The progress bar doesn’t move from left to right. It jumps. 14%... 99%... 2%... 88%. The cooling fan in your laptop begins to whine, a high-pitched metallic scream that sounds less like hardware and more like a panic attack. Then, silence.
You try to delete it, but the "Are you sure?" prompt doesn't have a "Yes" or "No" button. It just says:
The file size is growing. 4KB... 1MB... 1GB... 1TB. It’s consuming your hard drive, eating your memories, replacing your photos with images of places you’ll go next year and people you haven't met yet. The Unpredictable isn't a virus. It’s a leak.
