Lost and Found

by Rachel Conlin-McLeod

It begins with a woman enjoying a morning jog. Along the way, she gets sort of turned around. Streets no longer seem so familiar, subtle changes here and there appear among the scenery. Places appear and disappear or apparently relocate themselves. Faces change, names become unclear, and the lines between dream and reality find themselves getting blurred. Is Erika Lunport losing more than just her sense of direction? Is she lost in a loop of strange dreams or is there something more happening to her? Is she lost in dreams or are these hallucinations?

What began as a morning jog becomes a strange trip through memories and dreams that may not be her own. When will she be found? Who will find her? Can she even manage to find her own way?

Rounding up from 3.5 stars.

I enjoyed this sci-fi thriller, but this was definitely a slow burn. It took quite awhile to get where it was going. The first half was worth 3 stars as I spent most of it wondering where the story was going; if anywhere. The second half definitely captured my interest more and I enjoyed the ending.

Twisted ending!!

I did not expect this surprise ending! This story is awesome. I really enjoyed it. A blend of light horror meeting sci-fi.
