The same old commute. The same tired scenery. Fed up with the monotony, I decided to add a little "excitement" to my daily life by imposing a simple rule on myself: "I can only stay in the dark for five seconds." From one streetlight to the next. Connecting the dots of light—a childish game, or so I thought. In the dead silence of the residential streets, you must reach the next pool of light before the five-second count is up. ...But that ordinary daily life began to change, bit by bit. The "5-Second" Countdown The moment you step into the darkness, the countdown begins. You must reach the next source of light before it hits zero. The Streetlights Intervene As if possessed by a will of their own, the streetlights will obstruct your path home. Follow the rules and dash through to reach your front door. Something is Eroding Reality Your once-boring daily life is being slowly consumed by something .
