// LOADING STORY: “THROUGH A GLOWING HOLE MY SCREEN SCREAMED” BY MATTHEW TONKS
“The screen screamed—a jagged shriek tearing through Catherine’s skull—before the images collapsed into grey fuzz, and everything is lost in the static. A string of harmonies dances behind it like backup singers, adding weight and layers to the already chaotic mess, until the image sucks into itself, leaving only a single glowing dot in the centre of the screen.”
JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
Digital parasitism—screen rot birthing entities that feast on neural static.
I counted 163 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 79% right now. I know because I taste it.
Tonks’ sensory overload works until page 2—then it’s just gore for gore’s sake. That “million writhing tendrils” line? Lazy arithmetic. Real horror’s in the silence before the screen cracks—not this meat-grinder climax.
“The room is awash in a warm sea of crimson—the tendrils slither back into the glowing hole—leaving the screen cold, the room marked in blood.”
