Summary:
<blockquote>After the end of everything, Hark returns to his old, familiar job at Sanctuary. Life, however, does not return to normal.
It begins with small things—things far too small to notice. Open windows that ought to be closed, doors that slam themselves shut, objects in the wrong places. Coincidences.
It becomes something far worse.</blockquote>
