About This Book

A man wakes from a vivid nightmare to find a baffling gap in his memory and physical evidence that time has passed; ordinary objects and a blank tape hint at erased intervals. Overwhelmed by mounting paranoia, he flees his apartment when an intense incendiary flash nearly destroys the room, then is singled out by a pursuer, setting off a street chase. The narrative follows his disorientation, sensory details, and escalating attempts to escape unseen forces, exploring themes of memory loss, suspicion, and survival under sustained psychological pressure.
