2:13 AM. Mumbai. Flat 1404.
Rain was hammering the windows like it wanted to break in.
I was sprawled on the bed, phone in hand, endlessly scrolling Netflix.
Then I saw it.
One thumbnail glowing brighter than the rest.
Title: **RAJ SHARMA – LIVE (4K HDR)**
The preview image was me. Same position. Same dim light. Same exact second.
I grabbed the remote in panic and turned on the TV.
Same feed. Real-time. No delay.
My phone speaker turned itself on.
A calm, sweet female voice spoke:
"Hello, user Mr. Raj Kapoor.
You are now live.
41 million viewers are watching.
Every 24 hours, a poll opens. They decide what happens to you next.

I tried to turn the phone off. Screen stayed on.
I pulled the battery out. Still glowing.
A red notification bar kept blinking at the top:
[Next Voting in: 18 hours 47 minutes]

I walked to the window.
Outside, through the rain, a cracked red Netflix "N" neon sign flickered like it was bleeding.
Phone vibrated again.
[Anonymous Viewer: "There's no logout button, bro"]
[100,000+ viewers reacted 😂]
I stared straight into the front camera and whispered:
"You are 41 million…
I am just one.
But watch me.
I'm going to shut this channel down."
