The Echo of My Face

The Echo of My Face

by Rhys Thorne

After a bitter divorce, Alex Mercer is left with nothing but an empty apartment and weekend visits from his daughter, Lily. He starts a YouTube channel to combat the crushing loneliness, filming himself building a drone. But when Lily returns from a visit terrified, describing a monstrous version of him that wanders the apartment at night, Alex's world begins to fracture. The true horror begins when a single comment on his video asks: 'Who’s that standing behind you?' Alex is about to discover he's not as alone as he thought, and his roommate wears his face.
