“Heavier Than Usual”
Short Synopsis
On what should be a routine pickup, Cass arrives at a quiet apartment complex in the rain, expecting nothing more than another job. But when she attempts to move the body, something immediately feels wrong—the weight isn’t natural. It’s anchored, as if something unseen is holding it in place.
As Cass pushes through and makes contact, she’s hit with a sudden, overwhelming vision—of a man falling endlessly through darkness, energy burning inside him, and something watching from beyond. When reality snaps back, that same energy transfers into her.
At first, she rejects it.
But something has already changed.
Where the body was once impossible to lift, it now feels effortless. Cass completes the job in silence, trying to maintain control while realizing the weight she felt wasn’t physical—it was something else entirely.
As she drives off into the night, the rain falling heavier against the windshield, a faint glow begins to pulse beneath her glove.
Because whatever she touched…
didn’t stay behind.
