Fractured_Realities
"They all vanished without a trace-except for the note. 'I'm going home,' it said. But where is home when your mind is the one hiding the truth?"
In the quiet mountain town of Grayer's Hollow, disappearances are rare. So, when three people vanish within weeks, local authorities call in Dr. Elise Kaufman-a brilliant but reclusive forensic psychologist with a fractured past.
Elise doesn't remember the night her family died in a fire. She doesn't remember holding the matchbox either. But the victims are starting to look too familiar. And the notes they leave behind awaken a part of her she thought was buried for good.
As Elise delves deeper, one terrifying truth becomes clear: someone is recreating a version of "home"-and they need Elise to finish it.
A chilling psychological thriller about memory, identity, and the monsters we bury within.
Premise:
In a quiet mountain town, a reclusive forensic psychologist named Dr. Elise Kaufman is called to consult on a series of strange disappearances - each victim vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only a handwritten note that says, "I'm going home." The phrase triggers something in Elise - a deep-seated memory she can't fully recall.
Backstory and Trauma:
Years ago, Elise survived a house fire that killed her parents and younger brother. She claims to have no memory of the night, but the town whispers say she was found holding the matchbox. The event fractured her sense of self - a trauma so severe it splintered her personality. One half became the dedicated, rational doctor. The other - locked away - became obsessed with recreating "home" in its ideal form.
Twist:
As Elise investigates the disappearances, she uncovers eerie similarities between the victims and the people in her past. The final revelation comes with horror: the clues she's been following were planted by her dissociated alter - the one orchestrating the abductions in a twisted effort to rebuild the family she lost.
