Quote:
I don't know where the hell I am or what the hell i'm doing here. I don't know how long I've been here or why me and not somebody else... Nothing makes sense. Everything is pretty dark. There`s like one bulb on the center of the ceiling and that's it. My name is Fred Davis. I don't really feel comfortable disclosing my age. All i can tell you (that is,if somebody reads this) is that i'm in a big room with almost nothing.

My most recent memory was when my friend,Schnoo,told me I looked like a mess.
I was drunk. Now I'm alone, in a room, with no doors or windows. Hell, I don't even know how much oxygen I'm getting. I'm sure it can seep through the corners but still,major clostophobia (sp?) I'll write later when i stop freaking out.

- Called for help a few times...nothing. That was expected....w/e. Let's go over what I have with me.
- clothes (at least I'm not naked...)
- pen and notebook I'm writing in (don't know where they came from. Found them in front of me)
- 3 gallons of water Just plastic containers of water. (In front of me as well)

Room

Room is pretty big. Tried hitting things and breaking walls but this is super solid material. I have to work on my fucking dropkick...

SHIT SHIT SHIT Get me out of here God!!!

*** Rudimentary drawing of a room labeled with the words "me", "perfect cube", "notebook", "light", and "water"

I cried... crap. If this is some kind of prank it is not in any way funny... SHIT I'm going to sleep...

Okay, hopefully I'll be a bit more logical in my writing now.... I used to keep a journal in school was part of club where we analyzed our writing to try and understand how people function. I feel like whoever set me up in this wants to find out how I function.... This is scary. to think they locked me in here.... with a notebook and water. I quess maybe I'll be let out eventually.

There's a constant humming... I never noticed it before because it was just part of the surrounding sounds....I think the walls are going places. Things don't feel the same as yesterday. The humming is still going.

Day 3....or at least that's what I think...it's the third time I've woken up. Maybe this is some kind of government conspiracy. I was kipnapped for sure but by who? A rival? friend? My job's company? the government? Whatever, I'm no detective...

I realized I've been drinking way too much. I don't know how long I'm going to be here so I might as well conserve my water....Measured the room with my shoes. I was bored.

Pretty sure it's a cube now. Something around eight feet long, wide, and high. Feels like the room got smaller?

Jogged around the perimeter. Now i'm tired. Goodnight.

Day 4-possibly: Humming keeps on going....this entire thing reminds me of my new job. I never ever knew what it was really about. It was assigned to economically manage a tech and test company called Grand Gaia, they were into all kinds of machines, constructing and designing something like this chamber would really catch their attention.

Okay... okay this is freaky...i am freaking out. I know what the hum I keep hearing is now and it's really really not good news. I just measure the walls again with my shoes... I was right, the room kept changing. It's shrinking... the room is shrinking on me.... It's been around a day now and the room is close to 7 ft long, wide, and high. That means it's shrinking around a foot a day.

Okay.. I can probably fit in a box 3*3*3 ft. max or even 4 ft, so I'm going to have to survive like 3 or 4 days. Maybe by then, somebody will let me out. I'm going to start rationing my water for say 5 days. There has to be a way out...

I'm hoping this is some kind of psychotest and that I'm not really going to get ?????. That would suck.... Then again, I'm not too scared because whoever put me in here rationed my water. They gave me 3 gallons for God's sake. That must mean I'm meant to live. Not freaking too much... yet.

Day 5? It's shrinking for sure. Down to 6 feet... I'm going to have to crouch soon. This is disgusting(?). Fuck you whoever put me in here, whoever gave me this damn notebook, you're sickening.

There's a note at the back of this pad. Numbers and then mother_nature... What the hell? I had a friend who used to speak of how nature was a mother to us and such. They was in university with me. Probably not related. What the hell is the big thing of numbers? I can't decipher it.

Going to sleep again. Whatever, I know it's going to squeeze down on me again but what can I do?

Day 6
Okay I'm really getting scared. There are no signs of anything. I tried so many different ways of getting out. Took the lightbulb out and shocked myself accidentally. Almost broke the bulb. Just the thought of complete darkness in here freaks me out... maybe part of the social experiment is seeing if I'm willing to kill myself with the lightbulb electrocution?

NOT FUNNY. I'm tripping

Forgot to mention... I'm wading in my own urine. Good thing I have shoes...

Everything smells like shit. I could have at least had a toilet or something....

Jesus I keep ???? into the lightbulb. It kinda burns. Hopefully the waiting is worth it and I'll be let out after a while. I could be freed. Lightbulb is ????.... walls are still closing in. Machine is still humming.



Day 7 4 ft * 4 ft * 4 ft

Locked my legs. But it's hell trying to hold walls off. I can feel them moving. Hope I have enough water. Space is hella crowded and back hurts. Goddamned hard to write.

Day 7 3 ft * 3 ft * 3 ft

To those of whom it may concern, I Evan James Smith am currently enclosed in a cell... 3 ft in each direction. At this point there is little hope left for me... I realize that as my surroundings crush me, there is little chance for such horror to be a test of some sort. I have lost the hope for my survival and continue to live only so this message can be recorded. I will take every way possible to conserve this notebook so... when I die pass hopefully my message may be delivered. I never had a strong relationship... just a mother and friends but if I really have to Olivia from high school.

101 45
mother_nature

Forced me to write on the other side of the paper. This is getting hard. To my dear mother, I love you in every way imaginable. To my brother... I wish I could have spent a bit more time with you and your pals......and to my father, may you rest in peace wherever you are. I wish that nobody give up in their quest for joy, for everyone to pursue and appreciate their privileges. If I do not survive this take this notebook, study it and find the meaning to mother_nature and the cryptic message.

And to whoever it may concern, mother_nature if that is what you go by, understand that in no way have you won... in no way have you succeeded in crushing my soul my confidence and my hopes of well being for everyone.
your pad has been used.
your pen has been powered.
your goals are failures.
for as I write in my crushed state... my bones slowly being compressed... with urine up to my knees, crushed water drums on my back and a burning lightbulb upon my flesh which I must soon remove completely... what have you won out of all of this? These may be...

Thanks... and changing contraction to constructing makes it a much clearer sentence. Anybody else see anything that needs changing, just holler.

 		OK, I think that's the full transcript above. Again, if anybody notices something wrong, just holler. I'll fix it.

There's a few things near the end I couldn' t make out. Dunno

 		Some insight into this whole affair.
That "Evan James Smith" in the the notebook is a real throw. I'd say were looking at one of three possibilities:

1. The man that was actualy rescued is Fred Davis posing as Evan Smith for whatever reason.
2. Fred Davis is actually mother_nature.
3. Both.

We know thanks to the journal that Evan was crushed in the machine, not Fred. I'm going to assume that this is the real Evan. I'll call him RealEvan. Yet the person who was saved is claiming to be Evan. I'll call him FakeEvan.

RealEvan writes that he was in a writing club dedicated to studying human function.
FakeEvan tells us Fred Davis (his roommate) was in a writing club.

RealEvan was crushed in the humming machine
FakeEvan says that he heard a humming and faint screams in the room in the room.

So RealEvan and FakeEvan may have been in the room at the same time, but FakeEvan's account of Fred Davis is obviously skewed, so I don't think he's a reliable source for information. He could be lying on purpose or maybe he was brainwashed.

Mother_Nature did express that it's purpose for these events is to study the human mind, so I think brainwashing is a definite possibility. This could also have a connection to the club that Evan was in.

Edit for clarification.
