The Other One

After her company’s Christmas party, Kelly Morgan wakes in her New York apartment with missing memories and messages from an unknown number.

Don’t lose me again.

She remembers a man named Rick. A dark sweater. A drink. A voice that felt strangely familiar. But no one named Rick appears in the company directory.

Then messages arrive with her phone in airplane mode. A broken laptop refuses to stay silent. And the sender knows things about her childhood she can barely remember herself.

When Kelly returns to Detroit for Christmas, the familiar house offers little comfort. Her family dodges her questions. Old photographs disturb her. And whatever has followed her home is getting closer.

To understand who is reaching for her, Kelly must uncover the past her family has kept hidden. But as her memories return, the people she loves begin to feel like strangers—and she can no longer trust what she sees in the mirror.

The Other One is a standalone psychological horror novella blending supernatural suspense, buried family secrets, and a haunting that follows its victim from the screen into the family home.
