Fiи™ier: Gothic.zip ... Now

The folder didn't contain documents or images. It contained three files: TheHallway.wav YourRoom.jpg Manifest.txt

A chill crept up Elias's spine. He opened YourRoom.jpg . The image was a high-resolution photo of the very chair he was sitting in, taken from the dark corner behind his closet door. The timestamp on the photo was ten seconds in the future .

When he right-clicked to extract it, the fans on his laptop surged to a scream. The progress bar didn't move from left to right; instead, it bled from the center outward in a deep, bruised purple.

He clicked the text file first. It was empty, save for a single line of code that kept rewriting itself: System.State = "Observed" .

Should the "Gothic" element be (ghosts/demons) or psychological (a stalker/hacker)?
