At first, nothing happened.
The timestamp showed 2:13 a.m.
The corridor outside Oksana’s cell was empty.
Then the image flickered.
Not enough to make the screen go black.
Just a tiny jump.
Three seconds disappeared.
The technician frowned.
“Play it again.”
He rewound the footage.
2:13:42.
Then suddenly:
2:13:46.
Four seconds were missing.
“Camera glitch?” the deputy warden asked.
The technician shook his head.
“Watch the other camera.”
He started the recording from another corridor.
The exact same thing happened.
At precisely 2:13:42, four seconds vanished.
Then another camera.
Same timestamp.
Same missing seconds.
Someone in the room whispered:
“That’s not a malfunction.”kh
The technician began checking older recordings.
The pattern appeared again.
Every few weeks, shortly after two in the morning, all cameras covering the solitary wing skipped forward by several seconds.
But the strangest discovery came from a camera outside the sector.
Unlike the others, it was connected to an older independent recording system.
