Spiral

<p>One watch. One turn. One unraveling.</p><p>When grieving son Charlie Virellan uncovers a centuries-old pocket watch in his mother's attic he doesn't expect it to tick-let alone tick backward.

The past becomes pliable.</p><p>What begins as a second chance quickly becomes a curse.</p><p>Each correction births deeper distortions-forgotten conversations vanished people haunted reflections. Even time itself begins to bleed. And at the center of it all is Evelyn a chilling woman who knows too much about Charlie the watch and the choices he's yet to make.</p><p>As cryptic letters from his dead mother arrive posthumously and as loved ones begin to forget-or fear-him Charlie finds himself at the mercy of a force older than time and more seductive than love. But the watch has a rule of its own:</p><p>Every fix has a cost. Every version of you breaks something else.</p><p>If he can't outrun the spiral he may not just lose his life.</p><p>He may lose his story.</p><p> </p><p>Charlie Virellan<br>A thirty-nine-year-old man adrift in grief and regret.

Even in death her voice returns through handwritten letters warnings and memories that may or may not be real.</p><p>Matt Drelan<br>Charlie's childhood best friend. Loyal. Crude.
