A three by three image mood board that has a long underground hallway without end, a lit up skeeball machine, the back light of a car with a metal plate that says 2000, a brutalist structure, a sandy beach, a hand gripping someone else's forearm, a screen filled with lines of green code, blood on white tile with a hand doing the sign of the horns and a pair of white sneakers almost out of frame, and a single illuminated escalator in a dark room. In neon green text are the words Monitored Activity, Horror,  Sci-fi, Unficion, @Astramachina. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

MONITORED ACTIVITY: A state-of-the-art security system arrives with the New Millennium, and shoppers at Prime Plaza can now spend their time and hard earned money with newfound peace of mind. That same luxury doesnโ€™t extend to the mallโ€™s employees. Hallucinations of missing girls and impossible hallways haunt Shaw's every shift. Footage of bloated corpses vomiting sand, violent indiscretions committed by management, and a hell-dimension of perverse delights makes the security guard equal parts sick and turned on. Itโ€™s a good thing that Shaw is impervious to shame. There is no serial killer, haunting, or starved alien life-form that can stop him from getting what he wants: PTO, and in his boss' pants. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

Two Polaroids. The one labeled Shaw Price '01 is of a young man with dark eyes and long hair tied back in a ponytail, he looks cocky and gay. The one labeled Eddie Conners 2001 is of a basic looking middle-aged man with short hair, serial killer glasses, and bags under his pale eyes. The entire graphic is covered with 2000s style sticker decorations: a glitter heart, a glitter star, a CD, and a swoopy star circle in neon green. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

A promo image for Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller. In bright green text it reads: A security guard clocks in for the worst shift of his life. The boss? Probably a cult leader. The missing girl? Pretty dead. The mall? Very much alive. The word mall is in highlighted red text. In tiny bright green text: So is the taxidermied armadillo? In gradient blue, 90s style word art it says: The Backrooms...if people fucked in them. Then back to bright green text: Pre-order now. Message brought to you by Krasner Technologies: Your future, their gain.

MONITORED ACTIVITY:
โ€”for when nostalgia is, literally, bait.

๐Ÿ“ผ A potentially sentient mall.
๐Ÿ“ผ A serial killing cult leader.
๐Ÿ“ผ Autocannibalism in liminal spaces.
๐Ÿ“ผ MC [๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ&๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ] is more than a little fucked up.
๐Ÿ“ผ Aliens?
๐Ÿ“ผ Taxidermy armadillos.
๐Ÿ“ผ Gay sex in the flesh pit.

A dimmed photo of juicy-looking pomegranate seeds and the following text: The lich had the same warm aura, but instead of the welcoming heat of a radiant springtime sun after the cold winter, it was the aura of a fading twilight sun. Still trying to warm the world, but it left a bitter sensation upon the skin. โ€œCome.โ€ The lichโ€™s voice was soft as his crimson-stained fingers curled around the curved handle of his cane, which Dobroslav numbly held onto. โ€œYou said youโ€™d follow me into the depths of hell?โ€ The lichโ€™s smile was a warm contrast to his corpse-cold grasp on Dobroslavโ€™s hand. โ€œLetโ€™s go deeper in, then.โ€ Cannibal Candy by Ezra Arndt.

My contribution to #sludgepit is my Gothic horrormance with people-eating necromancers, dubiously consented to servitude, and a feral black cat main character who would fight anything and anyone. #HR #DR #WIP
