This has been haunting me for a year. Needless to say, I am relieved to finally publish it. Initially, the page was supposed to be a slight format-screw mocking the scientific tone often used in pages by writing the most outlandish, pseudo-scientific crap about one simple "truth": there is a chair in the center of a room. Anyway, I finally decided to send that draft to the trash, as I felt blocked with that first version.
This was written over the last months during short impulses of motivation and creativity, but was thought about earlier. There are themes… I think, but I'll let people try to interpret what this is all about.
A few inspirations have led me to this final version1:
- Lucky's monologue in "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett;
- "This House Has People In It" and Alan Resnick's works;
- My distaste for the (now deleted) Chair Room;
- Gilles Deleuze;
- The expression "The Elephant in the room";
- Conversations with my mother;
- My endless tiredness;
- The character from Earthbound, Ness;
- The Loch Ness;
- Of course, the NES;
- Okay, I'll stop here;
- "The Wiki ruined the Backrooms" folks;
- The clinical tone and its consequences;
- The Backrooms Wikidot community. This one is dedicated to you all.
A few thanks, from memory:
- Thanks to
PrinceBun,
SecondtoInfinity for critting the first version of this… thing, as well as
scutoid studios for helping out with formatting on both versions! Special thanks to Second for the words of encouragement despite making his lenghty crit go to waste, lol.
- Thanks to
Praetor3005,
BlockHead42,
r a t i f,
C-Graph for giving criticisms or opinions on the second version, and most particularly
DivineAtlas for going as far as spending eight dollars on plane wi-fi just so they could finish their SPaG crit.
- Thanks to the readers of the past, present and future.
