so with the tone and have a great...
Um, um, hi.
Yeah!
The dog collars that I purchased last week, um, it's doing...
It looks beautiful.
It's great.
My dog doesn't look like my dog anymore.
Um, I had a dashout.
You know, I told you about this, a cute little dash out.
Um, my dog doesn't look like my dog anymore.
Can we, um, can I please return?
She's stretching at the door and, um, she sounds hungry, but she's not eating doctors.
Please, can we, um...
So sorry about that.
No, but really.
How tremendously rude with me.
The contractor, you say?
He's just downstairs giving his final walkthrough.
Tis of little to no concern of yours, however.
But the rest of this story.
is another thing entirely.
Let's get back to it, shall we?
I couldn't imagine what Seven had in store.
I must have stood there for an hour, just staring at the Seven.
Finally, with a deep breath, I twisted the knob and opened the door to Room 7.
I stumbled through the door mentally exhausted and physically weak.
The door behind me closed, and I realized where I was.
I was outside.
not outside like room five but actually outside my eyes stung i wanted to cry i fell to my knees and tried but i couldn't
i was finally out of that hell i didn't even care about the prize that was promised i turned and saw that the
door i just went through was the entrance i walked to my car and drove home thinking of how nice a shower
sounded. As I pulled up to my house, I felt uneasy. The joy of leaving no end house had faded
and dread was slowly building in my stomach. I shook it off as residual from the house and made
my way to the front door. I entered and immediately went up to my room. There, on my bed,
was my cat Baskerville. He was the first living thing I had seen all night, and I reached to pet him.
He hissed and swiped at my hand.
I recoiled in shock as he had never acted like that.
I thought, whatever, he's an old cat.
I jumped in the shower and got ready for what I was expecting to be a sleepless night.
After my shower, I went to the kitchen to make something to eat.
I descended the stairs and turned into the family room.
What I saw would be forever burned into my mind, however.
My parents were laying on the ground, naked, covered in blood.
They were mutilated to near unidentifiable states.
Their limbs were removed and placed next to their bodies,
and their heads were placed on their chests facing me.
The most unsettling part was their expressions.
They were smiling as though they were happy to see me.
I vomited and sobbed there in the family room.
I didn't know what happened.
They didn't even live with me at the time.
I was a mess.
I saw it.
A door that was never there before, with a large eight scrawled on it in blood.
I was still in the house.
I was standing in my family room, but I was in room seven.
The faces of my parents smiled wider as I realized this.
They weren't my parents.
They couldn't be.
But they looked exactly.
like them. The door marked eight was across the room, behind the mutilated bodies in front of me.
I knew I had to move on, but at that moment I gave up. The smiling faces tore into my mind.
They grounded me where I stood. I vomited again and nearly collapsed. Then the hum returned.
It was louder than ever, and it filled the house and shook the walls. The hum, way closer to the door
and the bodies.
I could barely stand.
And the closer I got to my parents,
the closer I came to suicide.
The walls were now shaking so hard
it seemed as though they were going to crumble,
but still the faces smiled at me.
As I inched closer,
their eyes followed me.
I was now between the two bodies,
a few feet away from the front door.
The dismembered hands clawed their way
across the carpet towards me,
All while the faces continued to stare.
New terror washed over me, and I walked faster.
I didn't want to hear them speak.
I didn't want the voices to match those of my parents.
They began to open their mouths and the hands were anxious from my feet.
In a dash of desperation, I lunged toward the door, threw it open, and slammed it behind me.
I was done.
After what I had just experienced, I knew there wasn't anything else.
fucking house could throw at me that I couldn't live through. There was nothing short of the
fires of hell that I wasn't ready for. Unfortunately, I underestimated the abilities of no-end
house. Fortunately, things got more disturbing, more terrifying, and more unspeakable in room eight.
I still have trouble believing what I saw in room eight. Again, the room was a carbon copy
of rooms three and six, but sitting in the usually empty chair was a man.
After a few seconds of disbelief, my mind finally accepted the fact that the man sitting in the chair was me.
Not someone who looked like me, it was David Williams.
I walked closer.
I had to get a better look, even though I was sure of it.
He looked up at me, and I noticed tears in his eyes.
Please, please don't do it.
Please don't hurt me.
What? I asked. Who are you? I'm not going to hurt you. Yes, you are.
He was sobbing now.
You're going to hurt me, and I don't want you to.
He sat in the chair with his legs up and began rocking back and forth.
It was actually pretty pathetic looking, especially since he was me, identical in every way.
Listen, who are you?
I was now only a few feet from my doppelganger.
It was the weirdest experience yet, standing there talking to myself.
I wasn't scared, but I would be soon.
Why are you...
You're going to hurt me if you want to leave.
You're going to hurt me.
But why are you saying this?
Just calm down, all right?
Let's try to figure this...
And then I saw it.
