Grandfather Paradox

Grandfather Paradox is the story of a young man who keeps falling through the same cracked mirror of time, only to discover the reflection was always watching him back. In the ruins of a collapsed America, the New Jersey Pinelands rise as a shadowed stronghold of gnarled pines and haunted swamps—a place thick with old folklore, whispered prophecies, and the weight of biblical end-times. Here lives Dallas: wiry, restless, half-wild. He walks the sandy trails with his dog, tends secret gardens, and answers the forest’s older call. One day a white stag appears. It leads him to mushrooms that glow with colors the world has forgotten. He eats. Reality fractures. Time slips. What begins as survival becomes something far stranger—a living paradox that rewrites the ground beneath every step he takes. This is not simply a tale of the end of the world.  It is a myth of vision and blood, of loyalty tested in the dark, and of the strange mercy of a forest that refuses to let its chosen son stay lost.
