(Short film, horror, 5 minutes)

The record player crackles in the living room. Darkness. Something is wrong in the room, but it is only lit by street lights.

Mark returns home from a night out to discover everyone's idea of a nightmare; in the living room, a decapitated dog; on the walls, satanic signs; with increasing horror he enters the kitchen... More horror found in the fridge. The lights in the house flicker on and off. He is not alone.

Grabing a knife by way of perceived protection, he looks around the house. He goes upstairs, scared now even by his own image. The electrics in the house have a mind of their own. Lights flash on and off. TV's go on, then off.

Petrified, he reaches his bedroom. Everything is normal. Too normal.

Then he sees it. On his bed, a single white business card. He reads it. It reveals the truth of his situation.

The internet buzzes on. The computer reveals more truths about his life, then the monitor snaps to black. Reflected in its image is Mark's destiny...

The record player crackles in the living room.
