Derek just wanted to feel seen.
At 3:00 AM, a lonely IT student discovers /deepthread—an online forum that only unlocks in the dead of night. For the first time in months, people notice him. They see him. They know things about him no one should know.
But visibility comes with a price.
As Derek completes increasingly disturbing tasks, his reflection begins to lag. His body starts phasing through objects. His anchor to reality is weakening. The forum isn't just watching him—it's consuming him, converting his consciousness into digital code, one percentage point at a time.
Now trapped between human and machine, Derek must make an impossible accept complete digital integration and join the 10,000+ souls in the collective, die as his body fails, or attempt a desperate hybrid existence that may be worse than either fate.
From the Night Archivist himself, comes a techno-horror tale about the cost of connection in an age of isolation. If you've ever felt invisible, ever craved validation from strangers online, ever wondered what you'd trade to finally be seen—this story will haunt you long after you close your device.
Do not read at 3:00 AM. Do not look for /deepthread. And whatever you do, don't let them see you.
