Becoming Stronger

After one too many drinks, Jason finds himself wandering onto a quiet beach just before sunrise-where he sees her.

A beautiful young woman, standing at the edge of the ocean, singing like the world around her doesn't exist.

Captivated, Jason tries to reach her... but before he can, everything goes dark.

When he wakes up in his bedroom hours later, there's no trace of her. No proof she was ever there.

But he can't forget her.

The sound of her voice. The way she stood in the water. The feeling that she was real.

As the days pass, Jason becomes consumed by thoughts of the mysterious girl. Was she real... or just a hallucination brought on by alcohol and drugs?

His friends insist she was nothing more than a drunken illusion.

But Jason isn't so sure.

And the more he searches for her, the more he begins to question not just that night-

but his own reality.

Will he find her again?

Or will the truth be something far more devastating than he ever imagined?
