I saw @thebackroomswikidot has something called “Backtober” this month, and I knew I HAD to participate! Heck yeah!
Like usual, I will be doing these for the characters of my story Romance The Backrooms, a liminal space otome with 5 main love interests.
Other Info: This is from Adiel’s point of view. Adiel is a backrooms entity who has been trying to find an exit to the frontrooms that entities can go through. In this monologue, he is speaking to Carla.
The backrooms is an echo of a world I’ve never seen, a world I want to be in more than anything. Do you know how long I’ve wanted to go to Earth, how much I’ve tried to search for a way entities can leave the backrooms? I’ve tried so hard for so long to find a way out, but no matter how hard I search, I keep coming up empty.
Sometimes I wonder if I should give up, and resign myself to the idea that this is my home. But deep within my heart, that doesn’t feel right. I feel displaced in the backrooms, like I don’t belong. Like this place is a strange, distorted dream.
The backrooms . . . it should be paradise. After all, it’s basically an infinite world, and that means infinite possibilities.
But it also means an infinite number of ways to suffer. An infinite number of ways for your hopes to be dashed. An infinite number of ways to see people die, over and over and over again.
I hope I don’t lose you, too.
