The Fourth Time You Died

Ibrahim wakes with blood beneath his fingernails, broken headlight glass in his coat pocket, and no memory of the night before.

By morning, the street is clean. There is no police report, no damaged car, and no evidence that anything happened.

Except for the photographs.

A stranger named Mara claims she watched him die at an Amsterdam junction only hours earlier. Worse, she says it was not the first time.

Whenever Ibrahim dies, reality rewrites itself and brings him back. Everyone forgets what happened.

Everyone except Mara.

As memories from lives he never lived begin surfacing, Ibrahim discovers that every correction comes at a cost. People disappear. Relationships change. Pieces of his identity are erased.

And somewhere in the future, a version of Mara is still rewriting the world to keep him alive.

Now the next correction is already beginning.

This time, Ibrahim must decide whether surviving is worth everything reality will erase to save him.
