Bloodandsoil 14/1/78.xml

It was a rainy september morning, and I was driving through the outskirts of Townsville when I found a garage sale outside an old run-down house. The old man there was selling many strange items, such as a pickelhaube with a strange symbol on the front plate, a large framed portrait of a suited man pointing charismatically at the camera, and a signed copy of "My Years as Prime Minister" by Jean Chrétien. Among these items was an old floppy disk, with "WIKI VERSION '78" written haphazardly on the label. The disk drew my eye, and brought it off the strange man. As I drove off, I couldn't help but feel that something was off, as if the floppy has some sort of forbidden knowledge on it. I ignored this feeling, passing it off as superstition.
When I got home, I dusted off my old USB floppy disk drive and put in the disk. I was greeted with an XML file named "bloodandsoil_14/1/78". Just before I opened it however, a blackout struck my dingy apartment. Before I could light any candles, the lights came back on as if nothing had happened. Passing it off as nothing, I opened the file. I was greeted with what appeared to be an old version of mediawiki, with large letters reading "Welcome to Tripartite Wiki!" on what appeared to be the main page of some sort of wiki. The introductory blurb explained that tripartite was an alternate history project set 2042 years in the future in a world where Greenland, Australia, and Germany where the dominant world superpowers. The wiki detailed the rise and fall of some sort of intergalactic empire based in Cascadia, a fragmented Australia with a higher population and a terraformed outback, and many other bizarre and unrealistic things. I lost interest quickly and went to bed.
When I woke up the next day, I went onto my computer only to find that every web page I attempted to visit redirected me to the tripartite wiki. Finding it weird, I restarted my computer only to find the problem persisting. Thinking it may have been caused by the XML file, I attempted to eject the floppy disk, though for some reason it was jammed. no matter how hard I tried, I could not get it to come out, as if some kind of supernatural force was keeping me from taking the disk out. Out of options, I grabbed my axe and attempted to destroy the disk drive. Though the second contact was made, a large burst of energy launched me across my apartment. At this point I was freaked out. I attempted to unplug my computer, but it remained on, despite it being completely disconnected from the wall. I attempted disassembling the computer itself, though the case was sealed shut. Out of options, I decided to drop my computer out of the window. Though just before I dropped it, I was blasted across the room again and met with a ghostly figure hovering in the middle of my room. An overwhelming stench reminiscent of wallpaper paint and mowed lawn. Before I could say anything, the apparition began to cry baked beans as he screeched "ow my dick". My entire apartment was flooded with beans. The last thing I saw before I choked to death on cheep beans was the figure sat at my computer writing this.
