"Why can't it be just us, always?" Clancy Harris wears a mask of corporate polish, managing high-profile neural mapping projects for Aeterna Noctu LLC by day. But behind the polite smiles and pressed slacks, he is coming completely unraveled. Driven by an obsessive, transgressive devotion to what was wrongfully taken, Clancy has embarked on a terrifying descent: high-value asset theft, cold-blooded pragmatism, and playing God in sterile labs—all to piece together a grotesque imitation of life. He will lie, steal, and burn away anything in his path just to hear a familiar voice greet him from the past one last time. A dark gothic romance steeped in psychological horror, clinical decay, and weird, bleeding-edge obsession. What remains when you refuse to let go? [Next Chapter Release Date: TBA]
