This episode is a little different from most of my Creepypasta Theater episodes in that while I did write a story it isn't entirely my own. The story can be found on Creepypasta.wikia.com but the original post only had a couple of paragraphs and several pictures. The post also would have set the story in the United Kingdom. I re-worded the second paragraph so this story can take place anywhere. I also created descriptions of each photograph and my interpretations of what could have been

"If you're not careful and no-clip out if reality in wrong areas, you'll end up in the backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, and endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you…" These words describe the Backrooms, a terrifying maze
