Watch alone

"**watch alone**" is an unlisted YouTube video uploaded to the channel coffeeman123 on September 7, 2021. It features a shadow of a person giving a warning to Mark, The Cynical Critic.

## Transcript

The video starts with a black screen and a loud, repeating sound. The sound stops, and creepy distorted music can be heard. A human shadow appears with a blue light background. The person sits down and waves at the camera.

"Alright, listen very carefully, Mark. Before you continue watching this video, make absolutely sure that you are alone, and no one is listening, okay? Leave the house if you can, or put on loud music so it can't hear you. You understand?"

There is a brief glitch in the video, containing an image of a cruise ship; a clip from a Royal Caribbean commercial. (0:28)

"Just make sure they don't see you watching this video. I'm sorry I can't tell you who I am. This is the only way I can talk to you without them finding out. I know who you are, Mark, and I've been watching your videos, and I know what happened to your friend. I know you've been feeding that thing in the dark and it's been helping you make those videos. But it's- it is not your friend."

Another glitch in the video contains an image of a shirtless man; a clip from a Royal Caribbean commercial. (0:55)

"It- it will take everything from you, and the more you give it, the stronger it gets. If you still can, you need to get your family, and get as far away from that house as possible. This thing is dangerous. I- I don't- I don't know how many of them there are..."

Another glitch contains an image of a group of people looking happy, cheering; a clip from a Royal Caribbean commercial. (1:14)

"... or what they really want, but you can't trust anyone, Mark. Not even- not even the people you think are your friends. I- I don't know if you've planted the spore yet, but if you haven't that means you still have time."

Another glitch contains one frame of the image before of a shirtless man, as well as an image of a woman getting on a zip-line; both clips from a Royal Caribbean commercial. (1:27)

"So whatever it promises you, it's a lie. I'm sorry. I wish I could do more..."

The person pauses, hears a sound, and looks to the right.

"... but, I- I can't even leave my own house any more. I don't even- I don't ev- I didn't want any of this to happen.

Another glitch contain the end card from a Royal Caribbean commercial.

"I just- I just wanted to help you."

The person hears another creak and looks to the right again.

"Please be careful. I'm sorry."

The person quickly stands up and turns off the camera.
