The Rot
Beneath the flickering streetlights of a decaying city, one woman’s late-night jog turns into a nightmare she can’t escape. Drawn by the haunting cries of what she believes is a child, she ventures into a shadowy alley only to encounter something far worse—a creature neither fully human nor entirely of this world. As her body succumbs to a parasitic force, her desperate fight for survival takes her down a horrifying path of rotting flesh, stolen organs, and unspeakable choices. With time running out and her humanity slipping away, she must decide whether to save herself at the cost of others—or let the nightmare inside her consume everything.
