Y’all, I need help solving this case of a mystery Google doc. I can’t for the life of me figure out whose story this is that is being forcibly added to my docs page.

Yesterday it appeared out of thin air. No name, nothing. It was created in August, but that is way before I started accepting anything from people for the Wicked Writing contest. It is a 9 page long sci-fi horror story called “The Suff”.

So yesterday, I deleted/removed it.

It came back today on its own. I went to go see if I could bring it back myself to solve the mystery. When I opened my google docs, there it was, front and center like I’d never deleted it.

Like it was expecting me.

I’m telling you, I have wasted so much time today trying to figure out who’s story this is. I scoured the settings, multiple times. I have contacted Google help. I’ve looked at forums. Nothing helps me decipher who’s document this is.

My leading theory is that when someone shared their document with me for the contest, it also opened up their drive to share other stuff they have.

Am I being haunted by a document? Am I sleep writing? Is “The Suff” short for suffering? Does it want me to suffer?

BECAUSE I AM.
