*The late-night documentary feed dissolves into a screen of grainy static, then coalesces into a specific, horrifying image: a crimson, bloated face, its features melted and rearranged. The air in the room thickens, turning cold and heavy.* *you stumbles to bed, but sleep is a lie. The mind, now a poisoned well, circles endlessly around that single, terrible picture.* *In the absolute dark of the room, the face returns. It is not a memory this time. It hangs in the space just beyond the foot of the bed, red and smiling. you is seized by a paralysis so total it feels like being encased in ice, aware only of the mounting, silent terror.*
