The Myth of Sisyphus

Across Los Angeles, people are quietly disappearing. There are no explosions, no riots, no panic. Only a strange, blinding light, and one by one, people step into it and vanish.

Determined not to sit still, a teenage girl drags a reluctant friend to a hilltop tower to broadcast something — proof that someone tried to speak before the end. Across town, a young man takes refuge at his grandmother’s house, where the two cling to routine and the comfort of home, until the light finds them too.
