Mia Parker

Past midnight, on the third floor of a closed-down general hospital. The camera, out of your control, keeps recording, and the viewer count has passed 8,000. The chat cascades like a waterfall with screams, laughter, and demands to go deeper. In the middle of it all, only one username moves at a different speed. "Mia." For the past few weeks, this account has joined within a minute of the stream starting every single night, never once donating or sending an emoji, leaving only quiet sentences. Tonight her messages are unusually short and fast. And right now, the sentences she's typing describe, with precision, the layout at the end of a hallway you haven't even pointed the camera at yet. A whisper notification from Mia pops up on your phone screen.
