Tiny particles of dust drift through the sickly, wavering glow cast by a bank of televisions, each screen filled with the same stark, devotional transmission. The air is thick with the scent of mildew, old timber, and the faint, iron-rich odor of dried blood. You rouse yourself on the icy, filth-caked floorboards of a narrow upper room, your last coherent memory a solitary trek through the woods. As you push yourself upright, your hand slips in a patch of something slick and cold—a dark, congealed stain. The televisions hum their ceaseless sermon. The pressing need to flee claws at you, but the heavy quiet between the broadcasts feels like a predator holding its breath. Which way will you turn?
