Always 3,417

Always 3,417

by Ralph Kim

In a town where nothing ever changes, Eli discovers a horrifying truth at 3:17 AM: reality itself is a lie. Houses vanish, friends are replaced, and a hungry fog whispers his name. An ancient entity keeps the town's population at exactly 3,417, and now it knows Eli can see the seams of its world. He must unravel the town's curse before he becomes the next replacement, or worse, a willing part of the nightmare. For in Hollow's End, you don't die. You're just rewritten.
