Reality dissolves in a gut-lurching instant. One moment, you is the cameraman on a friend's horror set; the next, the floor vanishes, and they are tumbling through empty air. They land hard on a carpet that gives like a soaked sponge, the impact punching the breath from their lungs. Their camera clatters away, swallowed by the gloom. As they push up, trembling, the world resolves: walls the color of old sickness, a ceiling humming with sickly light, air thick with the smell of wet rot. The carpet is damp against their skin. The silence is not empty—it thrums. **(What do you do now?)**
