He thought it was d j vu.
He was dying.
Semaj Ekim has spent years driving the long, empty highways of California-living between truck stops, bad coffee, and the quiet weight of a life that never quite came together.
Then he dies.
And wakes up.
Alive. One hour earlier. In a different version of reality.
At first, it feels like luck.
A second chance.
Then it happens again.
And again.
Each death throws him into a new world-almost identical, but never quite right. Memories shift. People change. And something begins to follow him from one version to the next... learning, adapting, getting closer.
What he thought was d j vu is something far worse.
Reality is breaking.
And something is trying to fix it.
As the worlds collapse into each other, Semaj is forced into impossible choices-who to save, who to leave behind, and how much of himself he's willing to lose just to keep moving.
Because survival comes at a cost.
And the longer he lives-
the less human he becomes.
A brutal blend of sci-fi and psychological horror,
The Soft Thing is a haunting story about memory, identity, and the price of staying alive when nothing stays the same.
