The Last Loop
Josh thinks the worst part of moving into an old house will be the dust and silence. He’s wrong.
Hidden in the attic is a sagging cardboard box labeled LOOP, filled with warped cassette tapes and a recorder older than he is. When he plays the first tape, a distorted voice whispers his name—his voice, but hollow, stretched, wrong.
Each new tape pulls him deeper into a nightmare of mirrored selves, shifting reflections, and memories he doesn’t remember having. The recordings reveal arguments he never resolved, a drive he never finished, and a death he refuses to believe is his own.
Worse, the house is listening. Learning. Rewinding.
Trapped between versions of himself and echoes of the past, Josh must face the truth he’s been looping through for far longer than he realizes. But in a house that records every mistake, there may be no way to break the cycle—only to start it again.
Dark, atmospheric, and unsettling, The Last Loop is a psychological horror short that lingers long after the final page.
