It was supposed to take us to a rental cabin for the weekend.

Instead, it led us deep into the woods. No signal. No other cars. No houses for miles.

Then we saw it.

An old house, barely visible through the trees.

The GPS said: "You have arrived."

We should have turned around.

But we didn’t.

The door wasn’t locked.

Inside, it felt… wrong.

Not abandoned. Not empty.

The table in the kitchen was already set.

Three plates.

Three glasses.

Three chairs pulled out.

There are three of us.

For a second, we laughed.

Like maybe it was just coincidence.

Then Daniel frowned.

His bag was still in the car.

But his phone…

was already on the table.

Screen on.

Battery full.

Like it had been waiting.

That’s when we noticed the fridge.

There was a printed map pinned to it.

Our route.

From the moment we left home… to this house.

And at the bottom, written by hand:

“You’re right on time.”

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of "administrative horror"—the thought that someone could be erased from existence just by changing a few records.

I just finished this dark storytelling piece about Ethan, a man who goes to identify his wife's body after a hospital fire, only to see her standing in a third-floor window seconds later. It spirals into a conspiracy that’s much darker than a simple ghost story.

I put a lot of effort into the "dark graphic novel" aesthetic and the sound design to make it feel as claustrophobic as possible. Would love to know if the twist at the end caught you off guard!
