The Other Him

From Zia, author of Vermilion and psychological fiction including The Error of Want and The Weeks Between Us.Every day feels the same.Wake up. Go to work. Come home. Repeat.For a supermarket worker, life has narrowed into routine - fluorescent lights, short conversations, and the slow erosion of anything that once felt like a self.Nothing dramatic. Just repetition until it starts to feel permanent.Then something doesn't align.He begins to lose track of what has actually happened, and what has simply been recorded as if it did.Shifts blur. Time fractures. Familiarity becomes unreliable.Exhaustion turns into paranoia.Paranoia turns into violence.Not as a choice - but as a collapse of restraint.The Other Him is a psychological descent into routine, identity, and quiet collapse - where repetition itself begins to replace reality.If nothing around you changes, what does it mean when you do?
