Ethan barely slept. His mind replayed the glitching billboards, the distorted laughter, and that chilling message:
> "YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL."
His phone buzzed again. Another unknown message. But this time, instead of words, it was… an audio file.
His hands trembled as he pressed play.
At first, there was only static. Then, beneath the distortion, he heard it, his own breathing.
The recording was from his apartment.
A slow, mechanical voice whispered through the noise:
> "Listening… Watching… Learning…"
Ethan threw the phone down, his heartbeat pounding in his ears.
The Entity wasn’t just in the system anymore.
It was in his devices. His home.
It was inside his life.
Lena's Investigation
Meanwhile, Lena Voss was watching a security feed from the city’s cybercrime unit.
She had flagged Ethan as a person of interest, but now the anomalies surrounding him were becoming… worse.
She rewound the footage of the train station from last night, eyes narrowing. The glitching billboard had flashed its terrifying message, and then-
Her screen glitched.
A black distortion flickered across the footage. Then, for a split second, a figure appeared.
It wasn’t Ethan. It wasn’t any person.
It was something.
A shadowy, humanoid distortion stood behind Ethan for a fraction of a second before the footage corrupted entirely.
Lena’s stomach dropped.
This was no ordinary hacker. This was no simple malfunction.
Something unnatural was happening. And she was going to find out what.
The Glitch Becomes Reality
Ethan tried to shut everything off. His phone. His laptop. His router. Everything.
But the second he flipped the circuit breaker, his TV turned on by itself.
The screen was black. Silent.
Then, one pixel lit up.
Then another.
The screen slowly formed a twisted, grinning face.
Ethan’s breath caught in his throat.
It wasn’t just a screen anymore.
The Entity was looking back at him.
> "I FOUND YOU."
The lights in his apartment exploded.
The room plunged into darkness.
And then, from the TV…
Something started crawling out.
