Mysterious Flesh Pit National Park

“Discover verdant forests, majestic scenery, and cosmic terror.” That’s the tagline on this eye-catching poster for Mystery Flesh Pit National Park.

Somewhere near Odessa, Texas, there’s a deep, dark, fleshy cavernous pit called Mystery Flesh Pit National Park that was shut down in 2007 after hundreds of people went missing. At least, that’s the rumor on the internet. But the reality is that Mystery Flesh Pit National Park is not a real place.

It was not discovered in the 1970s, it was not the site of a major disaster that claimed hundreds of lives, and it is not the home of a Geobiological Superorganism. The above-displayed story and media were created by artist Trevor Roberts.

Roberts, who goes by the name StrangeVehicles on Reddit, started creating media for Mysterious Flesh Pit National Park circa 2019 in the Worldbuilding subreddit. This subreddit is used by artists, writers, and other content creators to share their fictional worlds.

On May 22, 2019, Roberts posted a tourism poster for this fictional park. Since then, Roberts has created everything from trail signs, to spa brochures, to camping guides, to diagrams of parasitic fauna, in order to make this fictional park feel more like a real place.

World Building

One of the highlights of Roberts’ world-building exercise is the “investigation report” into an alleged incident that supposedly claimed the lives of hundreds of people in 2007. The report is written in the style of an official National Park Service document, complete with photographs, maps, and charts.

The document describes the events that led to the closure of the park and the subsequent investigation into the missing people. The report adds an element of realism to the project and helps to immerse the viewer in the world of Mystery Flesh Pit National Park.

The Mystery Flesh Pit project is a perfect example of world-building, a process in which creators build fictional worlds and fill them with rich and interesting details. World-building is a common practice among writers, artists, game designers, and filmmakers.

It is an essential part of the creative process, as it allows creators to construct a consistent and believable universe that their audience can immerse themselves in. The goal of world-building is to create a world that feels real, even if it is entirely fictional.

Roberts has taken world-building to a new level with the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park project. He has created a rich and detailed world that is both absurd and terrifying. The world of Mystery Flesh Pit National Park is a grotesque and macabre place, filled with horrifying creatures and bizarre natural phenomena.

It is a place where the laws of nature are twisted and distorted, and where the very earth itself seems to be alive and hostile.

The park is described as a “bizarre natural geobiological feature” that was discovered in the Permian Basin region of West Texas in the early 1970s. The pit is characterized as an enormous subterranean organism of indeterminate size and origin embedded deep within the earth, displaying a vast array of highly unusual and often disturbing phenomena within its vast internal anatomy.

The surface orifice of the Mystery Flesh Pit was enlarged and internal sections were slowly reinforced and developed by the Anodyne Deep Earth Mining corporation, who opened the pit as a tourist attraction in 1976. In the early 1980s, the site was absorbed into the National Park System, which operated and maintained the Mystery Flesh Pit until its sudden closure in 2007.

Roberts tried a Kickstarter video game, but failed fast back in November 2022 stating, “Most people do not fully appreciate what a substantial undertaking it is to produce even a modest video game.”
