Till Death Do We Start

She thought it was sound.
Just frequencies. Just interference. Just something broken in the equipment-
or in her.

Until reality started responding back.

Lexi can hear something no one else can.

But what's worse than hearing it...

is that something is listening.

The world around her is beginning to shift in impossible ways.
Time stutters.
Light hesitates.
Glass fractures before it should.

And silence no longer stays silent.

But Lexi isn't the only one noticing the changes.

Something else is watching her.

Not human.
Not alive in any way she understands.

It does not think like people do.
It does not feel the way living things should.

And when it first sees her-

it sees something it has never encountered before.

Color.

Now the boundary between them is collapsing.

And the more reality bends around Lexi's existence...

the more something impossible begins changing with her.

Because this isn't a glitch.
It isn't hallucination.
And it isn't staying hidden.

Something outside the rules has started paying attention.

And even Death (the grim reaper) is beginning to change.
