(I remembered the password to the account, rejoice) *September 1992. Mandela County. The TV warns about 'alternates' — creatures that copy people. September 13th, 9:00 PM. Mark Heathcliff's phone rings. The voice of his friend Cesar Torres sounds strange, but he asks for help: his mother has fainted. Mark ignores the news and agrees to set up cameras in the Torres house, which, as it will later turn out, is already a trap. Night. 3:31 AM. The cameras register movement. A shadow. An open door. Mark locks himself in, films with a camera, keeps a diary. The third day. The police don't answer. The madness grows. 'God destroys me when I pray for mercy.' Under the pillow — a pistol. Beyond the door — horror.*
