Chapter 1 – Midnight Scroll

Midnight. Accra.

In a dark room on a quiet campus, a blue screen glows.

Kwame has been scrolling for hours — videos, memes, arguments in comment sections.

Chapter 2 – The Noise

His room is silent, but his mind is screaming.

Twenty-two. Final year. A gifted speaker. A rising tech voice.

And quietly… crumbling.

The likes come fast. The emptiness comes faster.

Chapter 3 – The Voice

Then — a voice. Not from the phone. Not from the hallway. From inside.

“Kwame… can you hear Me?”

He tears off his earbuds. “Who’s there?”

Silence. He laughs it off. He needs sleep.

But it comes again, clearer: “The noise is killing you.”

Chapter 4 – The Glitch

His phone glitches — distorts — freezes.

On a black screen, three glowing words: “Come and see.”

Chapter 5 – The Power Cut

Then darkness. Total.

Yet outside his window, the campus still burns bright.

Only his world has gone dark.

Chapter 6 – The Pulse

A pulse — like a heartbeat, but not his own.

A ringing that tunes his very bones.

A wind through a locked window, whispering: “You are not awake. But you will be.”

Chapter 7 – The Mirror

Reality ripples.

In the mirror, his reflection is gone — replaced by a figure cloaked in light, walking a dry road beneath a crimson sky.

Chapter 8 – Transported

Kwame blinks — and the room is gone.

Barefoot in dust. An abandoned village.

Chapter 9 – The Warning

And on a cracked clay wall, words in charcoal: “What you choose here will follow you forever.”

To be continued…
