The Garfrooms - A Garfield Fanfiction

Level 12

After climbing through the strange skyscraper's windows, Jon, Liz, Lyman, Garfield, and Odie were on Level 12.

Everybody was expecting that Level 12 would be just like all the levels that they traversed through with winding corridors, dangerous entities and the like, but they were proven wrong as soon as the five climbed through the windows.

The five saw nothing but a white room with a white chair and a white desk with a locked door next to the two objects. "There has to be something going on," Liz told the other four as she checked for more information about Level 12.

"I think there is anything of note," Jon told Liz as she realised that this was Level 12. "I wonder what we are going to do?" She asked the other four, and Jon decided to ask Lyman for further details on how he managed to traverse the Backrooms.

"Well, it goes likes this." Lyman explained, "I fell through after I collided with the entrance door to my apartment, I fell through the floor and ended up in Level 0!" he exclaimed. Jon looked at him with a bit of shock "How was Level 0 for you?" he asked him.

"It was terrifying, unlike you Jon, I didn't have Odie or anyone with me, I never thought I would enter this place, just thinking about it gives me chills down my spine, I traversed around trying to find help, but I soon released that no help was going to come, I then heard a noise that sounded like Odie growling in pain, I knew to stay away from the noise and ran into a wall, and fell through Level 0."

Jon was not surprised by this, he did know that you couldn't be in the same place when a person no-clipped into the Backrooms. "Okay, what happened next?" he asked him.

Lyman tried to recollect what happened after he no-clipped into Level 0. "I soon found myself in Level 1, the environment was so different that I felt a bit of shock being there, I found a base of the M.E.G and B.N.T.G, they, fortunately, gave me the tablet that you and Liz have and they also introduced me to Tom and his diner, I ate a lot of food and I felt better about making it out of this place."

Liz sympathised with Lyman's experience, she had felt the same as well. "I feel you, Lyman, I hit myself against a table and I somehow got into the Backrooms."

Lyman was happy that Liz sympathised with his experience with the Backrooms, Garfield and Odie got bored with Lyman talking all the time and the two started to play a game of chasey around the three. Jon, Liz, and Lyman didn't mind the two running around them in circles and even on the ceiling.

"Anyways!" Lyman exclaimed, "I was wonder on how to get out of the Backrooms, brainstorming ideas on how to get out and make sure I wasn't going in circles but then I suddenly made it to Level 2 and ho boy was it an experience in and of itself." he remarked, "I saw entities like Smilers and Skin-Stealers, I was frankly so terrified by that experience that I don't want to through it again." he concluded.

Jon and Liz were amazed by Lyman's story. "I understand, Lyman" Jon replied "I was also terrified of the Backrooms, just imagine trying to live here when you have a place on earth," he added.

"You are absolutely right, Jon." Lyman told his friend "while I was in Level 2 I found some supplies in crates, I didn't get Almond Water when I was in Level 1, which I am a little embarrassed about. I soon ended up in Level 3 and I think you can imagine what it was like to be in there." he breathed

"High risk, high reward," Garfield commented

Lyman continued "There were a lot of entities, at almost every turn I saw a glimpse of female Death Moths, even more Skin-Stealers, Smilers congregating at an area and I felt a bit watched despite them not noticing me, Hounds growling similarly to Odie when he gets aggressive, to put it short, it was chaos and I felt like I couldn't make it back to reality."

"C'mon, Lyman," Jon told him "You have made it this far, and you be sure you will make it far with us!" he assured him putting his hand on one of Lyman's shoulders and Liz did the same, Garfield turned away.

"Thanks, Jon, I also can't thank you enough Liz" Lyman told the two, feeling significantly better about himself "I somehow managed to get to Level 4 and immediately exited because there was nobody to team up with, I went to Level 5... say, Jon, which way did you and Liz go?" he asked him

"Oh, we just took the dark wood door that went to Level 9." Jon told Lyman "and my goodness was it difficult." he added, Lyman agreed with Jon "I am surprised at how I managed to survive that place, all I did was run, hide, look at the tablet for information, run, hide rinse and repeat. Level 10 was certainly a blessing, I found myself lying in the wheat for a long time, although I was attacked by an aggressive Faceling, fortunately, I made it out and gave him a good beating."

Jon was amazed that his friend somehow survived by himself. "And here we are?" he added with a bit of suspicion, "And here we are!" Lyman concluded his story, Jon and Liz breathed a sigh of relief, and Garfield and Odie were glad that Lyman finished his story, Garfield and Odie stopped playing the game of chasey.

"Now what?" Liz asked everyone "what do we do?" she added, and everybody looked at each other in a haze of confusion. Jon soon came to his senses "What about we check the door?" he suggested to the four, Liz and Lyman realised that Jon was right and they checked the door, it was unlocked.

Everybody was happy with the results and wanted to get out of this place, even Garfield was excited to exit the white room, "Want to come, boys?" Jon asked Garfield and Odie. "C'mon, Odie!" Lyman told his pet dog, Garfield and Odie followed Jon, Lyman, and Liz into Level 13.
