Flickering blue light from the television paints fractured shapes across the walls of the dim apartment. The evening news dissolves into a burst of static, then a frantic anchor’s voice breaks through, reporting a newly identified virus that rewrites human biology—turning carriers into creatures of the night, weakened by sunlight but unnervingly fast after dark. The screen snaps to black. In the sudden, heavy quiet, you can hear your own breathing. Then you sense it: a presence, standing just behind you.
