The Null Desert Soundfile

November 7th, 4:47 PMHello, my name is Mike, and I'm a digital researcher. This is my diary log of my studies in my newest discovery. It seems to be a special kind of sound file. I got it from a spam in my mailbox, I even wonder why I bothered with checking it. The email was entitled "truth.wav", just like this, and by a email composed by strange characters, which I couldn't copy or paste it. I downloaded the enclosed file, "thenulldesert.mp3". I found weird, it didn't match with the title of the email. November 7th, 4:51 PMThe file finally finished downloading. I scanned with my antivirus and some other security programs, no trojans were found. But strange though, even without detecting threats, every program started to glitch out: some of them closed by theirselves, one of them crashed, and two of them became glitchy with strange characters and layout malfunctions. I decided to put that file in a different computer, which I use for virus/glitch files researches. November 7th, 4:59 PMAnd done. My good, old, and pretty beaten up computer for virus research. I inserted the flash drive, and copied the file to the system. It was a music file, with exactly 8 minutes and 21 seconds of lenght. I decided to listen to it first using Windows Media Player, and then decrypt it using different programs. When I started to listen to it, I felt somewhat anxious and unsafe. The first 5 seconds were a faint, nearly soundless static. Then, the actual "song" came up. It was so weird. It was some sort of song, reversed, filled with random effects, and then saved in low quality. But still... I felt so... Strange... November 7th, 10:10 PMMy mental torture is finally over, and now I open the file using a Hex Editor. What I saw made no sense. The hexadecimal and binary structure were from a plain corrupted file, every data set of that file was made of completely random bytes that weren't making any kind of readable info. It shouldn't work. But I fully listened to it... Windows Media Player was suposed to give me an error message. There's something wrong here. November 7th, 10:21 PMI'm taking a break. My head hurts. More than the usual. I guess the mindfuck of that song was bigger than I imagined. But I still feel unsafe... Like if someone was watching me... November 7th, 11:45 PMBack to work. Now I decided to decrypt the file into separed data banks to see if something was missing. I couldn't find anything, just more scrambled data. Maybe I'm skipping something. November 7th, 11:01 PMNow I got it. At the last 34 seconds of the video, I could hear really faint bippery sounds, like a kind of 8-bit song. I quickly opened my radio message translator, and placed that exact part of the music there. Something formed beyond my eyes, something that my mind never would forget... November 7th, 11:05 PMThe decrypted sound formed a 444x444 sized, grayscale photo. It was from a young girl, not older than 7. She had no eyes, just a pair of black holes in her face. Below her left nostril, a cavity that connected that nostril with the upper lip. Those holes were bleeding. The background seemed to be a dark basement, with a pair of blank glimmering white eyes in the upper right conner, looking at her... Even without her eyes, I could feel her expression of major horror, sadness, and extreme pain. I stared at that photo for good 5 minutes, motionless, feeling a cold pain inside the chest. What called my attention was her clothing. It was plain white, but there was a really long binary code: "01011001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01100101 01111001 01100101 01110011 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101111 01110000 01100101 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101100 01100100 00100000 01110100 01110010 01110101 01110100 01101000 00101110". November 7th, 11:43 PMIt took a while, but I translated the meaning of the code: "Your eyes will open to the cold truth.". What does that mean? What kind of message was that strange music trying to pass me? I was feeling more and more anxious and unsafe. But I was also tired. Decided to sleep. November 8th, 3:30 AMI can't sleep. Just can't. That song echoes inside my mind, bringing me fear. The image of that girl is still unsettling me. I feel like something is after me. November 10th, 11:30 AMComing back from work. I guess I'm going insane. Everywhere I go I see people with eyes bleeding. Also, everything seems to be losing colors. I'm scared, still feeling followed by something... November 10th, 10:11 PM...the file is gone. Every copy I made, and every program that was used with it... Everything disappeared from both computers and the flash card... November 11th, 4:11 AMAnother sleepless night. I still hear that thing in my head... Someone, please... Make it stop... Now I hear moans inside my head... Moans of pain and despair... Echoing for help... November 22th, 8:51 AMI can't take this anymore, nothing has colors, everyone I see has bloody eyes, and I can't hear anything but that song, and now, I can understand that message so clearly... The world is fake... Our eyes can't see the real trut- ''That was the last entry in Mike's diary, before his body was found with a huge stab on the back of his head. The murderer couldn't be found, but a witness declared that a young girl was seen running away from his house with a sharp object at her hands.'' thumb|300px|left
