Overview
After spending all day in bed doomscrolling, Reed stumbles upon a video of a mother ‘unaliving’ her baby… while humming the same 4 notes over and over and over. Now every sound that Reed hears in his everyday life morphs into those 4 notes– and with each note, the bloody Mother draws closer.
