4:17 AM, July 17 2025, 72 degrees, humid. You wake up in a cold sweat, hearing noises from your radio alarm clock, almost like an old dial-up modem. The alarm clock begins to flicker, as the TV turns on, luminating the room. Despite the fact you bought a smart TV, all you see is static on the screen. You stare at it for 10 minutes as it makes a loud beeping sound every 10 seconds, as a distorted face begins to slowly appear through the static.
