Regression Man
Cook lives in anti-time.
He experiences everything in reverse to everyone else.
In his unsettling universe, he's a bartender where last calls come first, games end before they begin, and history plays out like a grand performance before his very eyes. He hasn't been introduced-he's already being said good-bye to.
His regulars-Frank, Edna, and the quietly anchoring One-Eyed Steve-don't grow older with time. They unravel as they sober up, creating chaos before calm, punchlines before setups, and friendships that must be forgotten before they are formed.
Only a handful of whispers remain before Cook himself fades, erased by a future nobody can see coming.
Told through a series of encounters, mysteries, and moments witnessed in reverse, Regression Man invites the reader to experience life backward-where meaning arrives before cause, endings precede beginnings, and the greatest truths reveal themselves only after they're lost.
What do you do when the best memories lie in a past receding from sight?
When joy is something you must forget before it happens?
And when the name you thought belonged to a man is really just an old job, disguised as fate?
Good-bye.
