The Holders series are several short stories about 538 objects which, if brought together, will cause the The End of the World as We Know It. There were originally 2538 objects, but 2000 of them were lost.Each object is protected by a Holder, who presents a series of trials to anyone who seeks its object. Failing on any of these trials, no matter how insignificant your failure was, earns you a Fate Worse than Death.note Depending on your perspective, succeeding may earn you a Fate Worse than Death.Each of the stories details the exact sequence of steps you need to retrieve one of the objects. Most of them start with you going to a specific kind of place (often a "mental institution or halfway house") and asking to speak to the Holder of the object you want. You are then guided to a hidden section of the building, where after several trials you will meet the Holder, who will only answer one question (which is different for each Holder).Originally from the Imageboards, can be found at several places on the Internet, one of them being the now-defunct theholders.org. Another version, and the one many saw due to it being reported on Snopes, is this one, which also contains equally insane Nightmare Fuel "Easter eggs". | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| The Holders Series / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The first Holders story implies that all 538 Holders and their Objects are identical, hence the reason they can be accessed from any asylum or halfway house: the Holders are distributed throughout the world, and there's always one nearby. However, this was not explicitly stated, and subsequent stories, written by different authors, continued on the premise that all the Holders and Objects were different and operated by different rules. | |

Enemy to All Living Things | |
| The Holders Series / int_2e7d6711 | comment |
Enemy to All Living Things: Edo Edi Essum is described as a "living black hole". He absorbs the life of anything that he is near, and his voice causes all who hear it to die screaming in agony as they become a part of him for all of eternity. Once he devours the entire universe, he will devour himself. Also, he is trying to bring all of the Objects together. | |

OnceAnEpisode | |
| The Holders Series / int_37499c8 | comment |
Once an Episode: The "In any city, in any country" line (usually with "any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself to", but with other locations as well), asking the receptionist (or somebody else, even the thin air) to "See the Holder of X", enter a place with Alien Geometries, go through a Luck-Based Mission (or one where Only the Worthy May Pass), risk A Fate Worse Than Death if anything goes wrong (and sometimes even if you "succeed"), and finding the Holder of the Object you seek, who only responds to one question (saying anything other than the exact question either gets no response, or a Fate Worse than Death), and gives a monologue detailing everything there is to know about the Object in question, most likely driving all but the strongest minds to madness when they hear it. Also ends with the words "That X is Object # of 538", along with an ominous ending line. Some of the ending lines make it plainly obvious that you don't actually want to even get that object, since they have horrible side-effects or weird curses. | |

Vengeful Vending Machine | |
| The Holders Series / int_3bf7904f | comment |
Vengeful Vending Machine: To get to the Holder of the Sun, you need to go to the vending machine (the worker at the front desk will have gotten a phone call immediately after you ask to see him) and press the button for the first drink displayed. The unmarked can you get will be hot to the touch, and the liquid will be searingly hot- if you drink enough to loose consciousness before the worker finishes his phone call, you can go the hard part of the challenge, and probably suffer a horrible fate. At least you didn't have to insert any money. | |

And Now for Someone Completely Different | |
| The Holders Series / int_7bf14666 | comment |
And Now for Someone Completely Different: Most of the stories are written as instructions, as if given to the reader by a Mysterious Benefactor. However, this story takes the perspective of one of the receptionists for the Holders. The story plays with the usual Once an Episode events of the other stories: the Seekers the character sees that demand for the Holder of Denial are impatient, screaming at her until she sends them through the door (likely because that's what the instructions said to do in this case), and are thrown off when she puts her foot down, and demands they ask her politely (since THAT part wasn't in the instructions). Compared to the other receptionists (who are inferred to be demons in the guise of humans, or at least people that know about the Objects, Holders and Seekers), the character is a Naïve Everygirl who doesn't know what happens to the Seekers she sends through the door. And when one comes back out, Object in tow, she's the one to "Ask only one question" at the end of the adventure, and it's the Seeker, not the Holder, to give a madness-inducing monologue of all the horrors the quest for the object entails. A huge Tear Jerker, (especially when this Seeker tells in grisly detail the fate of all the other Seekers before him, and made the character realize she unwittingly condemned them all to A Fate Worse Than Death), and also holds a nasty bit of Fridge Horror - if somebody has grabbed an Object before you, is there ANY hope of escaping the trials? | |

Fetch Quest | |
| The Holders Series / int_7e02bded | comment |
Fetch Quest: The trial of the Holder of Trade involves matching illegible hieroglyphics on an incredibly long shopping list to ones on items in the various stores inside a demonic shopping mall— many look nearly identical, and leaving a store without the proper items leads to (of course) your painful death and eternal torment. Did we mention that this has to be done while surrounded by horrifying monstrosities who will attack if you show any sign of unease or discomfort? Or that you have to do all this while physically dragging the Holder with you?! | |

Superpower Lottery: Played with- all of the objects are cursed and aren't supposed to give you face-on superpowers, but while some are utterly useless and mundane, others can be useful to the extent of what supernatural ability or knowledge you're granted by them. But whatever power they give is still probably not worth the hell you endured to get it. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| The Holders Series / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: A number of the trials may still result in your death (or worse) even if you follow them exactly. An example is the Holder of the End - if he decides to stop muttering, you might be able to get him to start up again. If not? Run and pray. May be a variation of Only the Worthy May Pass - some of the instructions imply that Seekers may be chosen by destiny, and so the "luck"-based missions may just depend solely on your chosen-ness rather than luck or skills. | |

Final-Exam Boss | |
| The Holders Series / int_c3e4b9fd | comment |
Final-Exam Boss: Taken to an extreme level with The Holder of the Journey: To start the test, you must tell the worker how you obtained each of your Objects. It's not so much a test of memory as it is a test of resolve, seeing as you'll remember every detail without flaw... the problem is more that it forces you to reflect on every atrocity you've inevitably committed to obtain the Objects before this one. It even outright says that unless you're a monster, you'll feel like your heart's been torn out once you finally finish. | |

Determinator: You must become this to collect all of the objects. Hell, even just collecting ONE object requires an excellent memory and probably some amazing concentration and physical skill. Managing to do it over 500 times is inhuman. Of course, by that time, you probably are literally inhuman. | |
