The Man Who Wasn’t Me" is a dark psychological thriller that blurs the line between memory and madness. When a man wakes in a storm-struck night to a series of terrifying events — a crying child, a shadow under his bed, and a masked figure stalking the darkness — he believes he is fighting for his life. But when he opens his eyes in a hospital, nothing he remembers seems real. No dog. No child. No mother. Not even the night he thinks he survived.
As the truth spirals out of reach, he begins reliving fragments of a murder he may or may not have committed. Each memory contradicts the last, each revelation splinters his identity further, and the masked figure haunting him grows harder to ignore. Soon, he must confront the possibility that the killer he’s searching for has been much closer — and much deeper — than he ever imagined.
Haunting, atmospheric, and relentlessly tense, this novella pulls readers into a fractured mind where every answer opens the door to another lie.
In the end, only one question remains: Who woke up — the man, or the version of him built to survive?
