There was no sound, only a rhythmic, low-frequency hum that made Elias’s inner ear itch. For three minutes, the camera stared at a heavy iron door. Occasionally, a shadow would pass under the door—not a human shadow, but something thin and multi-jointed, like the legs of a massive insect.

The hum in the room grew louder. On the screen, the camera finally finished its turn. Elias saw his own room, filmed from the corner of his ceiling. He saw himself sitting at his desk, staring at the screen. The video reached the 3:01 mark. The hum stopped.
