The Glitching

Upon walking through the door, Dora was immediately bombarded. Her daughter was being lured down another rabbit hole, obsessing over yet another online conspiracy theory. The Glitching, the kids were calling it.

This time it was a classmate’s missing goldfish. According to Lina, the girl was in hysterics(apparently, The Glitching was contagious).

“Alex swears he saw a car vanish into thin air yesterday.” Lina prattled on. “With someone inside.”

The TV pulled Dora’s attention away from her daughter: “We’re receiving numerous reports of Fremont High students vanishing…”

Wait… “Where’s your brother?” Dora asked the now empty room. Lina was gone.
