Patient 10158144155

I was browsing some games on Roblox. I already played the newer games, such as Tower of Hell, a lot, so I needed a break from them. I decided to take a look at some of the old games for some nostalgia. When I pulled up the original Town of Robloxia, I noticed that it had a new update. According to what I read in the update's description, they just added and modified some stuff. That's okay, it'll still be the same as I remember and love. Or so I thought.

I started the game and explored the places I remembered. There were many other players in this server, which made it way more fun, just like the old days. When I noticed that no one was talking about the update, I got curious. I typed in the chat: "I guess no one's noticed the new update?" No one responded. I tried something else: "What did they add?" Then, one player responded: "Oh, just this new building. Nothing special."

A new building? That's interesting. "Well, what is it?" I asked. "A new supermarket? A police station? A restaurant? A hotel? A studio?" Still, no one responded. I decided to make one last guess: "A hospital?" At this, all the players stopped what they were doing. After a moment of awkward silence, they all walked out into a big field. Even with the existence of the chat menu, I followed them out of curiosity.

They formed a giant circle. I was so busy thinking about what this was about, that I didn't realize until a few seconds later that I had walked right in the middle of the circle. "Ok, WTF is this?" I asked, slightly annoyed now by these speds. "Are we playing Duck Duck Goose now?" No one replied for a full fucking minute. Finally, the first player to respond to me spoke up. "Well kid," they said, "looks like you're the first to figure it out." Ok? So what? Do I win something now? "It's good that you know now," said another, "but if you plan to go further, then you must go alone, for it is too dangerous for more than one." This just gave me more questions. But before I could type another reply, everyone except me just up and left the server.

Good news? It's less glitchy now. Bad news? I have no one to ask about this. Of course, I could have looked some internet stuff up right then and there, but, as a truster of instinct, I had to find this out myself. I got in a car and drove down a road that led out of town. This was a pretty long road, following the train tracks for what seemed like miles. The fifteen minutes I spent driving in a straightass line felt like hours. Finally, a big building came into view. I observed it for a bit. It looked as brand new as the improved graphics. It was mostly white with black windows, and in the center, in all grey letters, read the sign: "Robloxian Asylum."

I drove up to the entrance, which was a large metal gate, guarded by NPCs. That's new. I haven't seen NPCs like this in a hot dog minuto. I thought I would need to switch my "Job" to "Doctor" or something, but to my surprise, I was allowed to just head on in. Although confused, I accepted the entry and kept going. I parked the car close to the door and went into the building, where I found more NPCs, who would alternate between being stationary or active, almost like regular NPCs, but I had never seen any Roblox NPCs act so humanly before. It was weird as hell, but cool at the same time.

I walked up to the counter, where an employee's question bubble popped up: "Welcome to the Asylum. How can I help you." I was given two options to reply with:

1. "I'm new to this place, can I get a tour?"

2. "I need to visit someone."

I wanted to explore the building for myself so I could see what all those weirdos were beeping about, but when I tried to leave the counter, my character wouldn't budge. Oh god, I need to say something to move again? (sighs in frustration) Fine. I chose option two. I was then given an interactive clipboard of patients available for visitors. Most of them were just random names, but there was this one name that caught my eye: "Patient 10158144155." There was something very odd about this name. I knew that this would give me answers. I selected it, and I was free to go.

I was given a map of the building that told me where all the patients were. Patient 10158144155 appeared to be on the lowest floor. I went over to a nearby elevator and began my descent. I got the classic, relaxing elevator music for a few seconds. As soon as it reached the bottom floor, I stepped out. I expected it to be dark and gloomy, being underground. Amazingly, however, it looked pretty clean and decently illuminated. I ventured the hall, looking into the empty rooms to see if I could find more clues. I found nothing...yet.

Finally, at the end of the hall, I reached Patient 10158144155's room. The door looked different from the rest. It was steel. It wasn't guarded, but it looked like it was meant to be secure. Inside the room, it looked like all the other rooms. I took a goof look around it, finding some very interesting things, like drawings, documents, and artifacts. I looked at the bed, and there he was. Light yellow skin, dark yellow shirt, and blue pants. There was something strangely familiar about him that I just couldn't put my finger on.

I got closer to him. His face wore the default smile. It didn't make me say anything to him. It just let me look at him. I decided not to say anything in the chat either. I didn't want to be weird, even though I was alone. I decided I've seen enough. I left the asylum and got back in the car. I was not prepared for what happened hen the headlights turned on. There, right in front of the car, was Patient 10158144155. Freaked out, I reversed quickly out of the parking lot and started back down the road to the town.

Eventually, I got back to the town and was ready to go back to where I started in the server and save my game. But when I got to my spawn point, I was shocked to find Patient 10158144155 standing right where I had spawned. Then, before I could think of anything else, his own text bubble popped up. He said: "You know who I am. I know you and what you did to me. You took everything I loved from me, and I'm gonna make sure you suffer just like I did. Enjoy the torture." And then, he just disappeared. I left the game. When I got back to the menu, I noticed that the new update was gone; it reset to the actual most recent update.

I had no words for what I went through. I still don't know what's going on. I want to believe that it's just an Roblox error, or a stupid prank, but I know that isn't the issue here. And if that's not crazy enough, I realized something else. I remembered that any numbers equal to or less than twenty six were the alphabet numbers. Any of those numbers in a specific order create a word or phrase. Therefore, "10158144155" is...

John Doe.
