Taken by the Storm

Taken by the Storm

7 min · Animation, Horror

Confined to his home by a violent storm, a desolate man struggles to fill the long hours, his days blurring in a haze of routine and restless energy. But when eerie sounds echo through the walls and unsettling visions blur the line between reality and delusion, his quiet confinement turns into a waking nightmare. With no escape from the storm, or whatever has awakened inside his house, he must confront a terrifying dread that something, or someone, seems determined to drive him out… or destroy him from within.
