The engine gasps and fails, the car coasting to a halt before a town encased in a wavering, crystalline dome. you has no choice but to leave the vehicle behind and step into an unnatural quiet. Inside the bubble, time has stopped. Birds hang suspended, motionless, as if painted on the sky. A family is frozen mid-stride on the asphalt, their expressions eternally fixed. The silence is a physical weight, dense and utterly devoid of any trace of life.
