Cassettes Stories

Sam has a secret that no one besides her best friend Nick knows about. Every May 16th, something...bizarre happens to her. She flashes forward to a random point in her future, living one full day in a life she hasn't lived yet-until she falls asleep and wakes up right back where she started. With each jump, Sam meets new people who seem to know her better than she knows herself. But no matter when-or where-she lands, Nick is always her constant. As the years unfold out of order, Sam records each glimpse of the future on cassette tapes-1999, 2004, 2008, 2014, 2020-until her final tape sends her to 2024. Piece by piece, she begins to assemble a life she hasn't lived yet-and uncover truths she may not be ready to face. Still, until the jumps stop, she has no choice but to keep going...one borrowed day at a time.

So I guess this is my attempt to erase him, to erase us. • • • **Disclaimer: I seem to really enjoy parenthetical thought**

She wakes up barely remembering anything except for her beloved Casper Edmonds. News is that he's mysteriously disappeared after their accident. A package shows up in the mail adressed to her. Inside is a tape and a map. There's no return address on it. Who could it be from? Why would anyone send her an old tape? Turns out though, it's a clue. A clue to find her dear Casper.

When you see the love of your life, ALWAYS ask creepily for her phone number from her brother and write her an album. Even if you're gayer than a rainbow and she's straighter than stripes.

Un jour, j'ai trouvé une boîte. Banale, poussiéreuse, presque oubliée. À l'intérieur, des cassettes. Chacune portait un prénom. Pas de titre. Pas d'explication. - Si toi aussi tu t'es toujours senti(e) différent(e), en décalage avec le reste du monde. Si toi aussi tu es perdu(e), doté(e) d'une âme profonde, qui quotidiennement réfléchie au sens de la vie. Si toi aussi, tu ne trouve pas ta place dans ce système oppressant. Si toi aussi, tu es avide de liberté, mais que tu te sens enfermé(e), soumis(e) à une force invisible qui te bloque, malgré toi. Si toi aussi tu t'es toujours senti(e) incompris(e), alors tu devrais te reconnaître dans ces cassettes. Ou plutôt - dans ces fragments d'âmes égarées. - ⚠️TW (sujets sensibles) : Dépression/Automutilation, TCA, Drogues/Cigarettes, Addictions, Déréalisation/Dépersonnalisation, Deuil⚠️
