The Prologue: A Prelude to The Imaginarius

By Russ McDaniel

Things don't line up.
And you've already noticed.

Not enough to panic. Just enough to hesitate-like you've missed something you should have caught.

Time isn't a straight line. It's a skein. A tangled length of thread.

Most people stay on one strand. They live their lives, remember what they remember, and never question why it all feels continuous.
Others notice the overlaps-the places where something slips. The moment that feels like it already happened-but not like this.
You didn't mean to look this closely. But something about it held you a second longer than it should have.
What if d j vu isn't a mistake? What if it's contact?
When you fall asleep... where do you go?
And when you're here-are you certain you're the one who's supposed to be?

The Prologue is your first step into The Imaginarius-a story that doesn't explain itself, doesn't resolve cleanly, and doesn't particularly care whether you understand it.

Love is here. So is loss. But those are only the parts you recognize.

Something else is moving underneath.
And once you notice it, you don't get to un-notice.
Read carefully.
You're closer to this than you think.
