Two days before an exam that could decide everything, a boy does what he has always done-
he studies, he counts time, he breathes through pressure.
And then, quietly, he disappears.
What he believes is a single bad dream becomes a world that refuses to let him wake up.
A neon city where time glitches.
Where the people he loves are visible-but impossibly far.
Where the ones who hurt him walk close, familiar, unchanged.
A man meets him there and says only one thing:
Move on.
Outside, six people sit beside a body that does not respond.
They don't know about the city.
They don't know about the fights.
They don't know that every small act of love-
a voice, a touch, a meal, a presence-
is keeping someone alive in another place.
Inside, trauma takes shape.
Stress hunts.
Anxiety multiplies paths.
Panic convinces him he has already lost.
And the final battle wears a face he recognizes.
If he fails, he dies in both worlds.
When he wakes, he doesn't wake to answers.
He wakes to home.
To a date that feels wrong.
To a life that continued without him.
This is not a story about winning.
It's about not disappearing.
Six Months Deep is a psychological, surreal novel about exams, memory, love, and the quiet violence of things left unsaid-
about surviving something before you know it happened.
