Found Footage HMTAA 920507 📼.srt
I almost didn’t upload this one. After what happened last week - the video going missing and the URL business (see the comments last week from Latent Moths and tromboneknuckles). It's had me edgy. I even blew up at Latent Moths on Monday and I still feel awful about it.
This video is just gravy on top of the nightmare sundae. I might just stop this all - I’m pretty sure I’m beginning to lose my grip. These tapes are real and solid, I’m holding them in my hands. I can feel the plastic, see the magnetic tape. But they’re not real and solid because… these things didn’t happen.
The United States won the American Revolution. The Constitution was ratified in 1789. We’re an independent republic, right?
If this much can change - if the ground under me is so unstable? If tomorrow I could wake up in the Queen’s America? If what happened in the past isn’t real and solid, what is?
The slip case was even more befuddling. Inside with this tape was a sheet of legal pad paper. It’s dates. Just a giant list of dates. I’m so confused. I feel unmoored. Like I’m floating adrift in a sea of… something? This nagging feeling I’m wrong? Or the world is wrong?

Transcript: Her Majesty’s Temporal Anomaly Authority in Philadelphia, Eastern Colonial Syndicate has issued a notice for the following areas: Western Penn’s Woods and Baltimorian Frontier Region. On May 7th, historians at a regional HMTAA research center uncovered documentary evidence of resettlement of refugees from the future in timezones upstream from our current era. These alterations in our chronological past may create unexpectedly changing causal relationships, including unstable architecture, shifting infrastructure, or unpredictable technological innovations. Residents should avoid entering buildings taller than a single story, as structure height may vary due to newly introduced alterations in design prior to construction. If driving, pull off the motorway to wait for unstable or fluctuating rights of way to normalize. Avoid operation of aeroplanes, airships, or ornithopters as temporal instability may increase their likelihood of uninvention and invalidation. Await further notice from authorities before proceeding. Do not attempt to operate complex machinery patented on or before 22 June 1911. Tune all available electronics to local broadcasters for further instructions and updates. Do not rely solely on a single broadcast technology for notification.
