Pareidolia Stories

It's called pareidolia, where you see faces in inanimate objects, except the faces I see talk. The faces in the trees, the walls, the ceiling - they talk to me. Sometimes I hear whispers in the dark and I know there's a face hiding in the bookshelves. They're under the couch, in the carpet, whispering - snickering.

a short story about pareidolia... Pareidolia is when our brain recognizes shapes or faces in things that aren't really people or objects, like seeing animals in the clouds or a face in an outlet. After the tragic death of her beloved Jeremiah, a girl haunted by grief begins to see his face everywhere-in shadows, reflections, and city lights. Her mind, shaped by pareidolia, blurs the line between fantasy and reality as she searches for signs he may have left behind. In a city where the modern and the mystical collide, she discovers that love doesn't always die-it lingers in whispers, in echoes, and in the spaces between. A heart-wrenching, metaphorical journey through loss, memory, and the fragile magic of believing someone isn't truly gone.
