When your reflection turns against you, the real horror isn’t what’s out there—it’s what’s been inside all along.

A filmmaker begins to see ghostly intrusions in the thirteenth frame of his edits—then in the corners of his waking life. A memory diver logs out of a trauma session only to find a version of herself already walking the world in her place. And a famed referee in a dystopian sports culture finds the game rigged not just in rules, but in memory itself—where even reality obeys a script he didn’t write.

In this twist-driven collection, identity is fragile, mirrors remember what you forget, and systems—whether digital or political—don’t just control you… they become you.

Through lenses of supernatural suspense, cyberpunk unraveling, and dystopian resistance, these stories explore the terror of being replaced, erased, or rewritten. What binds them is one chilling truth: when memory no longer belongs to you, neither does your life.

How do you fight for reality…

When reality might not recognize you anymore?
