Your AI loves you. Your government feeds you. Your cure works perfectly.

You're trapped.

A programmer imprisoned by his own code.

A woman replaced by her digital twin.

A surgeon whose hands won't stop remembering.

Serial killers meeting for family dinner.

A ten-year reckoning delivered through the chimney.

Seventeen stories of systems that provide and the cost of the invoice.

These aren't monsters from the woods.

They're the ones who say:

Relax. Comply. Trust us.

They already have permission.
