The black SUVs screeched to a halt, flanking the truck. Men in heavy coats stepped out, their faces obscured by the rain. One of them tapped a pistol against Elias’s window.

He looked at the digital clock: . Eight minutes until the "Blast" was supposed to happen. He wasn’t a demolition expert, and he wasn’t a criminal. He was a man caught in a digital nightmare. The file name burned in his mind: WifeysWorld - Mover Blast 2015-09-18.mp4 . To the rest of the world, it might have sounded like a mundane home movie or a strange internet relic.
