A new find was brought into the lab today. Men working the demolition of a condemned warehouse at this facility discovered a rusty oil barrel that seemed to exude cold. Preliminary electromagnetic field readings yielded chaotic data before the equipment died. Barrel appears to be constructed of stainless steel and, again, radiates cold.

We opened the barrel today inside a sealed chamber. Chamber immediately frosted over. Unidentified entity found within the barrel. Appears to be gaseous and black. Indeed, the very light surrounding it appears to be “sucked in” by it’s presence. Appears to be sentient, but does not communicate in any understood way. Biological matter that comes into contact with the Entity seems to disintegrate.

An intern entered the sealed chamber alone today, without his hazard suit. He was not seen again. The Entity has double in size since being released from containment. Has become aggressive. We are sealing off the chamber immediately in light of it’s flesh-consuming properties and rapid growth. All research is halted.

It’s gone. God help us, it’s escaped.
Scientist's Log,


It’s the fucking blob! I seen it!
IT’S THE SMOKE MONSTER!
Steven King was right. The mist does exist.
ITS MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!
Well it only falls to logic that there is a humanly possible way to placate the being, considering some-one/entity managed to get it into the barrel in the first place.
Additionally, it seems that the being thrives off of thermodynamic processes and/or radiation, considering the cold state of the barrel and the darkness of the creature itself. It seems that, given it can “suck” light from the immediate vicinity, it must do so electromagnetically, because it couldn’t do so with gravity; it would have to be a black hole. The electromagnetic process would also explain the selectivity; It sucks up light and nothing else (except for heat which can’t be sucked up by any other process other then simple absorption). This electromagnetic process also explains the fried equipment.
I think you could disable and/or kill it with the correct EMP frequency and/or an extremely cold environment, and, just to be safe, deprivation of all organic life, human or otherwise.
thank you Sir. Buzz Killington
you made the creature not scary
Not that it was even scary in the first place…
lol… thanks for that insightful information
hay gais!
I like this one. The last part is extremely well done.
OH MY GOD READMAN.
GHASTLY? IS THAT YOU?
IT WAS PHONE!
i lol’d
@Bob:
I lol’d.
This was epic.
…if a flesh eating entity escaped from a cell i’m not writing in my diary ><
that is all.
I agree with anonymous
thats me when hungry
if you give the blob some cereal he might stop eat the people
There never was a cold monster. They just killed off the intern for repeatedly getting their coffee orders wrong and made up the cold monster story to cover things up. Duhh!
rusty stainless steel barrel eh?
@Readman
NERDS FTW. 8D -raises hand and waits for a high five-
(high-fives after 5 years of waiting!)
high-five back to ya!
It’s Ghastly! Go Pikachu! Use Thundershock!
I hate you, Ash.
Man, I love this log thing. It adds on the chilling effect.
Also, Readman scared the shit out of me with his first post for some reason.
WHO WAS BARREL?!
