A channel called Tower TV has started broadcasting on cable television across the
US. Nobody seems to know who runs it or why it's there.
The
people who watch it start acting very strangely, though the exact nature
of their odd behavior appears to depend on what they've seen. For
instance, those who watch films made by a mysterious company called
Horma Studios enter an anxious or paranoid state related to the contents
of the film.
The
show I've read of the most out of all the Tower TV shows is called
Playtime with Mikey. Playtime with Mikey features the
titular Mikey, a man dressed in a monkey costume, who plays games with
preschool-age children- the same age, presumably, as the target
audience- and teaches them about basic math, science, and art, as well
as concepts like sharing and personal space.
So
far, so innocuous. The troublesome part is the people who watch
Playtime with Mikey. They often end up detached, in a haze of sorts. All
of them recall having watched the show as children, though I can't find
records of Tower TV or Playtime with Mikey existing before the past few
weeks, and all of them seem caught on the feelings of nostalgia it
invokes in them. Conversation with those who watch it is fragmented in nature,
as the aforementioned viewers always start talking about their childhood
memories before they can actually express any original thoughts.
The
thing that scares me most is that, occasionally, they have flashes of
lucidity where they act normally again, or, much worse, moments of fear
or anger, seeming scared or upset about "she," "they," or "it."
Allow
me to state what you may have already put together yourself. "It" is
the show, "they" are the people behind Tower TV, and
"she" is the Wooden Girl, who rules over the Screaming Tower and whose
strings are beginning to reach ever further.
