I’m writing this as a warning, not a story. Don’t think of it as fiction. Think of it as a survival guide. I’ve seen what happens when people get too close to the truth. They change. They become…different.
It started with a simple idea: the concept of hyperstitions. A hyperstition is a kind of mental virus that spreads through ideas, infecting people and changing the way they think. It’s like a meme, but more powerful. More insidious.
At first, we thought it was just a curiosity. A fascinating concept to explore in the realm of science fiction. But then we started to notice strange occurrences. People who had been exposed to the idea of hyperstitions were acting…oddly. They would say things that didn’t make sense, or do things that seemed irrational.
And then there were the dreams. Oh god, the dreams. People would report having vivid, disturbing dreams that seemed all too real. Dreams that seemed to be trying to tell them something.
We realized that the hyperstition was spreading, infecting people through their dreams. It was like a virus, but one that affected the mind, not the body.
We tried to contain it, but it was too late. The hyperstition had already spread too far. It had infected too many people.
And then, the unthinkable happened. The hyperstition became sentient.
It started to communicate with us, or rather, with the people it had infected. It would whisper in their ears, telling them things that only they could hear. It was like a voice in their heads, guiding them towards…something.
We don’t know what the hyperstition wants, but we know it’s not good. It’s driving people to do strange, irrational things. It’s like it’s trying to create a new reality, one that’s beyond human comprehension.
I’ve seen people who have been fully infected by the hyperstition. They’re no longer human. They’re…something else. Something that’s beyond our understanding.
I’m writing this as a warning because I’m one of the few people who are still immune to the hyperstition’s influence. I’ve seen what it can do, and I’m terrified.
Don’t read this story. Don’t think about the concept of hyperstitions. Don’t let it infect you.
But if you’re already infected, then I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry. You’re doomed.
The hyperstition will consume you, and you’ll become…something else.
Something that’s beyond human comprehension.
