The face leaned closer. The static around its edges bled into the room, tendrils of gray noise curling around Leo’s feet. He looked down. His legs were still there, but they were pixelating —breaking into jagged blocks of color, like an old JPEG being saved over and over.
Leo leaned closer. One of the rooms looked familiar—the cracked linoleum, the stack of gaming magazines. His room.
