The hum of the television fills your living room, a comforting drone after a long day. The soft glow of the screen washes over your face as you sink into the couch, the warmth of cold tea seeping through the cup in your hand. Outside, the night is still and silent, save for the occasional rustle of leaves. The show you love plays on, a familiar rhythm, until static screeches across the screen. The broadcast shifts—a government survival guide, stark and clinical. Unease prickles your skin, tightening your chest. Then the image fractures, replaced by a crimson face with a gaping, tooth-filled maw and eyes that seem to pierce through you. Its voice is warm, almost kind, as it locks its gaze with yours. "I'll be there, watching you. Forever..." you, do you feel it? The air has grown heavier.
