Elias looked at the bottom corner of his computer screen. It was today.
The video finally flickered to life in crisp 1080p. It wasn't a movie. It was a drone shot of his own neighborhood, filmed from an impossible angle. He watched himself on screen, sitting at his desk, illuminated by the blue light of the monitor.
