Fiction
In this episode of Whispers of Tess, the world around Tess begins to fracture as she wakes to a reality that feels too vivid to be real. After sketching the man by the river, something stirs — an echo she can’t explain, a presence she can’t ignore. As her thoughts spiral between dream and memory, Tess finds herself caught in a haunting loop of creation and consequence. Is the river merely a reflection of her mind, or has something — or someone — crossed over from the sketch into her waking world?
