Arthur pressed 9-9-9-9. Then SET.

Arthur looked down at the manual. Page 42, another scribble: His thumb hovered over the number pad. The static-man on TV reached a hand toward the glass. The Chunghop’s LED began to pulse red, faster and faster, like a panicked heart.

The television in the living room turned on by itself. The volume maxed out. Then dropped to zero. Then came back at half. A channel was changing—not flipping, but scanning, agonizingly slow. It landed on an old black-and-white movie. A man in a fedora was walking away from the camera, into fog.

He tried 4011. The TV shut off.

The man mouthed one word: Help.
