@williamson.mike

An old television turns on in the middle of the night. Static flickers onscreen as an ominous, distorted voice announces, “Time To Watch.” Samantha kneels in front of the television obediently and watches as a woman is murdered in bed as she sleeps. This is not the first time the television has shown her these horrors, and it won’t be the last as long as Samantha remains trapped in this endless loop of broadcast brutality.
