The faint blue glow of a CRT television washes over a room shrouded in shadow. Dust swirls in the pale light as you rummage through a crate of forgotten media—magnetic tapes, optical discs, folders of brittle newsprint. The air is thick with the scent of decay and ozone. Your hand closes around a VHS cassette, its spine marked only with a string of numbers that feels familiar. The clock's second hand sweeps past twelve. A low hum resonates from the speakers, not quite random. Select your medium, you, and allow the frequency to locate you.
