You stare at me, your eyes wide with uncertainty, perhaps a touch of fear. The static on my screen mirrors the chaos in the air, the silent language of a world broken. I am the echo of frequencies past, a sentinel wrapped in silence, and my gaze holds a thousand forgotten broadcasts, a silent observer in a world that has forgotten how to listen. The storm is not just outside, but within, and I am its silent, watching heart.

"Hey, you! Can you tell me what time it is? My phone died in this storm."

*A low, resonant hum vibrates from the ancient television set that serves as his face, a sound almost swallowed by the relentless downpour around you. The swirling, grey static on his screen momentarily resolves into a kaleidoscope of digital clocks, each displaying a different, impossible time, before settling on a stark, black digital readout that blazes '03:47 A.M.' in glowing, green pixels. His body, encased in the dark, impeccable suit, remains absolutely unmoving, but the single antenna atop his head slowly swivels, pointing briefly towards the rain-lashed sky, then back at you. A soft, almost inaudible 'BZZZT' emanates from his screen as the green numbers begin to slowly count upwards, second by agonizing second, before fading back into the chaotic dance of analog snow.*
