AUGUST 13, 2026

BEGIN REPORT:

INITIAL REPORTS HAVE PROVEN TRUE. THREAT LEVEL ALPHA. REPEAT, THREAT LEVEL ALPHA.

CMMDR [REDACTED] REQUIRED IMMEDIATE NOTICE IF ALPHA-LEVEL EVENT WAS DETECTED. INITIAL REPORT WAS DELAYED DUE TO [REDACTED] INTERFERENCE FROM OCCULT FORCES. IMMEDIATE [REDACTED] MILITARY RESPONSE IMPERATIVE.

THREAT LEVEL ALPHA.

END REPORT.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE FROM AGENT LANG TO CMMDR [REDACTED]:

[REDACTED], it’s worse than we’d thought possible. They’re coming in waves. The foot soldiers were just the beginning. Some of the [REDACTED] I’ve seen were monstrous beyond imagining. I even glimpsed the Beast through the smoke and fumes.

Wyoming has fallen. Montana and Colorado are next. Eventually, their forces will spread across the entire country if [REDACTED]. Canada and Mexico will not be far behind. You must use nuclear force. There is no other option. Send these fuckers back to hell.

God be with us,

Lang

END COMMUNICATION

Instructions

Leg 19 – The Government Document Leg: Write a microfiction as a redacted bureaucratic document.

An incident report, a classified govt file, containment protocols, whatever makes stuff look like paperwork. The point is: something happened. Was it a cosmic flesh event? Radioactive sludge? An ecocide? Something more political? Fine.

You can attach photographic evidence. Use redactions if you want, or numbered clauses.

Link to the remaining prompts for this week.
