WTTQ Midnight Broadcast Friday the 13th Special

 “Under a cracked moon, the playlist glitches, and the Retreat holds its breath.”

Tonight’s Headline: “Nothing Technically Went Wrong… and Yet Everything Did.”

Friday the 13th at the Retreat began like any other: birdsong, espresso, a suspicious lack of messages from Tubby.
But then…

GLITCH REPORTS

This is not normal...

The jukebox refused to play anything but the cursed B-side of “Cruel to Be Kind,” the one with reversed vocals and a whisper at 3:13 saying “Turn around.”
The Retreat's gallery briefly rearranged itself. Scott’s painting blinked. Twice.
Erma’s shroom garden started glowing in Morse. Translation pending.

WITNESS STATEMENTS

Odin claims he saw a ghost with DJ credentials and a very sharp jawline.
Soni says she never trusted Friday the 13th or popcorn.
Anjelikka? She was sketching moths with human teeth.

Hello? Who is this?

CALL-IN CONFESSION

A scrambled voice phoned in:
“I think I went on a 10-minute date with a cursed reflection. He asked me what my soul tasted like.”
Anonymous, via payphone near the old train platform.

LATE UPDATE: TRAIN SPOTTED

Engine 229 reportedly appeared in the woods again.
Lights on. No conductor.
One window shows someone in a silver suit sipping espresso.
Could be ⁂¤π∴.
Could be X.
Could be you.

STAY SAFE, RETREATERS
Carry salt.
Don’t make eye contact with your reflection after 3AM.
And if anyone asks for your full name and a secret memory, lie.
We’ll be back after the static clears.
