Watching You Come Back

Sarah Jenkins clings to the edges of her tenth-floor apartment in the shadowed high-rises of Red Hollow, where every vent whispers with the mechanical click of unseen shutters. Haunted by the unsolved disappearance of her aunt, she battles isolation that blurs solitude and surveillance while a stack of unopened envelopes gathers on her counter.

A red envelope slides under her door declaring her the new librarian of an infernal Archive. Polaroids of her sleeping self multiply, the Cornfield Man leers from distant fire escapes, and neighbors’ stares turn waxy and synchronized as the city reveals itself as a vast stage rigged to capture her every flinch.

With her reflection vanishing from mirrors and intrusions escalating to scratches at impossible windows and a basement Processing Plant teeming with captive audiences, Sarah faces total erasure into their eternal reel—or the power to burn it all down.

In a voyeuristic descent where every shadow hides a lens, she confronts the fear she has projected onto the world and rewrites her place within it.
