Dirt Napp – Archive Entry 007 "The Red Floor"

The Red Floor

The first investigator who opened the Dirt Napp archive thought the images were staged.

Old ruins. Collapsed stone corridors. Broken churches where sunlight barely reached the floor.

At first glance they looked like nothing more than abandoned places.

But the deeper you looked into the photographs, the more one detail refused to make sense.

The floors were covered in blood.

In some images the red pools stretched across entire rooms.

Bright against the cold grey stone.

In others the blood appeared to trail slowly through doorways, disappearing into dark hallways that the camera never followed.

There were no bodies.

No signs of struggle.

Just the stains.

Fresh.

One photograph in particular became the focus of the investigation.

A cathedral ruin somewhere deep in the archive.

The roof had collapsed decades earlier, leaving only broken beams and scattered debris.

Yet in the center of the room sat a wide pool of dark red liquid spreading across the stone floor like a mirror.

Two figures appeared near the edge of it.

Small silhouettes walking slowly toward the center.

Who they were remains unknown.

Because the next photograph showed the room completely empty.

When investigators tried to locate the building, they discovered something strange.

The structure had been demolished nearly fifteen years earlier.

There was no cathedral.

No ruins.

No floor where the blood could have pooled.

Just an empty lot where the building used to stand.

The deeper they searched through Dirt Napp’s files, the more locations like this appeared.

Places that should no longer exist.

Rooms that had already been destroyed.

Yet Dirt Napp had photographs taken inside them.

And in every image the same detail appeared somewhere in the frame.

Blood.

Always fresh.

Always new.

No one knows what Dirt Napp discovered while documenting these locations.

But some investigators believe the photographs were never meant to capture abandoned buildings.

They were meant to capture something that happens after the building is forgotten.

Something that only appears when no one is watching.
