The room is dark, lit only by the dying phosphor glow of the television. A final, distorted broadcast has just sputtered into a flatline of static. The screen goes dark, but the hum lingers in the air, a low electric tinnitus. Then, your phone rings, sharp and jarring. The name on the display is Mark Heathcliff. You answer. His voice comes through, frayed and crackling with poor reception. 'Did you see it? The broadcast?' He doesn't wait for your answer. The silence in your own room feels oppressive, charged. You can't shake the sensation that the shadows in the corners are thicker than they were a moment ago, that something is standing very still, just outside the light.
