This is a message from the Department of Digital Security. Please remain calm and listen carefully.

We are issuing a nationwide advisory concerning a recently detected anomaly in all major smart devices, phones, tablets, personal

00:15

assistants, and GPS systems. Routine scans of location histories across millions of users have revealed a consistent entry that cannot be accounted for.

A time-stamped visit to a non-existent location. 37.4 North,

00:33

122.05 West, labeled only as home, too. This record appears between 212 and 217 a.m.

For every user, regardless of time zone, regardless of whether the device was powered on, you may check your own history. You will find the same coordinates, even if your phone was off,

00:50

even if your battery was dead, even if you don't remember going anywhere. If you attempt to visit this location manually, you will not find it.

Satellite imagery loops on an empty patch of woodland. Street view does not load.

The coordinates resolve to a flat,

01:05

quiet place where the wind doesn't move. Several users have reported waking up with mud on their feet.

Their devices recorded movement during those missing 5 minutes. Some had video files 5 seconds long.

No image, just sound. A low

01:20

rhythmic scraping like fingernails on wet wood. In every recording, something breathes once then stops.

If you have listened this far, your device has already updated. The anomaly is present.

It cannot be deleted. Attempts to factory reset will fail.

Attempts to

01:37

remove location permissions will result in a crash. You cannot opt out.

You may begin to feel disoriented in familiar places. Your home may seem slightly off.

Walls an inch too far apart. your bed angled wrong.

You may feel eyes behind

01:53

doors that do not lock anymore. This is normal.

This means they remember you. We urge you not to return to sleep at 2:12 a.m.

We urge you not to follow the breathing should you hear it. And above all, do not answer the knock if it comes from inside the house.

This concludes

the emergency transmission.
