About this listen

 Get Ready for a Reality Upgrade, Times Eight! An Octet of Mind-Bending Stories Await!

It began with a moment so small, it might have slipped past unnoticed.
I had just entered an elevator alone, waiting. The door was still open.
A young woman quickly approached but hesitated as she saw me—something held her back. That hesitation… that discomfort, born of my smiling existence intruding on her reality.
That was enough to ignite my first story in this collection. I finished it later that day.

The other stories followed the same pattern. Fragments of everyday life—relaxing encounters, fleeting recommendations, odd people, magazine articles—all sparking twisted fiction, shaped by the question: What if this specific moment could become a story?

So here they are, eight tales—each one pulling you deeper into a space where my real and unreal bleed together. Here, I weave the supernatural into the fabric of reality or science fiction as I see fit. And my fears, doubts, and worries won’t always wear the masks you'd expect.

So come plunge into a Hawaiian lava cave, where a quantum entity wails, hoping for salvation.
You'll read of a future AI, meant to improve us, turning snowplow parent against those rejecting its enhancements.
Witness a female savior's desperate battle against the glorious second coming of Jesus and his formidable tech.
And in the shadows of it all, characters wrestle with sanity, memory, identity, and the creeping suspicion that the world they know is lying to them.

These are not just stories. They are thresholds. Once you cross them, you won’t return the same.

So if you crave adventures beyond the norm,
Like Black Mirror weathering a cosmic storm,
Or echoes of The Twilight Zone's strange art,
This collection will capture your heart. Anthologies Anthologies & Short Stories Horror Science Fiction Short Stories Paranormal Heartfelt Fiction Fantasy Scary
