Nickname: The Thing Under June
Danger Ranking: 5.E
First Reported: 1976-06-09 — Patmos Township, WA

Summary:
The Thing Under June is an unseen, atmosphere-bound entity that manifests solely during the month of June, blanketing affected regions beneath persistent, cloud-choked skies. Its presence creates an unshifting weather state defined by thick humidity, a golden, low-hanging sun, and an unplaceable scent of melted plastic and wildflowers. It has no known visual form, but its influence is identifiable by a sudden halt in calendar time—watches stop, calendars repeat, and local radio loops archived broadcasts from prior years.

Most disturbingly, The Thing Under June preys upon children and young adolescents. Victims often describe a pressure in their skull, a voice behind the sun, or a tall shape walking between the clouds “with its head hanging low.” These descriptions precede sudden disappearances, often without signs of forced entry or struggle.

Its effects begin subtly—camp counselors forget how long they’ve been at work, school announcements repeat daily, and no one questions why the summer seems longer than it should be. By the third week, entire towns become temporally isolated, repeating the same hours or days endlessly. Only those above the age of 18 seem to notice inconsistencies, but even they grow confused, lethargic, and passive.

When the entity eventually departs (often abruptly on July 1st), victims are never recovered. The towns resume time without memory of the interruption. Surveillance footage and analog recordings captured during active periods typically disintegrate or overwrite themselves with indecipherable analog distortions—usually static paired with reversed voices repeating the word “JUNE.”

Known Properties:

• Manifests only in the month of June; presence marked by persistent golden cloud cover and unchanging weather.
  
• Induces localized temporal stasis and time loops (from 1–72 hours).
  
• Selectively targets children aged 6–16; victims vanish without trace.
  
• Towns caught within its influence fail to retain memory of lost time.
  
• Analog recordings become corrupted or looped with reversed speech and subliminal visuals.
  
• Witnesses report hearing their own names spoken softly during lightningless storms.
  
• Has a psychotropic effect: feelings of “perfect summer,” nostalgia, and passive joy become overwhelming, even during mass disappearances.
  

Containment Procedure:
No direct containment has proven successful. Prevention relies entirely on early detection, isolation, and evacuation. Observation teams should monitor for weather anomalies and psychological feedback trends beginning late May.

• Upon detection of Entity 024’s presence, immediate lockdown of affected area is to be enforced.
  
• All minors within a 25-mile radius are to be evacuated under cover of emergency fire risk protocols.
  
• Clock towers, analog radios, and local news programming must be monitored hourly for temporal anomalies.
  
• Staff assigned to active zones must wear audio dampeners and temporal resistance watches calibrated to central PARADIGM time.
  
• Children displaying signs of fixation on “the clouds,” “forever summer,” or “the golden days” must be removed from the zone immediately and debriefed under sedation.
  

Encounters:

• 1976-06-09 — Patmos Township, WA: Nine children vanish from a summer bible camp over 3 days. Local newspaper prints June 9th edition six days in a row.
  
• 1981-06-22 — Elk Hollow, OR: Entire youth soccer team reported missing. Parents interviewed afterward believed it was “still the 15th.” Game footage lost to fire.
  
• 1990-06-13 — Blueridge County, WA: Surveillance drones capture atmospheric loops over residential area. 46-hour gap in state time logs. All residents report “nothing unusual.”
  

Recommendation:
Terminate contact. Quarantine all affected sites. Children must be removed as early as possible. No experimentation or direct engagement is authorized.

It is not in the clouds. It is the clouds. It remembers every summer you’ve ever wasted. It is building one for itself.
