The Wrong Crossroads

In January 24 2014, as a kid, I remember logging on to Roblox everyday and playing many different games. I usually go to this game called "Crossroads" it was extremely fun back in the day, me and my friend kept playing it all the time.

One morning however, I logged on to Roblox and went to the game's page, it was different, the thumbnail looked corrupted and there was this Roblox character at the thumbnail screen, but instead of having that innocent looking smile, it's eyes were bloody and instead of smiling it frowned, and the play button instead of it's usual green color, it was red. I was confused by this, and most of all, disturbed.

However, I thought it was just a glitch or a troll, so I just clicked join and went to play the game. Thinking now, I regret doing that. When i joined the game, instead of people fighting each other with some tools, no. Everything was silent, I saw there were players in the leaderboard, but in the game, it was just me. I was confused at first, so I went looking, I went to every part of the map, yet, nobody was around.

While exploring, I saw a black orb at a hidden part of the map, I didn't remember it being there before, keep in mind, the game wasn't updated at the time I was playing this. I tried to touch it with my Roblox character, it did nothing, I shot it with my rocket launcher, and something happened.

My screen turned black, and after 10 or maybe 12 seconds, I saw a message saying, "Thank you for freeing us". After that my Roblox crashed, and when I tried to go back to the game page, everything was back to normal. I don't know what happened, I think it was a bug or something, but it left me horrified as a kid.
