Soren Voss has always been sensitive, hyper-aware of the quiet moments that slip by unnoticed by others. For most of his life, he's dismissed these sensations as his mind's response to anxiety-a constant, invisible weight pressing down, filling his world with whispers and shadows. But when the line between his own thoughts and something far more real begins to blur, Soren finds himself questioning everything he thought he understood about himself. Late at night, in the silence of his empty apartment, Soren feels it: a presence that watches, a force that echoes his deepest fears back at him. It's not the monstrous figures of ghost stories; it's something far more insidious, weaving itself into his insecurities, amplifying his doubt, and intensifying the haunting within his own mind. No one else can see it. No one else can feel it. But as Soren struggles to keep his grip on reality, he realizes that his greatest fears may be more than just thoughts-they might be threads of an unseen truth, unraveling before his eyes. As he delves deeper, Soren must confront the ghosts of his past, the secrets he keeps even from himself, and the unsettling realization that some forces are both outside him and within. In Threads of an Unseen Truth, Soren's journey leads him to uncover the darkest, most hidden parts of his own mind, where the invisible has never been more real.
