The December 11th incident (Dumb creepypasta)

Just so you know, I made this out of boredom after seeing what happened to the subreddit today, don't take it seriously as the point of this creepypasta is for it to be bad. Anyways! Hello Half Life Community!

Lettuce Begin!

December 12th, the TGA just ended yesterday, they showed new Resident Evil game, and The Forest 3, through I was expecting to see anything from Valve too. I guess it's just another day without Half Life 3 and fans being disappointed, I sure was, through I knew what I was signing myself up for. So I didn't hope too much for the possibility of the game appearing, I decided to visit the Half Life Reddit, see how people are coping with this. And just like I expected, most of the people there were trying to cope with the disappointment, others were still injecting Hopium into themselves, rest of people at best, just decided to accept this and instead make Arkham like posts to lighten the mood. After scrolling for some time, I just decided to go and watch some YouTube on my smart TV while playing video games for the rest of day.

December 13th, I just woke up, and like always, I did the same routine of every morning, grabbing my phone, going on the reddit app and just scrolling for any posts at the front page. All the posts were just random fan arts, videos, gifs and stuff from different game communities, or just subreddits I enjoyed browsing a lot. Through as I scrolled, there was one post that caught me off guard, a post from Megaman Reddit, it was weird, I didn't joined any Megaman subreddits, or even followed posts, I wasn't much of Megaman fan neither, so seeing post from Megaman subreddit at my front page was surprising at best, out of curiosity I looked at the post, and it was screenshot, showing Half Life community post, of creepy Gordon Freeman, with dark goo leaking out of his disformed face. And he was killing the Megaman with mutated arm, the hyper realistic blood spilling out of the blue robot boy's body, seeing this as nothing more but someone on Half Life community letting out their anger on another video game character, I went to the Half Life subreddit, for more investigation on what was happening. Hoping for the best. like some fans weren't just getting angry and targeting Megaman fans, for the worst, maybe even brewing some kind of Reddit war again. I mean I understand their disappointment, anger even, after being denied new game since Alyx ending that left it on cliffhanger. Especially when most of those fans were grown up children who waited, and waited, through it gave them no reason to harass anyone, when the subreddit loaded. I felt my stomach twist upside down, the subreddit that once used to be friendly, full of posts from dedicated fans sharing their love and passion for the game series. Turned into psychological horror, every post after post was just, creepy to say at least, and the more I scrolled the worst it got, most of those posts were people going insane, others were people creating cults, there was even some who decided to inject themselves with more than just Hopium. How did that happen? After enough scrolling through and through, I finally had enough, I decided to leave the subreddit, even block it. Maybe in few weeks it would get better, but for now, I just didn't want to see more of this nightmare, I just went ahead with my daily life routine, oh boy, did I make big mistake.

The day went normal as always, I sat down in front of the computer, launched Minecraft, on my tablet I opened Girls Frontline 2, gacha game for those who don't know anything about it. I was multitasking, doing two different things at the same time, helped me stay focused, otherwise I would be getting too bored, or too lazy to do anything. As day went on, I was still playing both games, currently I managed to finish my new cool house in Minecraft after long grind of the wood and stone, or well... Most of basic foundations, there was still lots of stuff to do, like decorations and roof, as I went back to the massive caves I found, my phone started to buzz, again and again. I grabbed it and checked for the notifications, what I saw creeped me out, it was notifications from the half life subreddit, even when I blocked it, I still got bombarded with posts notifications, but that wasn't the problem itself. When I looked at the notifications context, I was frozen, I couldn't speak, I couldn't breath, I just stayed there frozen, phone in my hand. My eyes shaking, fear completely holding me up hostage.

It was posts from user called gordon_freemam666, the posts were photos of my house, since it was already getting late, entire photos were dark, except the windows of my room. As I had light turned on, and then the posts name... "I see you [Redacted], why did you leave us, your hope is low, let me refill it for you." was this some kind of prank? A sick joke? I turned off the lights, my computer and locked my front door, then I went to my bedroom, locking the bedroom door too. Hoping that they would just walk away, maybe if I ignored them, stayed in bedroom and acted like nothing was wrong, they would just get bored and leave. But then more notifications arrived, "I know you're in there, come out [Redacted], come get your Hopium." I proceeded to ignore it, but no matter how long I stayed quiet, whoever was outside got impatient and threw crowbar at my window, a god damn crowbar covered in blood, I wanted to scream, to run away, but I knew if I made wrong move, things would get worse. And that's when I looked at the window, seeing him, the distorted face of Gordon Freeman, with hyper realistic blood coming out of his eyes.

After that event, I woke up on the floor, it was daytime, I guess I passed out from fear. When I looked around, the window was still broken, but the crowbar was gone, only blood left on the floor, since that incident, I moved out. And never looked back, if you're reading this, I pray that you stay away from the Half Life community, and if you see him, that distorted version of Gordon Freeman... Hide...
