I haven’t left the house in three days. Can’t. Not with what’s out there.

I sit at my window and watch the trucks go by. Same rigs, same plates. Nobody else even LOOKS at them. People walk their dogs, kids ride their bikes, like everything’s fine. But it’s not! They don’t see it because they don’t WANT to see it!!

You think the media doesn’t know? HA! The news anchors with their perfect smiles, their “supply chain issues” and “outages”? LIES!! They’re bought a▓d paid for. Corporations, government, ALL of them running cover. Do you really think billion-dollar grocery chains don’t know why their shelves are empty? Do you believe major internet providers don’t have backups?! They’re not incompetent.. They’re complicit!!!

And the neighbors… god, the neighbors!
I don’t recognize them anymore. They stand too still. Talking nonsense with heads bent at the wrong angles. And their backs! Always scratching at their backs. I’ve SEEN what’s moving under their clothes. Eggs, larvae, call it what you want – but they’re not human anymore. They’re hosts. They’re mindless.

<font color=”#ff0000″>Don’t trust ANYONE! Not even your closest friends!</font>

If you’re reading this, you need to take action, NOW! Lock your doors. Board up your windows. Fill your bathtub with water before the taps go dry. Don’t answer knocks, don’t answer the phone, don’t believe a word from anyone who tells you everything’s fine. They want you calm. They want you docile. They want you READY.

It’s happening. It’s happening. It’s here.
<strike>I don’t know how much longer I can keep them out</strike>

Stay inside! Stay alive!

rusty_nail: RD, you okay? This one reads different. More intense. Take a break, man.

bexarwatch: Checked the water pressure here in Round Rock – dropped overnight. Whole block filling tubs just in case. Weird.

hiddenstar: My neighbor came to the door last night. Asked if I’d “seen the Bloom.” Their eyes… weren’t their eyes anymore.

These entries are the last surviving fragments of The Lone Star Signal, an obscure blog authored by an individual known only as “RD4Doom.” The authenticity of these writings cannot be verified; yet in the aftermath of the unexplained blackout that swallowed central Texas in the fall of 2025, they remain one of the few records of what transpired. Contemporary reporting has vanished, and the scattered survivors of what is now called The Bloom exhibit shock, memory loss, and fractured recollections. In the absence of other testimony, these posts stand as the clearest—and most unsettling—account of events leading up to the catastrophe.
