The Depth Below: Server Room 9
by L.K. Merrow
Beneath a building no one thinks about, in a server room no one visits, something has been listening.
Server Room 9 was designed to be invisible. Cold floors. Low light. The quiet hum of machines that never sleep. It exists to hold data, routes, signals-systems meant to serve and then disappear.
But some systems do not stay silent.
As technicians cycle in and out, as alerts flicker and vanish, a presence begins to assert itself-not through violence, but through patterns. Through repetition. Through knowing things it shouldn't know.
What lives below does not announce itself.
It observes.
It adapts.
It waits.
The Depth Below: Server Room 9 is a work of psychological and existential horror-an unsettling exploration of modern infrastructure, unseen systems, and the quiet terror of realizing something is watching from beneath the surface of the world.
Nothing explodes.
No one screams.
But once you notice it...
you won't be able to stop listening.
