A homeowner three hours away in a conference room receives a notification that their smart lock has been disengaged - but they're the only one with access.

What follows is a terrifying digital game of lock and unlock, repeated over and over, until security camera footage reveals something impossible standing in the living room. A tall, indistinct shadow that doesn't walk but flows, reaching toward the camera and waiting for the door to finally stay open.

A haunting story about modern security systems, the things that learn to manipulate them, and the cold certainty that something dark now knows where you live.

Perfect for grown-ups who rely on smart home technology.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
