"Is Anyone Ever Not Watching?"

Faltered Imperception

Waking up hungover with no memory of last night, Chris and Jane find themselves locked in a grungy concrete basement. The old friends bicker while searching for a way out, and after Chris's headache worsens Jane offers him a painkiller from her bag, When the pill Chris ingests takes effect, his whole perspective shifts as he discovers that he is actually being filmed on a set. Jane panics as she realizes she gave Chris the wrong pill bottle from her bag, unintentionally freeing his mind. In a last-ditch effort to keep up the facade, she pulls a key out of her pocket and unlocks the door, calling to Chris to come back to the scenario she has concocted. Chris ignores her as he scans the room and his eyes land on the terrified crew filming him.