The David sitting down was wearing the same clothes as me,
except for a small red patch on his shirt embroidered with the...
number nine. You're going to hurt me. You're going to hurt. You're going to hurt me. Please,
you're going to hurt me. My eyes didn't leave that small number on his chest. I knew exactly what
it was. The first few doors were plain and simple, but after a while they got a little more
ambiguous. Seven was scratched into the wall, but not by my own hands. Eight was marked in
blood above the bodies of my parents. But nine, this number was on a person, a living person.
Worse still, it was on a person that looked exactly like me. David, I had to ask.
Yes, you're going to hurt me. You're going to hurt me.
He continued to sob and rock. He answered to David. He was me right down to the voice.
but that nine.
I paced around for a few minutes while he sobbed in his chair.
The room had no door, and similarly to room six, the door I came through was gone.
For some reason, I assumed that scratching would get me nowhere this time.
I studied the walls and floor around the chair, sticking my head underneath and seeing if anything was below.
Unfortunately, there was.
Below the chair was a knife.
Attached was a tag that read, to David, from management.
The feeling in my stomach as I read that tag was something sinister.
I wanted to throw up, and the last thing I wanted to do was remove that knife from under that chair.
The other David was still sobbing uncontrollably.
My mind was spinning into an attic of unanswerable questions.
Who put this here?
And how they get my name?
Not to mention the fact that as I knelt on the cold wood floor,
I also sat in that chair, sobbing in protest of being hurt by myself.
It was all too much to process.
The house and the management had been playing with me this whole time.
My thoughts for some reason turned to Peter and whether or not he got this far.
If he did, if he met a Peter Terry sobbing in this very chair rocking back and forth,
I shook those thoughts out of my head.
They didn't matter.
I took the knife from under the chair and immediately the other David went quiet.
David, he said in my voice,
what do you think you're going to do?
I lifted myself from the ground and clenched the knife in my hand.
I'm going to get out of here.
David was still sitting in the chair, though he was very calm now.
He looked up at me with a slight grin.
I couldn't tell if he was going to laugh or strangle me.
Slowly, he got up from the chair and stood, facing me.
It was uncanny.
His height, and even the way he stood, matched mine.
I felt the rubber hilt of the knife in my hand and gripped it tighter.
I don't know what I was planning on doing with it, but I had a feeling I was going to need it.
This voice was slightly deeper than my own.
just lunged and tackled him to the ground.
I had mounted him and looked down, knife poised and ready.
He looked up at me, terrified.
It was like I was looking in a mirror.
Then the hum returned, low and distant,
who I still felt deep in my body.
David looked up at me as I looked down at myself.
The hum was getting louder and I felt something inside me snap.
With one motion, I slammed the knife into the knife.
patch on his chest and ripped down. Blackness fell on the room and I was falling. The darkness around me
was like nothing I had experienced up to that point. Room four was dark, but it didn't come close
to what was completely engulfing me. I wasn't even sure if I was falling after a while. I felt weightless,
covered in dark. Then a deep sadness came over me. I felt lost, depressed, and suicidal. The
sight of my parents entered my mind.
I knew it wasn't real, but I had seen it, and the mind has trouble differentiating between
what is real and what isn't.
The sadness only deepened.
I was in room nine for what seemed like days, the final room, and that's exactly what it was.
The end.
No end house has an end, and I had reached it.
At that moment, I gave up.
I knew I would be in that in-between state forever, accompanied by nothing but totally.
darkness. Not even the hum was there to keep me sane. I had lost all senses. I couldn't feel
myself. I couldn't hear anything. Sight was completely useless here. I searched for a taste in my
mouth and found nothing. I felt disembodied and completely lost. I knew where I was. This was hell.
Room nine was hell. Then it happened. A light. One of those stereotypical lights at the
the end of the tunnel. I felt ground come up from below me and I was standing. After a moment or two
of gathering my thoughts and senses, I slowly walked toward that light. As I approached the light,
it took form. It was a vertical slit down the side of an unmarked door. I slowly walked through
the door and found myself back where I started, the lobby of no end house. It was exactly how I left it.
empty, still decorated with childish Halloween decorations.
After everything that had happened that night, I was still wary of where I was.
After a few moments of normalcy, I looked around the place trying to find anything different.
On the desk was a plain white envelope with my name handwritten on it.
Immensely curious, yet still cautious, I mustered up the courage to open the envelope.
Inside was a letter, again handwritten.
David Williams
Congratulations, you have made it to the end of no end house.
Please accept this prize as a token of great achievement.
Yours forever.
Management.
With the letter were five $100 bills.
I couldn't stop laughing.
I laughed for what seemed like hours.
I laughed as I walked out to my car,
and I laughed as I drove home.
I laughed as I pulled into my driveway.
I laughed as I opened my front door to my house, and laughed as I saw the small tent etched into the wood.
