The Distortionist

    Look at him. See how his form flickers and shudders when you catch him on video, the man you didn't even notice was there when you took it in the first place. See how the video warps and blurs and pixelates. Hear how the audio spikes and distorts and cuts out abruptly.

    Do you see it? Look closely. Notice how his face is always masked by the distortions, as though deliberately scrubbed out, or perhaps as though never there at all.

    Now think about every time you notice something in your peripheral vision that doesn't seem quite right, every little oddity or glitch you can only barely see.

    Have you seen him waiting there?

    Well. You'll notice him if he wants you to.
