Fragments of a Killer
X wakes up drenched in blood, his mind a shattered puzzle with no pieces to place. Haunted by fragmented memories and impulses he can't explain, he wanders through shadows, searching for himself. Then, he sees her-Honey. Sweet, vibrant, alive. She should be another name on his list, another body left behind. Yet, something about her halts his hand and quickens his pulse. Instead of striking, he watches. Instead of killing, he follows. Honey becomes his obsession, his beacon in a fog of blood and broken memories. But as he stalks her from the shadows, X feels echoes of his past clawing to the surface-dark whispers of who he was, and the monster he might be. Their lives entangle in a twisted game of cat and mouse, where danger dances on a razor's edge, and the line between predator and prey blurs. The closer he gets to Honey, the closer he comes to unearthing the truth about himself... and the harder it is to resist his deadly nature. - In a world of broken memories, the truth can be a killer.
