Creep doesn't remember her real name. All she knows is what they called her after the experiment. They said she failed. They gave her money and told her to disappear. So she did. She ran deep into the forest and stayed there, building a life out of silence and distance. For four years, she lived alone in a treehouse, hidden from the world that broke her. No people. No noise. Just trees, sky, and a little monkey named Iko who never left her side. She thought peace would last. But peace is never permanent. When strangers take Iko, Creep is forced to step back into a world that once erased her. The cities feel louder. The people feel colder. And the ones who created her are still watching, waiting for her to make the wrong move. She does not want attention. She does not want to be special. She just wants her life back. Do you ever feel like the world was never made for someone like you? Because Creep does. Always.
