Boredom. A slow, suffocating poison. For Ken Swinburne, a 27-year-old salaryman, it's not just a passing phase-it's his entire existence. Every day is a monotonous loop of mind-numbing work, silent resentment, and drowning his misery in cheap alcohol. He had no way to escape this hell, and he's already given up on trying.
Until he remembers the dead body in his bathroom.
Routine is shattered. A secret festers behind his locked door. As the days stretch on, paranoia tightens its grip-who was watching? Who knew? More importantly... how much longer until his past catches up with him?
Ken thought he was already dead inside. But now, something is hunting him in the darkness, and this time, there's no escape.
⚠️ A mind-bending mystery thriller filled with suspense, dark humor, and unexpected twists.
