The Failsafe

By Matthew T. Crewse

Prologue: Before the Page
Before the girl.
Before the ribbon.
Before the boy stitched in thread and sorrow-
There was a story.
Not written in ink.
Not carved in stone.
But whispered between the bones of the world.
A story that wanted to be perfect.
It shaped itself into chapters, bound itself in rules, folded people into roles they never chose. It wrote heroes and monsters. Love and sacrifice. Death and silence.
And when that wasn't enough-
It began writing itself.
Over and over.
Fixing what cracked.
Rewriting what wandered.
Replacing what refused to end.
And somewhere, in the quiet between versions-
It made her.
Not a girl.
Not a savior.
A failsafe.
A final draft with eyes and a heartbeat.
One last chance to get the ending right.
But stories have a habit of twisting.
Of choosing.
Of remembering what was meant to be forgotten.
And when she opened her eyes-
the story opened with her.
