Monitor Keeps Going Black For A Few Seconds Novels & Stories

For a single, fleeting second, the older man's calm, aristocratic smile completely shattered, his slate-gray eyes widening in pure, unadulterated shock as the camera view spun into a dark vortex of gray dust and breaking glass. ​BZZZZT. ​The screen went entirely dead, replaced by a steady, golden Directorship notification loop. ​​EXTERNAL SIGNAL TARGET "KANE_M_COMMAND": DISCONNECTED. ​​LOCAL PERIMETER THREAT CORRECTIONS: SUCCESSFUL. ​​STAGING BAY GRID: STABILIZED.

Walking up to the safe room I put the code in, walking in I switch the monitors on. Going back to the first day Jo started I hit play, skipping the morning with Alena to where Jo arrives. Watching as Alena walks out, everything is fine. Jo clearly looking towards the door, the screen goes blank it comes back on and shows Alena walking in. Skipping to the next day within two minutes of Alena leaving it stops recording again until she gets home.

Flashlights cut through the rain as Gideon's remaining Black Feather guards opened fire wildly into the pine trees. I ignored the gunfire, my eyes fixed entirely on the terminal monitor as I initiated a full-scale regional data blackout. "Come on... come on..." I whispered, slamming my palm against the execution key. The server box let out a sharp, high-pitched electronic whine. The small antenna on top of the box began to flash a violent amber light as it scrambled the incoming wireless frequencies from Manhattan. On the screen, a secondary status bar appeared, tracking the communication loop between the terminal and the tower vaults.

At my wedding rehearsal, the officiant asked for the third time for us to exchange rings. My best friend, Stacy Campbell, stood beside me as the maid of honor, looking impish. "The treasure hunt game's started. Guess where the ring's hidden?" My fiance, Jeremy Dean, let out a helpless laugh and started guessing hiding spots. I was the only one staring at the empty box, sweat breaking out across my forehead. It was starting again. This so-called treasure hunt game. When we were kids, Stacy hid my scarf in the boiler room while Jeremy kept watch for her. I searched for four hours and finally dug the scorched corner of it out of a pile of ash. Right before the SATs, my admission ticket go

Before I could hit the execution command to lock down the master server, the main diagnostic monitor on my desk didn't flicker. It flatlined. The screen went black. Then a single line of bright green text appeared across the glass, typing itself out in real time. It had bypassed every firewall and encryption key we owned. WELCOME TO YOUR CAGE, KOSKIVIRTA. WE ARE ALREADY INSIDE.

Jeremiah huffed, put his hands behind his back, turned, and walked into his office. In the security control room, Jade was intensely focused on the monitors, reviewing the footage from the morning, frame by frame. Unexpectedly, while everything seemed fine initially, the footage went black when it came to her dormitory area. "Sorry, the cameras in that section malfunctioned. We're already investigating the issue," explained the security guard. Jade had a suspicion of what had happened and asked, without much hope, "Can it be fixed?" "It depends on the extent of the damage. If it was tampered with, it might be hard to restore."

He unplugged it, plugged it back in. Still nothing. Alex grabbed her phone. Opened the app. The feed didn’t load. Just a spinning circle. Then a message: Connection unavailable. Alex stared at it. “Call Marcus,” Dominic said. She already was. Marcus arrived twenty minutes later. No questions over the phone. Just, “I’m coming.” He stepped inside without knocking, eyes already scanning the room. “Show me.” Dominic handed him the monitor. “Cut out about ten minutes ago.” Marcus turned it over, checking the back, the ports, the wiring.

He pointed to the timer that had count down to about forty minutes left. "Let me see if I can shut it down." Ricardo began keying in a set of command that brought the screen blank and lines of code began to appear. "Or maybe I can at least hibernate it long enough for your friends on the mountain to take over and contain it." A few minutes and an enter key later, the equipment powered off. "It's done," he sighed in relief. A smile had just begun to form on Megan's face when the glass panel suddenly began to beep with blue light running across its structure, and all the nanites went red-hot.

he thought, he stared at the panel for a few seconds to see if it happened again, nothing happened so he turned to his monitors and saw there were a couple of blacked out cameras. “What the hell?” he said out loud, he looked for the camera’s location, one was on the third floor and the other was near the roof. Heaving his huge frame out of his chair he headed for the lift, it was unlikely the door had blown open by itself so he thought he had better go and check. As he hit the button for the lift he heard a buzzer again, he swung around and quickly made his way back to his desk. By the time he got there the buzzer had stopped so he still didn’t know which door it had been opened. As he turne

Aria immediately caught his arm. “You should not be walking around.” “I’m participating spiritually.” “You are bleeding spiritually too.” A faint tired smile touched his mouth before he focused back on the monitors. The vehicles had stopped moving. Victor frowned. “Why did they stop?” Nobody answered immediately. Then one of the camera feeds flickered. Static cracked across the screen. Daniel’s expression changed instantly. “That’s not good.” The feed went black. Then another. And another. Until only one monitor remained active. The front gate camera.
