Week Ahead

* Fire Danger

"**Week Ahead**" is the eleventh episode of the analog horror series Eventide Media Center, created by Aiden Chick. It is the final episode of Library 1 (Season 1). As with the other episodes, the setting is located in the state of Massachusetts, USA, and depicts a town's unusual tradition, known as "Triday."

## Synopsis

Similarly to "Oceanview Forecast," this episode is a recording of early-morning channel broadcasts for the town of New Trilight, Massachusetts. The recordings took place from September 21, 1997, to September 24, 1997. Each broadcast gives a schedule of upcoming events for the week, including the opening of a clothing store on the 21st, and a "Monday Festival" happening on the 22nd, among other events. The most prominent of these are given short descriptions and times, and a picture is provided of the event.

However, on the date of the 23rd, the regular day of the week (Tuesday) is replaced by the word "Triday," and the calendar has been cleared of all events for the entire week. Triday is stated to last from midnight to six in the morning, with an "all clear" intended to be given by 3 PM. All residents of the town are told to stay in bed, and to eliminate everything in their house boasting the number 3.

The broadcast shows footage of a cluster of six purple, glowing objects in the sky, then cuts to the interior of a person's home. The cupboards under the kitchen sink rattle and swing open. From under the sink emerges a glowing, seemingly living octahedron, emitting the same violet light from the footage of the cluster in the sky. The octahedron puts forth violet tendrils of light, similar to lightning, that spread throughout the house, and ultimately locate a number "3" on a clock. The light from the being begins to intensify as the door of the resident's bedroom also opens, the violet emission creeping in before the broadcast cuts, citing a "temporal interruption" at the broadcast station.

The broadcast then resumes, stating that the Triday Events are now over, and that their regular programming will continue the next day, *Tuesday*, September 24, 1997 (skipping an entire day as though it did not exist).

The episode then ends with the Eventide Media Center credits.

## "Bulletin"

One day after the upload of "Week Ahead," the official Twitter posted this image of New Trilight in 1983, on another "Triday." Presumably, the octahedron entities are attacking the town, possibly after someone had neglected to remove all "3"s from their home.

The dates of this image and the episode may imply that Tridays occur about every 14 years.

## Trivia

* It is unusual that the town has a fixation with the number 3, when this number is considered provoking for the Triday entities.
* The Triday entites appear to travel in groups of three when together.
