A text box appeared at the bottom of the screen. It wasn't dialogue; it was a GPS coordinate. Leo checked his phone. It was the exact location of his desk. "Is this a prank?" he whispered.
The screen flickered. The low-poly man in the grey suit turned around. He didn't have a face—just a smooth, beige surface where eyes and a mouth should be. The man raised a digital hand and pointed directly at the camera.
A mysterious, tiny file found on an abandoned forum.
The monitor displayed a grain-heavy video of a hallway. It looked like Leo’s own apartment building, but the wallpaper was peeling back like dead skin. The character on screen was a low-poly man in a grey suit, standing perfectly still. Leo pressed the 'W' key. The character took a step.
Suddenly, a loud thump echoed from the real hallway outside Leo’s bedroom. He froze. He moved the character again. Thump.
