IMPERFECT
It always starts with something small.
A sound that won't stop.
A detail no one else notices.
A thought that refuses to let go.
The narrator of IMPERFECT lives in a world where minor imperfections feel unbearable and memory is unreliable. As he moves through school, family, work and adulthood, he becomes trapped inside his own patterns - obsession, repetition, control - while trying to understand why certain people, moments, and images refuse to leave his mind.
What begins as a quiet, introspective account of anxiety and social invisibility slowly shifts into something darker. Memories resurface. Connections form. And the question becomes unavoidable.
Is noticing everything a gift - or a danger?
Written in a fragmented, stream-of-consciousness style, IMPERFECT is a psychological thriller that explores obsession, bullying, memory suppression, and the thin line between vigilance and fixation.
This is a standalone book and the first in the IMPERFECT collection - stories connected not by plot, but by a shared voice and unsettling way of seeing the world.
