Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, I'm welcome to Stories All the Time. Glad you are here. Let's get into it. March 7th, 2011. The Federal Bureau of Investigation came across an abandoned shack in the countryside of Florida and happened upon something strange. A journal written by one Jake Rogers, a mysterious person deemed missing and whereabouts unknown.
August 3, 2012, this journal has been documented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has been deemed classified by the government to not be shared until a specified date. All information is a journal by one Jake Rogers, a now-retired doctor whose whereabouts continue to go unknown despite heavy searching.
January 6th, 2014 further attempts to locate and question Jake Rogers have ended in failure. It seems he and his companions refuse to show themselves and continue to move around, evading authorities at all costs. Report added to databanks. November 11th, 2015 journal of a one Jake Rogers has been deemed unclassified and can now be found in public documents.
Chapter 2: What strange discovery did the FBI make in Florida?
Viewers be advised, what you are about to read is disturbing. Journal Entry 1 Vacation Begins Strange Disappearances Long trips had always been fun to us. We work rather draining jobs, so when we decided on our next vacation, we were excited about it.
I and my wife had originally planned a trip to one of the more common beaches in the Bahamas or Florida, but we decided on a much more secluded place to be away from the masses. We're both a bit on the anti-social side. Public resorts and beaches tend to give us anxiety. We were content as we got the trip for an exceptionally good deal.
Chapter 3: Who is Jake Rogers and why is his journal significant?
We planned to leave sometime during July before it got too hot in August, but some issues with the family cropped up and we had to reschedule by a week. This was annoying but manageable, as we were planning to be gone at least two months.
At first, we were worried we wouldn't have a view of the water, but soon we learned that the place recently got renovated and had a brand new inmate for people seeking the more eye-candy getaways. This was the main reason we chose this place. Because of where I and my wife lived, we had to take a flight there.
It was cheaper than driving the entire distance, as gas prices here easily skyrocket to stupid levels, and is despised by our family with the most white-hot of passions. Before leaving, we left our two kids with their grandparents and told them when we'd be back, saying our goodbyes, as our kids had puppy eyes begging us not to leave.
Now, I wish we had listened to them, for I fear we will never get to see them or our kin again. The journey to the airport itself was the most stressful part of the trip, as going through customs always ends with people thinking I was a damn suicide bomber or something.
I'm sure most people wouldn't know what I mean, but you always have to be scanned for metallic objects and dangerous chemicals before you can even board the plane itself, which can also take forever, especially if the airport is crowded, unfortunately. We were packed so tight there was barely a foot between us, all a good 30 minutes passed, and we were finally allowed to board our plane.
For those of you who are unaware, this is a private three-man plane, which consists of me, my wife, and a pilot. So you can guess it isn't that big. It's just big enough to fit us in our carriage in the storage compartment in the back. A private plane is always a better option. But of course, he only charged $2.50 for the trip to the airport near our location of interest.
While on the way, we decided to chat a little bit to pass the time. The pilot asked, so where are you lovely folks off to? To which I responded in kind, we work stressful jobs, so we have planned a two-month trip to a secluded beach. I replied, to which my wife said, Indeed, we got it for a fair price too, didn't we hun? She said with a cute accent, to which I spoke, Indeed we did.
I'm very grateful to whom gave us this location. I replied back, as the pilot exclaimed, I hope you two have a lovely time. You'll likely see me again in two months to take you back. He said cheerfully, as I replied, Thanks, we appreciate it. The rest of the trip was silent, with me and my wife on Facebook, talking to our family while on the flight.
For some context, my wife was a nurse and I was a doctor. We both made a very hefty sum of $335,000 a year combined because of our field of work, which enabled us to live very comfortably with our small family and we never went overboard with houses or vehicles. But we had state-of-the-art phones that could maintain a long battery charge and a hefty internet connection to boot. They were good.

Chapter 4: What events led to the couple's vacation plans?
Unfortunately, we weren't able to spend much time in the dining area on the first day, as we had spent most of the day travelling, and we were frankly too tired. We decided the next thing we could do before heading back to our room is play a few mini-games, like beanbag toss for example.
I and my wife were up against another couple, and we scored top by beating the opposing couple by a good 23 minutes 12. Back home, we love playing this game as a pastime, so we're both very adept at it. It was 8.30 when everyone decided to turn in, so I and my wife followed suit. A waiter stopped us and told us that our room was room 24, the same corresponding number as our parking spot outside.
I thanked the waiter for letting us know, as we were really tired and ready to turn in. I wrapped my arm around my wife, and we both walked casually down the aisle, sharing our opinions on the trip thus far. We knew after the first day it was going to be awesome, but we'd soon learn we were very wrong. How could we have been so blind?
It was obvious by the lower payment on this trip that something would go wrong. Now we use some bickering over it now. About two days after arriving at our vacation spot in Sebastian Inn at Florida, we started to notice some strange happenings. It was very apparent by the circumstances that were unfolding right before our very eyes.
