29,000,000,000

I have been founding various abandoned tapes over the past 2 decades. Whether it short or long, old or new, i am impressed with the outcome of how they come out. I was born to a family who also find various stuff lying around or buried underneath places and I helped continue there legacy. Together, me, my brother and our friends make up a team of people who aim to find and restore any tapes we find and restore them to there former glory…
…however, there was one tape we found, and it was one none of us would ever forget. My make is Michael, and this is my story.
==Discovery==
It was May 28, 2009, we were walking on a forgotten beach in hopes of finding another tape that could be hidden. Back in the past, most of the tapes we've found belonged here and it was our favourite place to explore. As we pulled our metal detector's out, we found a metal box buried in the ground. When we dug it up and opened it, we found a tape with a note reading "29,000,000,000" on it. Interested, we took it back home to restore it to its former glory. However, it took us over a month to restore it which is unusual since the previous tapes we've restored took less than a month. Eventually it was fully ready on July 9 of that year and together we put the tape through our tape player and boy, what we saw was a whole different thing.
==Tape 29,000,000,000==
The tape began with a man walking through a dark hallway alone and anxious. He appeared to be breathing a lot by the looks of it and at various times, turned on his torch to see if there’s anybody around. After 2 minutes of walking, he stumbles upon a door with the number "29,000,000,000" on it and "HELPMEIAMINHELL" at the bottom. Curious but scared, and with nowhere else to go, the man opens the door which leads him into a dark room with various drawings and lettering ranging from "RUNRUNRUNRUNRUN", "IMCRYINGHELPME", "FEARME", "HELPME", "STOPME", "WATCHME" and finally "29BILLIONISNEAR".
After a few seconds of standing, the text suddenly disappears for a split second and the room starts to brighten up into a pure pink room. He looked behind and noticed that the door was gone causing the man to panic screaming out "I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming, I'M DREAMING, WAKE UP, THIS AIN'T HAPPENING!" However the man hears a small whisper behind him. He turns around to see a girl wearing pink clothing covering her whole body along with a pink top hat and a black bow tie. Her skin was pure white and has very thin and creepy eyes with an open smile and pink cheeks attached to her mouth. The girl, who was sitting down whispered "Why did you do this? You shouldn’t have done that. This is all your fault. YOU MUST PAY! I am in hell. Get me out now! Help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help me, help, help me, help me, help, help, help, help, help me, help me, help me, help me."thumb|That dreadful jumpscare soundHearing the girl saying all of that made the man real scared and wanted to escape. But as he was about to run, he noticed that his legs were stuck whilst the girl continued to speak whilst walking closer to him. Eventually after she stopped talking and walking close to the man, she proceeds to jumpscare the man whilst oversizing her cheeks, bloating her head right to the camera and changing colors. After it all ends, it cuts back to her and the room for half a second before the tape finally ends.
==Aftermath==
After that dreadful tape, me and our team could not believe what we just saw, nor how it was even caught on it anyway. We had massive debates on what to do with it before eventually choosing to store it in my bedroom never to be used again. Since that dreadful day i've had various nightmares about it. I often dreamed about me being the man in that very tape and getting attacked by the girl. I once had a dream where the girl came into my room and did that dreadful jumpscare towards me. I could not get it off my mind, i really couldn’t.
3 years later, a guy came towards our door questioning if I and my team found the tape to which I answered yes. The man introduced himself as Carl who explained that his older brother Gavin was the man seen in the tape. According to Carl, Gavin was an expert as exploring spooky places without fear but when he was exploring the place he was at in that tape, he had massive chills and fears about it and wished he would go home. Carl went on to explain that the girl, known as 29,000,000,000 had melted Gavin body and thrown him out of the room along with the camera used to recording the tape we viewed that was still perfectly fine.
Carl explain "I kept the tape for my self until it was eventually lost at some point and thought that it wouldn’t be seen again afterwards. But then I soon realised that you guys had it. So I came over to check and ask in case that was true". Of course, it was true. I explained to Carl that the tape was in my room stored somewhere in case he wanted to get it for himself. He thanked me but said that he'd pass and let me keep it for himself. I thanked him as we both waved goodbye and I shut the front door of my house.
In later years, I soon grew out of my fears of that tape and still went on to find various others with my team. However, i still had bad memories and a cold feeling about it.
