    Tales from the edge of reality…

    • A hostess’s memories of one of her guests doesn’t match anyone else’s.
    • A private detective investigates a case of a woman who may or may not exist.
    • A writer discovers a “rip” in the air, invisible to everyone but himself—and his reality begins to unravel.

    In this unsettling series of seven short mysteries, nothing is quite what it seems. Each story explores the fragile border between memory and illusion, identity and invention—where characters begin to doubt not just others, but themselves. In the end, what’s more terrifying: that no one believes you… or that they might be right?
