Backward or Forward?
A chilling psychological novella about memory, fate, and the cost of survival.
Seventeen years ago, John Hughes lost everything.
A car accident stole his parents and siblings, leaving him the sole survivor of a night that never stopped replaying in his mind. Now, at thirty-five, John is trapped between two impossible choices—Backward or Forward—words whispered to him by a mysterious voice, words tied to a wooden box that seems to bend time itself.
Is he reliving his past, or rewriting it?
Is the box real, or the invention of a broken mind?
And most haunting of all—can the future ever change, or is tragedy destined to repeat itself in infinite ways?
From hospital corridors to childhood toys that refuse to stay silent, Backward or Forward? blurs the line between reality and illusion, weaving a story of grief, obsession, and the terrifying inevitability of fate.
Fans of psychological thrillers, time-loop mysteries, and dark literary fiction will find themselves unable to look away as John descends deeper into the labyrinth of his own mind.
