this is (not) a drill
EAS Scenarios, or Mock EAS, is a type of analog horror that uses emergency alert systems (generally televised) to tell a story about a fictional horrific event. Some examples include: SCP Realised (mock EASes based on the SCP Foundation); The Final Minutes' Zombie Plague, 2050 (futuristic international EASes), and The Tiangong Incident; V-DAY, the radio-based Absolute Zero, and a 1990s UK Black Hole broadcast. Also: don't look at the moon.

In these years, you are never able to sleep, developing an addiction to Ambien that you’ll still be fighting twenty years later. Your thoughts circle around and around and around and around, taunting you with your deepest anxieties, turning your own mind against itself. In your early twenties, you’ll be diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. But now, at fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, you take the thoughts at their word, experience them only as evidence that something is irrevocably broken within you. from The Protagonist Is Never in Control [CW: abusive relationships, dysfunctional families, gaslighting]
