It Looked At Him And Kept Walking

(A Dystopian Sci-Fi AI Short Film)

Haldr has one job: get a sealed capsule home to Holdfast before General Vossler and the White Order run him down. All he has is Torv, a six-ton war mammoth, and Vig, a machine built for killing that keeps stopping to look at flowers.

It's been a year since the colossi woke. No one knows what they want. And out on the frozen lake, one of them is watching.

When it looked at Haldr and kept walking, what do you think it saw?

First Gripping Episode...

BLOOD: Episode 1 - The Fourth

(A Morphic Original)

In Wallachia, 1846, an old fortress keeps its secrets behind rain-swept battlements and candlelit stone.

Night after night, Lord Vasari listens to the same delicate melody, unable—or unwilling—to sleep. The guards speak in whispers of “the third one.” A silent young valet watches from the shadows. And somewhere beyond the castle walls, beneath a cold and watchful moon, something is drawing near.

Who, or what, is the fourth?

Enter Lord Vasari’s castle, where every silence conceals a warning, every gaze suggests a hunter, and the darkness may be listening.
