The Temporal Glitch Chronicles
Volume 1: Echoes of the Void
A Series of Six Short Stories
Step into a landscape where the boundaries of reality are as fragile as glass and time is a predator waiting to strike. This collection of six haunting tales explores the "Temporal Glitch"—those chilling moments when the past bleeds into the present and the future is already written in blood. From the sterile, suffocating perfection of AI-managed homes to the ancient, breathless silence of rifts hidden deep beneath the earth, these stories navigate the narrow crawlspace between psychological terror and high-concept science fiction. Prepare to encounter fractured identities, lethal paradoxes, and the unsettling echoes of lives that should not exist. In the Void, symmetry is a trap, and the truth is often more terrifying than the ghosts we leave behind.
Shattered Symmetry: An AI prioritises mechanical perfection over a pianist's human soul.
