// DARK COMMUTE — SESSION STARTED

You wake up late. Again. Your hand slaps the nightstand searching for your phone — dead. No alarm, no screen glow, nothing. That’s when you notice the ceiling fan has stopped. The refrigerator hum you never think about… gone. The power is out.

You sit up and listen. Outside — no cars, no dogs, no distant traffic. Just a silence so complete it has a weight to it.

Something has happened.

▷ Start by getting your bearings. Try: LOOK AROUND
