The Video Call from the Parking Lot on Barton Road

It was a Tuesday in late October, just past midnight, when my phone lit up with a FaceTime request from my cousin Margot. She was sitting in her car in the empty parking lot of the old bowling alley on Barton Road, and she was crying. She said she had been scrolling through her recommended tab on a video app and every single thumbnail showed the same image: her own front door, taken from across the street, at different times of day. She had never seen the camera. She had never given anyone permission. She wanted me to stay on the line while she drove home. What I heard during that call—and what I saw when I pulled up her feed myself—is the kind of thing that makes me check my phone's camera light every night before I sleep. The algorithm knew things it should not have known. And it was watching her in real time. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarrated #AnthologyHorror #TheRecommendedTab #BartonRoad #VideoCall #Margot #AlgorithmHorror #InvasionOfPrivacy #Stalking #TechHorror #LateNight #October #SmallTown #RealTime #CameraLight #Disturbing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
