A Trace in the Darkness - What Wasn't Buried
The story follows a young man whose world shatters after the sudden, enigmatic death of his best friend, a figure who had mysteriously vanished without explanation weeks prior. Their shared history is a tapestry of deep friendship and countless memories, leaving the protagonist determined to uncover the truth behind this inexplicable tragedy.
The official report is as cold as it is inconclusive-suicide, they say. But the young man feels an unsettling disbelief gnawing at his soul. His doubt intensifies when he stumbles upon an unusual artifact among his friend's belongings: an antique pair of reading glasses. This peculiar discovery marks the beginning of his descent into a world beyond comprehension. When he dares to put on the glasses, reality itself begins to fracture. Through their cracked lenses, he glimpses haunting visions of his friend's final moments-fragmented whispers of a terror that doesn't seem confined to this world. Shadowy figures flit at the edge of his vision, their gazes full of malevolence and recognition, as if they know him intimately.
What begins as a quest to honor his friend spirals into a nightmare. The once-familiar boundaries of reality blur as he is tormented by demonic doppelgangers mirroring his loved ones and chilling hallucinations that leave him questioning his own sanity. A creeping darkness seems to seep from the very edges of existence, threatening to consume not only him but also everyone he holds dear.
