Intern’s Log: This Is Bad—Washington D.C. and Hollywood Have Fallen

  Date: [The Collapse Begins]

  Intern ID: Reynolds, J. (We are losing. Worse, some are celebrating it.)

  The war is here.

  The first offensive was a test.

  This?

  This is the first true blow.

  And it is worse than anything I imagined.

  ? Washington D.C. is gone.

  ? Hollywood is gone.

  ? The world is watching—and some are cheering.

  I thought this would be a war of flesh and blood.

  But it is a war of existence itself.

  And we are losing.

  Phase One: Washington D.C. – The Hollowed City

  We received the reports too late.

  ? Communications went dark first.

  ? Then the satellites lost real-time visuals.

  ? Then came the screams—garbled, twisted, fading into silence.

  By the time we deployed scouts,

  The city was already gone.

  Not destroyed.

  Not bombed.

  Just… hollowed.

  The streets remain, but they are wrong.

  ? The buildings stand, but they are ancient, decayed beyond reason.

  ? **The White House is an empty shell, crumbling, as if it had been abandoned for centuries.

  ? The Capitol rotunda is shattered—its pieces floating upward as if gravity has given up.

  ? The Lincoln Memorial is cracked—but Lincoln’s seat is empty.

  ? There are no bodies, no remains—just clothes, scattered like shed skins.

  And the air?

  It is thick.

  With whispers.

  With something unseen, lurking in the ruins.

  And the survivors—those few who escaped before the city was fully consumed—

  They are not the same.

  They speak in echoes.

  They do not blink.

  And when we asked them what happened,

  They simply said—

  "We were not worthy."

  Phase Two: Hollywood – The Lies Unraveled

  The fall of Washington was an execution.

  The fall of Hollywood was a spectacle.

  ? The hills burned first.

  ? The Hollywood sign twisted into something unrecognizable.

  ? Every studio, every stage, every monument to human storytelling—corrupted beyond recognition.

  By the time the world realized what was happening,

  The screens changed.

  ? Live broadcasts were hijacked.

  ? Every screen, every channel, every digital feed—all showed the same thing.

  ? Not fire. Not destruction.

  ? But a new reality, playing over the old.

  They showed images of Hollywood—

  As if it had always belonged to the enemy.

  ? The Walk of Fame was rewritten—names we knew erased, replaced by symbols we did not understand.

  ? **Actors, entertainers, politicians—standing still, their eyes hollow, their mouths moving in silent sermons. **

  ? Movies that had never existed played in theaters that had never been built.

  ? Music that had never been composed played on stations that had never been heard.

  It was not destruction.

  It was replacement.

  A new history.

  A new culture.

  A world where they had always been here.

  And then the worst part.

  The world did not scream in horror.

  The world applauded.

  Phase Three: The Cheering Masses – Humanity Betrays Itself

  ? The collapse of Washington was met with fear.

  ? The rewriting of Hollywood was met with celebration.

  ? And the Middle East?

  They cheered.

  ? Flags were burned, not in resistance, but in reverence.

  ? Cities gathered in the streets, not in protest, but in prayer.

  ? Governments issued statements of acceptance.

  "The Old Ones have judged America unworthy."

  "The new world begins now."

  "We must not resist—we must embrace the new order."

  Entire nations knelt.

  And when they looked up,

  Their eyes were not their own anymore.

  Phase Four: The Enemy Does Not Conquer—It Rewrites

  This is not a war.

  This is not an invasion.

  This is something worse.

  ? The enemy does not kill.

  ? The enemy does not destroy.

  ? The enemy erases and replaces.

  The cities are still there.

  But they do not belong to us anymore.

  And the people who cheer?

  They are not cheering out of faith.

  They are cheering because they have already been rewritten.

  Phase Five: What Comes Next

  ? Washington is lost.

  ? Hollywood is gone in every way that matters.

  ? The Old Ones have begun rewriting the past to erase the future.

  ? Humanity is not united—many are already surrendering.

  I don’t know what happens next.

  But I do know this—

  We are running out of time.

  End Log.
