Silhouettes

On June 23rd, 2018, the world changed with a social media post. An account called @nobody0230845236 appeared on Omnia without warning. Everyone followed it, but nobody remembered doing so. Attempts to access the profile led nowhere. The only thing it posted was a short message:

"You've mistaken the surface for the truth."

Attached was a video of a skeletal figure rocking silently beside a fireplace, its glowing eyes fixed somewhere beyond the screen. Hidden within the footage were details no one could fully explain, drawing thousands of people into an online obsession that consumed the internet for weeks before eventually fading into the background.

Everyone moved on.

Except Asher Roberts.

Five years later, Asher is still searching for answers, unable to shake the feeling that something about the video was deeply wrong.

At the same time, his younger cousin, Luke Roberts, struggles to navigate high school and life with an extra chromosome awhile becoming entangled in a mystery of his own.

Neither of them realizes that something bigger than them had already begun centuries ago.
