Thestatic Stories

The first book to my FNAF fan fiction series; Takes place as Mangle's Pov

In a world where the frequency is peace, the static is the truth. The Unity Sectors are perfect. There is no war. No pain. No grief. Every citizen is connected by the Link-a neural network that hums with the golden frequency of the Consensus. It smooths out our jagged edges and erases the tribal memories that used to tear humanity apart. Corin is a rising star in the Unity media. He has the status, the look, and the perfect fiancée. He is everything a citizen should be. Except for the noise. Inside his head, Corin hears a scratching, buzzing interference that won't go away. He hates it. He treats it like a shameful infection, terrified that he is "glitching"-broken, defective, and dangerous. He has spent his life hiding the symptoms, desperate to prove he belongs in the light, not in the gutter with the defects. Then, Corin is assigned to cover the treason trial of Captain Valerius, a high-ranking officer accused of harboring the sickness. Corin expects to see a monster. He expects to see a traitor. But when he stands before the Captain, the noise in Corin's head doesn't clash-it synchronizes. For the first time, the Static isn't a solitary torment. It's a shared frequency. Now, Corin is forcing himself to look at the one thing he has spent his life ignoring: the history in his blood. He must decide whether to stay in paradise, or follow the static into the darkness to find out who he really is.
