I love “realization after the situation’s already passed” horror

Like you have a young family member who’s always talking about how there’s a creepy thing that looks not-human who messes with them at night, always tickling their feet and poking them with cold hands that are so thin and weirdly sharp they feel like knives, they don’t like it, they think it’s a game where if they make noise something bad happens

They’re worried about what happens when they eventually lose the game

You brush them off, of course you do, no one else has seen this thing, and there’s no evidence of it existing apart from your young relative’s first hand accounts, kids just have overactive imagination

One day you invite over a cute girl to spend the night, she hasn’t met any of your family yet, but that’s okay because none of them are going to be there tonight, everything goes great although you end up sleeping in different rooms, turns out she can only sleep on very firm beds and you need to practically be on a cloud to get some rest, but the next day, around noon when you finally wake up and daylight is streaming into every crevice, she glares at you over brunch

You ask what’s wrong and she looks at you like you should know before holding out her arm that’s scratched up to hell

She asks you why the hell you came into the room she was sleeping in and attacked her after making her laugh by tickling her last night

With sunlight pouring onto you from the windows trying to uncomfortably warm up your body, all you feel is ice cold dread

Yknow when you really think about it the concept of star-crossed lovers would do really well in a horror story

There's a contest out there, a very expensive contest that could win you a lot of money. It's referred to as the bunker, and it's been the reward and ruin of so many people.

Somewhere out there (Not too far from a major city) is a bunker, a real one from the cold war, meant to keep a community alive after a nuclear war. And inside that they built just that. A fake post nuclear community, dozens of people living as if there is only death and devastation above them.

The contest is to live there. Anyone there is part of the contest. The rules are you are not able to tell anyone that the bunker isn't real, that the world above isn't a nuclear hellscape, that there are people out there, the fiction must be maintained by everyone. And that if you leave, without telling anyone, you will be given money, the longer you stay, the more money they will give you.

It seems easy at first. The bunker is rough, but you aren't alone. People really do live like they're surviving the apocalypse, everything is in complete order to be self sustained, the bunker is cramped and tight but livable, and the only recourses you have are the things in your bunker that would have been brought before the war. And it really feels like it, and that's were the problem sets in.

Now, there are two people in the bunker who aren't contestants but actors. They're also the only people you're allowed to break character with. Those two being the chaplain and the doctor. However, there is a catch with them, if you try to tell them that this world isn't real, that the nuclear war isn't something that actually happened, they will tell you you're delusional. The chaplain and the doctor will do everything to convince you that believing this is a set, is a common delusion for those in the bunkers, that your mind is making things up to ignore the reality of the situation. And they'll show you proof, good proof, that the bunker is real, and that you probably haven't even been to the outside world.

And with the chaplain and doctor. And with everyone around you playing into the fiction. It becomes hard to still believe that the outside world is real. Nobody else expresses any belief in it to you, all your conversations with your friends down here operate under the idea that the bunker is real. You really do live as if the bunker is real. Society functions as if the bunker is real. And the doctor and chaplain make sure there is an explanation for any memories that would prove it false.

And slowly, you'll start to doubt. You'll begin to entertain the possibility that the bunker is real, that you'll die if you leave. And first it will just be a thought, but then over time it'll become more and more of a likelihood in your mind. You'll question its reality less and less as that becomes less and less of a framework to interact with people through. Perhaps even the idea that this is part of a contest will seem more then silly to you.

And that's how they break you. See, to get the money you have to walk out without any sort of protective gear. Wear even a gas mask as you leave and they won't give it to you. And you have to walk out to the surface. And to get the really big sums of money you have to be down there for awhile. And it's so impossible, to put aside all that doubt. To walk into what you were told was nuclear wasteland unprotected, believing 100% that everyone around you was knowingly lying about it.

Nobody has really won. Some leave too soon to earn any real prize. Some stay forever. Some leave with doubt, wearing protective gear. But nobody has won the big money yet. But you won't get fooled, you can keep yourself sane, I'm sure you will...
