What Wears Me

Mira Voss died for four minutes in a lake three years ago. She came back breathing - but not alone. At first it was small things: hours she couldn't account for, a taste of copper she couldn't explain, dreams that felt more like memories than sleep. Then came the blackouts. Then came what she found when they ended. Something lives in the space behind her eyes now. It doesn't announce itself. It waits - for her weakest moments, her hungriest ones, the nights she wants to be touched, chosen, seen. That's when it moves closest to the surface. As bodies start appearing around the edges of her life, Detective Sarah Okafor begins pulling a thread that leads back to Mira. A priest who failed once before recognizes the signs and refuses to fail again. And a man who doesn't yet know what she is finds himself drawn to her in a way that feels less like falling in love and more like being chosen by something that isn't entirely her. What Wears Me is a slow-burn psychological horror about possession, desire, and the horrifying possibility that the thing wearing you might not be so different from what you already were.
