Broken Night
In a world where reality bends and the line between dream and nightmare blurs, Emily, a reclusive writer, confronts a terrifying doppelgänger.

Is she a killer, or a victim of a reality far more twisted than anyone could imagine? Dive into a story where the psychological terror is as palpable as the paranormal, and the truth is buried under layers of secrets and distorted memories. Uncover the terrifying connection between Emily's encounter and Janice's harrowing confession before the 'Dream House' claims another victim.Emily Diamond, a writer whose last book brought her fleeting financial comfort, sat hunched over her keyboard, the cold coffee in her chaos-symbol mug a testament to her hours of fruitless toil. The morning sun, now high in the sky, mocked her lack of progress.
“Time for a refill,” she mumbled to herself, her voice echoing in the quiet apartment. Her last advance was dwindling, threatening a return to the ramen noodle diet of her past. As she reached the kitchen, a faint sound from the front door sliced through the Pink Floyd blaring from her speakers.
She paused, dismissing it as a trick of the music, but then it came again. A soft click. A subtle creak. Someone was in her house.
Her mind, accustomed to crafting narratives, quickly assessed the situation. No screaming, no shouting, no playing the victim. Instead, she grabbed a kitchen knife, its cold steel a comfort in her trembling hand, and crept towards the sound. What she saw made the knife clatter uselessly to the floor. Standing in her entryway, utterly still, was a woman. A woman who looked exactly like her.
“Hello,” the intruder said, her voice an unsettling echo of Emily’s own.
