Occupants

The cameras were set up in the hopes of capturing evidence of paranormal activity, a project Annie had been passionate about since her days as a documentarian. The small crew had been tasked with setting up equipment in various rooms throughout the house, from living rooms to bedrooms, in order to get a comprehensive view of Annie and her husband's domestic life. Her husband, a bit of a skeptic, had reluctantly agreed to participate in the project, if only for his wife's sake. The initial setup had seemed relatively straightforward. Annie had given her crew explicit instructions on where to place the cameras, trying to cover every potential angle. They had done their best, but the process had taken longer than anticipated, leaving the couple exhausted and eager to get some rest. As they settled in for the first night of filming, Annie couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. She had always been fascinated by the idea of capturing the unknown, and this project seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that. Her husband, on the other hand, was more concerned with getting a good night's sleep, and was less than enthusiastic about the prospect of being filmed constantly. The first few days passed without incident, the cameras capturing every mundane moment of the couple's daily routine. But things started to take a turn when footage began to surface of a version of themselves that didn't quite match the one that Annie and her husband inhabited. At first, it was small things: a glimpse of a hand that seemed slightly smaller than their own, a faint whisper of a voice that didn't quite sound like their own. Annie was baffled, but her husband was skeptical. "It's just a glitch," he said, trying to brush it off. But Annie was undeterred. She had a feeling that something more was going on, and she was determined to get to the bottom of it. As the days went on, the anomalies continued to appear on camera. They would see themselves doing things they had no memory of, going places they had never been before. It was like they were living parallel lives, and the cameras were the only thing that could show them what was going on. Annie's husband was starting to get spooked. He would wake up in the middle of the night to find cameras rolling, and he couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. He began to wonder if they had made a mistake by getting involved in the project. Annie, on the other hand, was more determined than ever. She started to delve deeper into the footage, trying to make sense of what was happening. She spent hours poring over the tapes, searching for any clue that might explain the strange occurrences. And as she dug deeper, she started to uncover some disturbing evidence. There was footage of them arguing, even though they knew they never did. There were shots of them in places they had never been before, like an apartment in a city they had never visited. And then there were the people in the background - faces they didn't recognize, voices they couldn't place. Annie's husband was getting more and more agitated. He started to wonder if they were somehow trapped in a reality TV show, with cameras following them every step of the way. Annie knew that wasn't the answer, but she couldn't shake the feeling that they were living in some kind of alternate universe. As the days went by, things continued to escalate. The camera footage showed them experiencing events that seemed to be happening to two different people. They would wake up to find their belongings rearranged, or strange notes left for them. It was like they were living on opposite sides of a mirror, with the cameras being the only thing that could show them the way through. Annie's husband was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He started to question his own sanity, wondering if they had somehow stumbled into a supernatural realm. Annie, on the other hand, was determined to get to the bottom of things. She started to investigate the history of their house, searching for any clue that might explain the strange occurrences. And then, just when things seemed like they couldn't get any stranger, they discovered the truth. The house, it turned out, was a nexus point for multiple universes. The cameras had somehow managed to capture a glimpse of the other worlds, allowing them to see the alternate realities that they inhabited. Annie and her husband were stunned. They had stumbled into something much bigger than themselves, something that challenged everything they thought they knew about reality. And as they sat in front of the cameras, trying to make sense of it all, they couldn't help but wonder what other secrets lay hidden, waiting to be uncovered.
