2021 Leighyeann A. Mies All rights reserved An entry for the Open Novella Contest Book #1 of the Face saga Movie poster by @deathinreverie Playlist by @YuriAppl3 [COMPLETED ON 7/7/2021] *** Sim Daejung is the mastermind of the so-called "Face" project, where he forces the people around him to face each other to get them spill the most grueling secrets and possibly start trusting him. Easy, right? Well, maybe it's time to redefine the concept of "easy". Many people are already questioning his motives, as well as each other, for a number of reasons they don't want to disclose. Others just call him out as a "fraud" because he happens to know something about them that could put them into a compromising position. Either way, everyone should brace themselves for the adventure of a lifetime, or for a nightmare that's about to come true...
