Lost THX "Tex" Trailer: Tex vs. J---s

It was a hot spring morning, just like a few days ago. I had the idea to go to a local flea market near the downtown area just to go and look around and see if I could find anything interesting. Of course, I found some vintage things and marked down used electronics and all of those things you find for a dollar. It was until I stumbled upon a stand that had pirated DVDs and burnt discs with movies and series when I found something… unique.

It was a black DVD box with a paper sheet in the clear window that had written “THX Logo Test, Je\_\_\_ \_\_\_ Test “. That last part was torn, almost like sliced with something sharp. I didn’t give it a lot of thought and just assumed that it got damaged by a kid or on the transport. The way the salesman saw me with interest on that black case was almost as if it was made for me and offered to gift it to me, but I offered some money for it.

I also got some more stuff, like some action figures, spare parts for repairs, a handmade fabric rose and some errands on the way home. The curiosity about what was saved in such a mysterious case was almost killing me, so I sped at a reasonable speed to my house and turn on an old DVD player my father brought some years ago.

It was a Friday, so I had no homework, or anything left to do, so I could finally discover the secrets of the enigmatic DVD labeled as a THX test.

The DVD player opened up and I put the disc in the tray. The player couldn’t read the disc at first, but it unexpectedly read it anyways. I was left weirded by this but maybe it was just some sort of system or something, I am no engineer. What was displayed after the eigengrau screen was quite bizarre and can only describe it as a demo reel for 3D animation.

It opened with a fading white text stating “The following footage is property of THX inc. and D----y P---r. The viewing of this footage is not prohibited, but not meant to be viewed by the general public. If found, please return it to the main THX HQ or to your local authorities.” Just as the text faded out, I can swear that I saw two red dots with a faint glow behind the text, almost like eyes.

Then, the THX logo faded in with its iconic hmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM sound in a sky-blue background. It was until then that something came into screen, a robot character who seemed to mimic the appearance of a stereotypical overweight technician. It had a red cap, some sort of jetpack on its back and wheels for feet. It was Tex, some sort of mascot made for THX as a brand.

Tex just slide from one side of the screen to the other, with the camera following him out of frame. What happened next was rather out of place, because what was on the other side was Jesus. Yes, THE Jesus Christ, crucified with running blood from the sores in his hand and feet. Tex then just disappeared from screen, leaving the screen with just Jesus in the middle, screaming from pain and screaming “Father, forgive him, spare him from eternal damnation, for he has no idea what he is doing.” Tex then came on screen once more, standing in front of the agonizing body of who was once the son of God.

Text came on screen, hovering over Tex’s face. The text read something like “Worry not, I shall silence this imposter and light up the true way to salvation.” Tex then teleported to a side of the cross where Jesus stood and took out a spear and stabbed Jesus in the ribs, going straight to his heart and lungs, killing him slowly but painfully.

Jesus screamed with what little air was left on his lungs, only for Tex to start levitating to grab Jesus’ head and violently ripping it from his body. It was cartoony bloody, but the way the blood began to flow on the floor was hyper realistic and made me feel sick. Tex slowly turned his head to the camera with the sound of bending metal and breaking wires, slowly getting closer and closer to the screen.

He then reached the screen, standing still. It was there that I realized a faint red glow coming from under his cap, the same glow that was on the first text screen. His face deformed into a twisted smile with black liquid pouring from his now bent and torn smile, with his metallic mustache stained with the blood of who once was the son of God.

Then out of nowhere Tex pulled out a semi-automatic mp5 triple round double barrel ak48 assault rifle with capacity for over 567432 rounds and a 87 mm calibers mag and began shooting the withering body of Jesus while hyper realistic gunshots sound were playing in a hyper realistic way, with hyper realistic blood sprouting everywhere around Jesus’ body. Tex turned around to look at the screen.

It was then that he talked, he talked to me. “You were not meant to see this. My real form. Now you will perish to the wrath of Tex the Exe.” I sat there, frozen in fear of what I had just seen. An idea came to me, unplugging the player form the current or trying to take the DVD out and hoping that will stop this madness.

I quickly rushed to the DVD player to eject the disc, but it was blazing hot, and the tray was stuck. I tried to get out of the room, but then I heard Tex talk once more. “Do not bother in running, do not bother hiding, do not bother to try and get rid of me, you will make me angry, and I will find you. For I know every move you will make, every sound you will take, every mistake you will make, Yourna Meh, you wouldn’t want for M----m to get hurt, don’t you?”

How did he know that, how did Tex knew my name, Yourna, how did he knew about my partner M----m?. This had to be a twisted joke, some edgy joke made by a 12-year-old on 4 Chan or SDLG or even Legion Holk, but it didn’t made sense to me. I said, hoping that it was all a joke, “How did you know my name, how did you know about M----m? How do you know everything?”

Tex replied to me, “I know everything, always have known, always will know, because for you,

I

AM

GOD!”

Tex the .exe began laughing at me, for I was a fool for not having realized it, sooner. Tex was a god, Tex was my god, Tex is God. The room filled the smell of burn plastic and overcharged batteries, the player had ceased working and shot down in that instant. I turned to the screen, there was a -No Signal- sign, the HDMI had melted, disc was stuck, player was rendered useless.

I was in total shock, fear, anguish, I wanted to cry since I had never experienced anything like that before. I wanted to cry for M----m, for my family, for everyone. It began as a pacific trip to downtown, ended in a stressful death threat for me and my loved ones. I screamed in fear, mother and brother came in running to my room, trying to make me calm down. But all I could hear was Jesus screaming, Tex the exe’s voice laughing and my own cries.

I could sleep that night, every time I closed my eyes, images of Tex coming out of the screen came to me, like a vision of some sort. Eventually, I fell into slumber, only to dream about Tex.exe mocking me with the bodies of a fake Jesus, Tippity from Turtle Pals Tapes and many others burning in the ground. I woke up in cold sweat and with shaky hands. My Phone rang, PokemonGHSSKantoTrainerBattle.mp3 sounded cus it was my ringtone. I picked up the call, only for me to hear a familiar voice on the other side.

“The gaze of a god is left by none, you can run but can’t hide, for Texy Exy will come in a tide.”
