With trembling hands, Elias right-clicked the Ghost Face.zip folder and looked at the properties. The "Date Created" wasn't in the past. It was set for tomorrow. The file size began to tick up in real-time—81GB, 82GB, 83GB—as if it were recording and saving his current terror into the archive.
The footage was high-definition, shot from a static perspective. It took Elias a moment to recognize the location. It was a bedroom. A messy desk, a spinning chair, and a man sitting with his back to the camera, illuminated by the blue glow of two monitors. Elias felt a cold spike of adrenaline hit his stomach. The man in the video was him. He was watching a live feed of himself, from a camera mounted somewhere on the wall behind him.
Elias watched the screen as the knife began to descend, realizing too late that in this edit, he wasn't the editor. He was the footage.
