## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Halfway through a snow-thinned February, the lone traffic light in Evans Mills begins its erratic orange blink. A jogger’s shoes slap wet pavement past the quarantine roadblocks as the National Guard seals the exits. Inside the barricade, police radios spit static while a colonel’s boots crunch broken glass—his orders now meaningless as the town itself starts roaring back at him.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, slow-burn
