It started as an ordinary morning in London. By nightfall, the world was dead. A global signal pulsed across every device on Earth — a message meant to connect humanity forever. But something went wrong. Within twenty-four hours, billions were gone, their hearts and minds burned out by the transmission. Twenty-nine-year-old web developer Poppy Lane survived when almost no one else did. Now London stands silent, haunted by flickering screens and voices whispering through the static.
