Trapped in the suffocating silence of his apartment, an isolated remote worker's only companion is Bartholomew, his pet hamster. But when Bartholomew's mundane habits-the arrangement of his seeds, the squeak of his wheel, a daring escape-start to look less like instinct and more like a calculated, intelligent plot, the line between pet and predator begins to blur.
Convinced he's the target of a tiny, furry mastermind, the narrator spirals into a paranoid obsession, documenting every piece of evidence that proves his pet is plotting against him. The real horror, however, isn't what Bartholomew is planning-it's what's been happening to him all along.
