{{quote|''... even now I can hear the footsteps of that shambling monstrosity, and hear its eerie piping upon the wind. Poor Blakely, he never dreamed -- but now the door is being smashed to flinders, and at last I behold what my meddling has awakened! And now it is dragging me across the floor toward its hideous suckered mouths! Ia! Ia! The Goat With a Thousand Young! No!''
A story is told through a log, diary, or journal that a character uses to document their activities and progress through the plot. Suddenly, [[Gone Horribly Wrong|something happens]], the effects of which are slowly made known to the reader through by its effects on the medium.

▲== Anime & Manga ==
* The Director's Cut of episode 21 of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' opens with a security video taken about a month before Second Impact. It starts off in a mundane way, picking up not only chatter from staff but a conversation between Gendo and Keel on the nature of scientists. Then with a crash, the scene cuts to the moment when Adam begins to grow into [[Our Angels Are Different|the Giant of Light]], and we hear shouting from scientists trying to get the Angel under control. The picture cuts off just as Adam's giant, glowing hands reach into the frame.
** Similarly, all we see of the activation of Unit 04 is a mushroom cloud rising up from the test site, followed by static.

* [[Doctor Strange]]'s log in ''[[Marvel 1602|1602]]''.
* In ''Countdown'', when an unstoppable virus destroys an [[Alternate Universe]] (a universe that had ALREADY been destroyed and remade), we see the last days from through the journal of Buddy Blank. We watch through his eyes as the universe becomes a planet where humans and animals are transformed into violent, bloodthirsty [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half Human Hybrids]].
Line 532 ⟶ 531:
* The Alternate Reality Game "[[Ben Drowned]]" is an account of what happened to one person who picked up a haunted ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' cartridge, and what happened to the people who interacted with it.
* The [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/that-insidious-letter.php "Active Area"] entry in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130618033430/http://www.somethingawful.com/series/30.php "That Insidious Beast"] series from Something Awful. It's written by an everyman rather than a scientist, but it does describe unspeakable horrors and it also ends {{spoiler|with his suicide}}.