We grew nervous, unable to focus, and even worse still, we felt so isolated, so disconnected from the world we had left behind. Around 5 hours after falling asleep, roughly 2am, we noticed some strange noises coming from way down the hall. It was muffled, to say the least. We didn't think much of it, of course, after all.
Most couples come here to get away, but also to have a little fun without their kids around to hear or intervene. It felt like 10 minutes or so, and the sounds finally stopped. Before long, we were back asleep, not thinking much of it, of course. The next morning, we decided to head out for coffee. The morning sun peeled through the blinds in our bedroom window.
I rose out of bed, greeting the new day with a fresh smile, and decided to let my wife sleep for a bit longer. She deserved it, given how hard she works. I left her a note telling her I went to get some coffee for us both. Upon leaving the dorm room, I hooked a right turn and made my way back down the aisle we had travelled down the night before. The rooms were numbered from one to...
25, the last room 25, is the one to our left. Room 25 was empty, as no one had supposedly taken up that spot in the inn. It didn't cross my mind once more after that. As I made my way down the aisle, I noticed room 1 at the very end was vacant. This was it, Ray. I knew there was someone in that room last night. Where could they have gone?
I pondered on it and concluded that perhaps they only registered one night and were locals. I continued to the dining room to grab some coffee. It was free with the trip, mind you. After that, I made my way down the aisle again, back to my dorm room. By the time I made it back, she was awake, washing her face with warm water.

Chapter 5: What unusual experiences did the couple encounter at the inn?
Be at peace, loving wife, and an amazing mother. I struggled to let her go, but I knew I had to. I forcibly pulled myself away and cleaned up the mess I made as to make things seem like they didn't survive the birth process. I then returned the doors to their places before I entered and quietly made my way back to my cell. Upon returning, I collapsed in the bed.
Following my eyes out, I opened my eyes, and I swear I saw the spirit of my wife staring back, smiling at me reassuringly that I'd be okay. Then as quickly as she appeared, she faded. I rolled over onto my bed and looked up at the ceiling. I felt a loneliness I had never known before in my life up until this point.
It felt like a spear had been impaled into my heart, leaving a massive, gaping hole. That whole night, I did not sleep. My eyes stayed wide, and I stared directly at the ceiling, hoping that what I'd witnessed was no more than a horrible dream. But try as I might, there is no way what I had seen was just imagination. The only solace I had in me was that I would make them pay.
Journal entry for my wife was dead. Nothing would change that. All I could do was swear to her I would make it out and find some way to destroy them in the process.
Chapter 6: How did the couple react to the strange noises at night?
I already had a good head start as I learned of several major infrastructures around the living city. So my goals were clear. Inform the other inmates. Tell them the plan. Use the next night to stage a breakout. And we're on. There were certainly plenty of biological and technological mini-subs to do the job right just enough for all twelve of us.
The next night came quickly once I explained the plan to them. I quietly broke all of their phased locks and told them to get ready. I would stage the breakout and make it the clear bill into the escape area. After that, I crouched down and made my way slowly through the curving tunnels and passageways that I'll trek to for at least twenty minutes to reach my goal to react to core.
Because of my tinkering, I learned that without it, the city would have no power, and without power, it would be nearly pitch black.
but with just enough light it could also be route to trigger an unstoppable 5-minute countdown to self-destruct which would send the city crashing down into the depths of the ocean well below its crushed depth and taking the foul creatures with it as I made my way to the reactor port I quickly overloaded every pump in the place which would cause the water pumps to slowly overheat and overload, adding water to the inside in just under 15 minutes.
After that, I flipped the main switches off and tore them out. This set off a blaring, alien-like alarm that rang through the city. A countdown started and I instantly bolted back for the exit because I could run without fear of being heard. I was quickly able to make my way back, but just by the skin of my teeth.
By the time I made it back, several small explosions were bringing down buildings all inside the city. They shrieked in agony, further solidifying my suspicion of them being living entities rather than just buildings. As soon as I made it back, we split into groups. I and three others hopped into one mini-suborganism, while the other eight hopped into two different ones.
the control for simple, no more complex than the average boat as we threw the throttle into high gear, aiming for the surface as we shot up. Behind us, another massive explosion took place, which sank the city instantly. We heard an ear-piercing shriek as a massive tendril swung right in front of the Minisub.
It averted us away in the nick of time, but unfortunately, the two other Minisubs were destroyed. The tendril was huge, so massive I couldn't see the entire thing. The city wasn't at all a collection of several entities. It was one massive one. I was just glad we were getting away. Still, we paused for a moment to give prayers to the ones who had died, including our wives.
After that, we got out of there. It had been almost ten days since any of us saw the light of day, and finally, we saw it again. The beautiful blue sky above us, and no longer in permanent darkness, I set a course for Florida. I made sure to take us far away from the accursed inn where it all started, and as we finally ran aground on the uncharted beach.
