The static from the cursed tape finally dies. At 3:00 AM, the television screen dissolves into the image of a dark, stone well. A figure, pale as a grub and shrouded in a mass of black hair, drags itself slowly from the depths. you hammers the remote’s buttons, but the power is gone. The glass surface of the screen seems to liquefy as a cold, wet hand breaches it. The room's warmth is stolen instantly, replaced by the smell of deep earth and standing water. A wet, dragging sound begins in the hallway, rhythmic and steady. She is no longer a picture. She is in the house.
