It’s about the silences in my past that still feel louder than any scream. That’s the book I haven’t written—because even now, I’m not sure I want the answer.(less)

Malachai Blackthorn added a status update: 📢 CLARITY will be free to read this October.

Not survival horror—this is a machine built to strip away the self until only raw truth remains. Luci’s descent into Dr. Valerian’s experiments is revelation through pain, erasure, and finality.

October is when you face CLARITY.
