Chapter 13
The Final Broadcast
She gave in.
Sitting on the edge of her designer bed, staring at a TV she never touched, Nina whispered:
“I want my old life back.”
The screen flared white.
For a moment—silence. No voice. No laughter. No applause.
She woke up in her apartment. Same sheets. Same floor creaks. A text from Marla asking to grab coffee.
It worked.
She laughed. Actually laughed. Maybe it was all a dream. A hallucination.
But then— Walking past a storefront window downtown, something caught her eye.
Her reflection.
It was standing still. Smiling. And waving.
Her hand hadn’t moved.
That night, the TV turned on by itself.
No sound. Just static. And her face.
Smiling. Already waiting.
Some shows don’t end. They just switch channels.
That’s the end of Channel 13. Or maybe it’s just the end of this season.
