The extraction bar crawled across the screen. 1%... 15%... 60%. As it progressed, the temperature in Elias’s small apartment began to drop. He pulled his hoodie tighter, his breath hitching as a thin mist began to escape his lips. He checked the thermostat—72 degrees. He checked the window—shut tight against the mild autumn evening.

Elias looked back. The forest was gone. There was only white. He looked at the monitor, then at his hands, which were slowly turning into pixels of falling frost. He didn't feel afraid anymore. He felt quiet. He typed his final command: Show me.

The world is full of noise, Elias. We just provided the silence. Do you want to go back to the noise, or do you want to see how deep the snow really goes?

He knelt in the snow and looked at the screen. It was a chat window. One message was waiting: You made it. Most people just delete the file.

Elias began to walk toward the light. Every step felt heavier, the snow rising to his knees, then his waist. The cold wasn't just on his skin; it was in his thoughts, numbing the memory of his car keys, his job, his name.

As he reached the lantern, he saw it wasn't held by a person. It hung from the branch of a dead oak tree. Beneath it sat a computer monitor, half-buried in the drifts, its screen glowing with the same flickering cursor he’d seen moments ago.

Elias reached out, his fingers blue and stiff, and typed: Where am I? The response was instant:

The monitor went dark. The wind died down. And somewhere, on a server rack in a basement that didn't exist, a file size grew by exactly one human soul.
