Liminal roaming: a backrooms adventure

" Habitable zone"

Ash and luna and I walked for about 3 more hours, we were going to sit down and take a rest until we saw a strange door.

"Hey look, there's a door" Luna said. What if it leads to a worse place? I asked "it won't, it'll take us to level 1 which isn't too dangerous" said ash.

We all went through the door and it was a a large, sprawling warehouse that features concrete floors and walls

"Finally I'm out of that hell hole" Luna said "compared to some levels in this place, level zero will feel like heaven to you" ash said "let's avoid those levels at all cost" Luna replied. We wandered around the place then we spotted people trading supplies.

"Hey look there's people! And they're giving away stuff!" I excitedly said. we all wandered towards them. "Um hello can we have some supplies?" I asked "yes we are the M.E.G we are here to help wanderers" they gave us supplies like almond water, weeks worth of food, flashlights and other supplies" "thank you!" we all said.

We sat down on some chairs and we were talking with the other wanderers "so how long have you been in the backrooms ash?" I asked ash. "About 2 years" he said "2 years??" Luna asked. " yes 2 years" he replied

"I've been here for 20 years" said a girl. We all looked in her direction, she seemed to be about 7-9 years old she had long dark brown hair with big dark eyes with a light blue sundress on

"The hell you mean 20 years? You aren't even a decade old" I said "that's because you don't age in the back and as far as we know, time stops" Luna ash and the other newcomers seemed to shocked by what she said. The girl was like 7 but talked so maturely. The thought of being trapped in this hell for 20 years me shiver.

I am 16 Ash is 17 and Luna is 13. If we were to suffer the girls fate we'd we 36, 33, and 37 year olds trapped in the bodies of teens. I thought to myself

"Is there anyway to leave this place?" I asked ash. "No" a man said "there is actually to conformed way to leave but you can if you get REALLY lucky, the backrooms are your new home kids" he said. I couldn't believe what he said, the last sentence sent chills down my spine. I noticed that ash and Luna went pale.

"So what's your name?" I asked the "young" girl.

"Maria, I entered this place on April 2nd 2002 after I fell of the slide at recess then I ended up in this place" "I was a poor, confused child, I cried I screamed and walked for hours then when I ended up here in level 1 I was treated warmly by the other wanderers, then a woman decided to become my new mother since I probably will never see my real one again, she kept me safe and eventually we got to level 11 where we lived in a luxury apartment while returning to the hub occasionally I never aged physically but aged mentally"

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that" I said "Wow...Your story.. it's just... the thought of such a young child entering such a horrid place" said Luna
"How to you even get to level 11?" Ash asked " I've been trying to go there for 2 years now" "through the hub just wanderer around here and eventually you'll get there" said Maria. We talked for more and said our goodbyes and we gathered more supplies then went on our way

While walking, ash found a note that said "burn my body" this place may be more terrifying than I think
