Four years ago, I was someone else – a girl lost in the neon glare of online casinos, my life a series of risky bets and dangerous encounters. I thought I’d left that world behind, burying it deep under a new identity and a quiet existence.
But the past has a long memory, and for some, a possessive one. His name was ‘Silas’ online, a phantom who won more than just chips from me; he took a piece of my peace. Now, he’s found me. Not through the digital trails I thought I’d erased, but in the flesh, in a moment so ordinary it feels like a twisted joke.
He remembers the games, but his ideas of winning have darkened into something terrifying. My quiet life is shattered, replaced by a desperate game of cat and mouse where the stakes are my very survival.
Can I outrun a ghost who knows my every secret, or am I destined to be his final, cruel jackpot?
How did this make you feel?
