| “ | When you've spent six hours staring into the blind crimson eyes of a rotting demon, unable to blink your eyes for fear that it will hear the air your lashes move—when you've seen what it's seen, the worlds it has walked reflected in hellish red, you'll understand. | „ |
| ~ The protagonist describing his experience dealing with the entity. |
The unnamed entity, sometimes referred to as the Executioner is the main antagonist of the 2018 Matt Dymerski Creepypasta An Empty Prison.
It is a malevolent entity that is said to reside under the ground at the meeting of the Red and Pembina rivers in North Dakota, and hibernate and reawaken with the changing of the seasons. When it awakens, it searches around for people's souls to consume. On some ocassions, the entity appears to enter the Pembina Prison at random, as the prison was built at the intersection of the rivers, which leads to many of its inmates to go insane when they spot it, with several counts of the inmates dropping dead when it enters their cages.
Due to the prescene of the entity, inmates in the prison had to be transferred one by one to avoid getting killed until the prison is left with three inmates, which includes the main protagonist, trapped within the prison walls.
Appearance[]
Even though the entity is referred to as an "it", it is described to take on the appearance of a rotting, naked malnourished woman with glowing crimson blind eyes that radiate red light onto its surroundings. The light is so powerful that it is easily able to radiate an entire floor of the prison. The protagonist also describes that it appears to have the ability to reflect the other worlds that it has traveled in its eyes, confirming the being to be otherworldy. One seeing the creature's visions seems to be enough to drive them to madness.
Behavior[]
The entity appears to wander around its territory aimlessly, sometimes stopping abruptly and turning towards a different direction entirely, or will sometimes randomly run across, which some had described as sounding like two or three people walking concurrently. This all likely stems from the fact that the entity is blind, only being able to sense its prey through its sensitive hearing. It will ocassionally travel into spaces where it detects humans residing (whilst walking through solid matter), and claw around the surrounding area to look for them if they stay quiet.
Biography[]
Past[]
Not much is known about the entity's past, though the protagonist of the story seems to try to rationalize the creature's existence through a prison guard, a figment of his imagination, telling him of a folktale surrounding two priests, Fathers Norbert Provencher and Severe Dumoulin, that inhabited the land before the prison was built.
When they camped at the intersection between the Red and Pembina rivers, the entity had come up and attempted to steal Provencher's life, though the two men had made a deal with her to split the remaining lives that Severe had between him and Provencher. The two men had died 35 years later, with Severe dying a month and twenty days later than Provencer after the latter gave the former that may days as a gift. The both of them had coincidentally died on the exact year that the prison was built on, 1853.
Another folktale, told by Chippewa natives also apparently warns of the dangers of sleeping around the area at night due to the entity residing there underground, and awakening with the changing of the seasons.
An Empty Prison[]
The first account of the entity attacking the prison is first described by the narrator roughly three weeks after he got admited in. At first unaware of the entity, he initially chalked up the screaming occouring on the first floor to be a result of the more feral prisoners going crazy, though he begins to feel somewhat unnerved when he is told that the guards on the first floor have all gone missing, with no one letting him or his cellmates out for meals or for yardwork, with people on the second floor hearing the sound of shuffling footsteps walking across the bottom floor. One of the other guards explains to the protagonist, Donte and Will that all of the first floor had been transferred to another jail following the incident.
Two nights after the incident had occured, people on the second floor had begun screaming, with guards letting the inmates out to, with the narrator pointing out how several of those who were on the second floor had run out and begged for help. Following the incident, Kellen asks what had happened, finding open gates on the second floor, and promises to check with corporate. Donte then desperately asks Kellen to discover what is making the footsteps and causing all of the prisoners to leave. Grasping onto his uniform, Donte warns Kellen to not go down onto the second floor by himself without anyone with him.
Half-way into the protagonist's sentence, he wakes up in the middle of the night with all of the inmates on the third floor screaming in terror. Will offered a guard $500 to come back to have them tell back what the inmates were saying. When Donte listened intently to the chaos, the protagonist writes down all of the words that he thought he heard, including "Jesus Christ", "killing him", "God", "Let us out", and "coming this way".
