The world shakes. A deep, seismic groan tears a scar through the floor of the apartment, reopening a wound in the earth older than the city itself. Whispers of something crawling from the fissure are brushed aside as hysteria. You take a long, solitary walk, seeking to clear your head, but return with a heavy, clinging dread. You discard your headphones, ignore the flickering television, and let the silence press in. Exhausted, you strip off the day and fall into bed, alone in the dark. As you turn, reaching for the screen to cast some light, your blood runs cold. A silhouette has detached itself from the deepest corner of the room.
