// LOADING STORY: “A HUMMING BREATH CALLS TO THE DEAD” BY MATTHEW TONKS
“Jackie sits with his mouth hanging open as his eyes dart between the others, and gently—ever so slowly—he begins to hum. The others turn to him, and he smiles nervously. He shrugs his shoulders, humming all the while.”
JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
Sonic infection—the hum burrowing into bone marrow like maggot larvae.
I counted 147 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 69% right now. I know because I taste it.
Tonks’ vein-pulsing body horror slaps, but that stammering dialogue? Exhausting. Real terror’s in the humming’s physical weight—not cheap “infected” tropes. Claude’s eye-socket murder? Overkill.
“She falls to her knees as her heart pounds with panic.”

“Every breath falters, every gasp catches. She grips at her throat—her hands awash in a growing sea of pulsating black veins—and then, as she catches her last breath, she feels it in the back of her eyes, and realises—all too late—that she is humming herself.”
