Alex finds a photo of himself online. He didn’t take it. He didn’t post it. He doesn’t even remember the moment.
First it’s one image. Then another. Then more. Each one more personal. More invasive.
The worst moments of his life are being turned into content – and made a spectacle. At first, it’s just unsettling. But soon, it becomes something far more dangerous.
Someone – or something – is watching him. Following his every move. Posting his life before he lives it. And the algorithm is only getting started.
A chilling psychological horror short for fans of Black Mirror, creepypasta, and digital paranoia.

What a wonderful short story. I couldn’t stop reading this. It’s a mini psychological thriller that gives me the creeps. This story had be trying to figure it out the entire time.
Innocent photoshoot turns into much more than what he bargained for as it quickly turns into a stalker type thriller. Personally wasn’t a fan of the ending and the plot was a bit confusing to follow (at least for me personally) but still a short, fast paced read nonetheless.
