À propos de cet e-book
Ten Years can measure a reign, a ritual, or a ruin. In this haunting tale, it maps a descent. This is not a story of a single world, but of the fracture between them—a narrative that lives in the gap between the word and its echo, the rule and its grotesque enforcement, the self you are and the self you must become to survive.
Follow the journey through a gilded and watchful power structure, where choices are made not in freedom, but in the stark silence of a locked room. Here, uniforms—blue, green, pale yellow—are more than cloth; they are the invisible scripts of power that decide your fate. Memory clings like a ghost, and the terrifying courage required to forget is the only way to live another hour, another day.
Told in a restless duality, the text moves between languages and states of being, between the stark clarity of instruction and the chaotic nightmare of its execution. In this mirrored labyrinth, the cages we build are often ornate, the selections we face are often silent, and the monsters are rarely the ones we are taught to fear.
Step into the arena. But be warned: the test is silent, unseen, and you may find it harder to leave than you think.
Notes et avis
À propos de l'auteur
SUMMER SAIF is a writer whose work exists in the liminal spaces between languages, cultures, and systems of control. Drawing from a deep fascination with folklore, gothic bureaucracy, and the psychological weight of power, their fiction explores the fractures within the self and the societies we build.
With a background that bridges the stark clarity of instruction and the chaotic nightmare of its execution, SAIF’s writing is a construct of many rooms—each one a mirrored labyrinth designed to unsettle and resonate. Their debut work is a testament to the belief that the most profound stories are often found in the gaps: between the word and its echo, and the person you are and the person you must become to survive.
SAIF lives in a place where multiple languages are spoken daily, and when not writing, can be found navigating the quiet, invisible scripts of everyday life. This is their first published work.
