The next morning, Marco’s roommate found him staring at a blue screen. The error code wasn’t a standard Windows stop code. It read:

Instantly, his wallpaper vanished. The taskbar flickered, then disappeared. A single window opened: a command prompt with green monospaced text.
His heart stuttered. He yanked the laptop’s power cord. Nothing. The battery was soldered in. The screen went black for one second—then returned, brighter, showing a first-person view from inside a bus. A ghostly city scrolled past. The steering wheel turned on its own. The dashboard clock read .

On his real desk, his webcam light glowed red.
