Whispers Beneath the Mask: Three Stories Where Nothing—and No One—is What They Seem

Truth wears many faces—and sometimes, it wears yours.

In The Spare Room Pact, a quiet agreement between neighbors slowly unravels into a battle of buried secrets and creeping paranoia. What begins as comfort turns to unease, as one woman’s home becomes a stage for a past that refuses to stay silent.

The Inheritance Gameshow hurls a desperate man into a surreal competition where survival trumps wealth. As each round grows more sinister and family ties dissolve under pressure, one question haunts the players: is the real danger the game… or who’s watching it?

And in Neon Reliquary, a former bounty hunter stalks a stolen archive through a world where memories are currency. But as his past begins to chase him back—wearing his face, speaking with his voice—he must confront the terrifying idea that his identity was never his to begin with.

These three twist-filled tales peel back the layers of illusion, identity, and trust. When even your own memories can't be trusted, how do you know what’s real?

Who are you when the mask falls—and someone else is underneath?
