Hypervisor
A man who habitually wakes in the back of airport cabs is delivered to a serviced apartment that shouldn’t exist, run by a woman who already knows his name.
The story
William wakes in a taxi with the practised calm of a man who does this often, and steps out into an industrial park sprawled like a circuit board — glass offices, brand-new roads, no people. One building doesn’t fit: stone-faced, warmly lit, seven floors of “Serviced Accommodation”. Inside, Lina — tall, immaculate, radiating control — crosses the lobby to meet him halfway and greets him by name. Hypervisor is a slow, uncanny sci-fi mystery that builds its dread out of architecture and behaviour: everything is almost normal, and the almost is the horror. In the tradition of Ex Machina and Devs. This is the first 41 pages of the shooting draft.

- Small wrongnesses accumulate — the cabbie who won’t take payment, the too-tall building — toward a reveal.
