THE REWRITE OF REALI

Ethan Cole wakes up to a familiar, yet utterly wrong, reality. His apartment, his routine, his entire life feels like a cheap knock-off of what it should be. The TV blares news reports that contradict his memories. A commercial for a coffee brand he's never heard of but inexplicably *knows* throws him off balance. He tries to cling to the familiar, searching for his old coffee mug, only to find a new, sterile one in its place. The world is subtly, horrifyingly different, and only he seems to notice. His attempts to make sense of it are met with confusion and concern from his girlfriend, Sarah, who dismisses his increasingly frantic claims. As his grip on reality frays, Ethan becomes convinced he's not just disoriented, but that the world itself has been rewritten, leaving him as the sole witness to a terrifying, silent correction.
