What if the person you believe you are was built on a forgotten lie?
Banibratta Sarkar is a respected lawyer, content with his routine life-until an unusual encounter in a park with a curious woman begins to unravel everything he thought he knew. As their paths intertwine, Banibratta finds himself drawn into a world of eerie déjà vu, strange messages, haunting fiction, and a name from the past: Jayanta.
The Known Stranger is a psychological mystery about memory, identity, and the stories we bury deep within ourselves. When past and present collide, the truth may be more dangerous-and more familiar-than he ever imagined.

Bunny
Yoonji heard a car approaching their way. Her body moved itself closer to the dark alley and the mysterious figure in order to protect herself along with her stuff from any dirty rain water that may be splashed onto her. The car passed by behind her, but the headlights provided her even vision for Yoonji to fully see the gruesome scene that was happening literally a few meters away from her spot. In a couple of brief seconds Yoonji's mind registered 4 major things; 1) The guy was wearing a bunny mask and the two vertical things that she saw earlier pointing away from his head were actually the mask's ears. 2) The horizontal shape that the bunny masked guy was messing with was actually a girl around her age wearing the same uniform as her. 3) The girl's mouth and eyes were wide open in an unnatural way. Her eyes also looked like they couldn't see anything. 4) The Bunny mask was holding a now drippy bloody knife in one hand and a human arm in the other.

Dusk
The pale stars were sliding into their places. The whispering of the leaves was almost hushed. All about them it was still and shadowy and sweet. It was that wonderful moment when, for lack of a visible horizon, the not yet darkened world seems infinitely greater-a moment when anything can happen, anything you believed in. It's the most frightful time of the day-or evening. It's when all the monsters come out, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other unnatural things. But most people don't know it, they just go about their own businesses, frolicking around-not having a care in the world. It is in these times that they start to disappear. Distant screams, forbidding blood, creatures that lurk in the shadows. Within these shadows lies a deep legend that has been long forgotten...until now. Scarlett and her friends have been warped back into a horrifying legend that, to only one, was believed to be a myth. Now they must face the vicious creatures that dwell deep within the old library and murderous betrayals. With the stakes now higher than ever, one must choose between insanity and death. And what the hell is up with this blood oath that Scarlett is to repay? Their time now running out, they must survive until dawn and escape the accursed library for their own lives. But these creatures aren't going to let them easily go astray, dusk till dawn do they hunt, and they'll stop at nothing to make sure that no one sees the light of day again.Complete

Decadent
My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."Complete
