His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.

ASPIRATION by iren_israr

In fictions of love and hate, love often wins, but why is there always a competition between the two in these fictions? A competition in which one tries its best to overpower the other, but in this process they forget each other's true value, right? And there are many people in this world whom we consider evil because of their bad personality and there are people who are really evil, but have we ever tried to look into their past to see if their personality in the present was shaped by their past? It raises thought-provoking questions: How do we define good and evil? Can one be born wicked, or are their past experience and circumstances the true shapers? Actually we should not interfere in someone's past life. But what if we get a chance to see someone's past to understand their personality? The short tale of "Aspiration" artfully highlights these concepts, where while exploring the story of a famous Detective, his wife, and a mysterious case, you will find yourself diving deeper to understand the past effects behind human personality. ┈━ ◇ ━┈ 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ᵇʸ ᴵʳᵉⁿ ᴵˢʳᵃʳ
