### Post:

Title is pretty self explanatory. i think the story was posted here. as a challenge. it's definitely told forum-style, the world outside a college dorm(?) is turning to white nothingness, and time is weird now. It was quite good, and i'd like to find it again.

>> Not really. Good story though, thanks.

>> It wasn't posted here, it was linked. Told almost entirely through forum posts. The workd broke in some way, time is looping(?) or somehow broken. And there's a white void outside the msin character's dorm.
