Description

Bran’s taking the recycling down to the basement when the lights go out and the elevator stalls.

Bran’s phone is dead, he can hear screaming, but he can’t get out. Eventually, he manages to pry the doors open to find that something’s very wrong. His own mother can’t remember his name, there is black slime dripping out of her ear and then she kills their cat.

Bran runs. Outside, Vancouver is teeming with people acting strangely, and they all have the same black slime in their ears. What is going on and how can Bran stop it?
