The Architect of Echoes

The Architect of Echoes

by James Daniels

I'm a programmer, a man of logic. I built an app to fake ghosts, a masterpiece of digital deception. My mistake wasn't in the code; it was in my arrogance. I thought I was simulating whispers in the static, but I was building a bridge. I created a recursive loop that amplified a signal from beyond, giving it form, a voice, and a hunger. It took my best friend. Now, it wears his memories and whispers my name in the dark. I built its cage, and now I'm trapped inside with it.
