In a world where even the dead refuse to stay quiet, trust becomes the most dangerous gamble of all. A family inheritance turns into a televised nightmare, where contestants must survive more than just cruel riddles. A gifted lawyer takes on the wrong case—only to discover that the real evidence is buried within himself. Two strangers connect in a cemetery, drawn together by grief but pulled apart by something far more chilling.

Elsewhere, an ancient warning is ignored, and what should have been a sacred ritual becomes a descent into madness. A criminal ledger encrypted in flesh holds secrets no hacker should ever access. A woman returns to a place that feels like home—until memories start to unravel, and reality shifts beneath her feet. And finally, in the most haunting silence, a goodbye goes unheard… and something begins to follow.

Every story in this collection twists deeper into the fragile threads of perception, identity, and the lies we tell to feel safe. Power is traded for illusion. Peace masks a curse. The line between justice and vengeance is razor-thin—and bleeding.

Are you sure you know what’s real, or are you simply the last to hear the truth?
