Thirteen Stories. Thirteen Keys. What Are You Unlocking?

“Why thirteen stories?”
I’ve been asked that question more times than I can count.

Thirteen isn’t just a number. It’s more than that. It’s a threshold, a symbol of imbalance, of tipping the scales. It’s the door that creaks open when you should’ve kept walking the other way. In The Unknown and The Unspoken, every one of the thirteen stories becomes a key — not just to unlock the characters’ fates, but to reveal something far larger, something that pulls the pieces together.

If you’re truly paying attention, you’ll start to notice things:

• Characters cross between stories.
  They may not realize it. They might not remember it happening. But their paths are far from complete.

• Symbols repeat.
  You’ll see a box. A circle. A time frozen on a clock’s face. Are they clues to something larger? Or perhaps they’re warnings of what’s to come?

• Time loops. Realities shift.
  Each story feels like a fragment, a piece of something shattered. Yet, it’s all part of something trying desperately to stitch itself back together.

The stories can stand alone. That’s true. But when you bring them together, they reveal something darker, something more unnerving. Something about what happens when we dare to step beyond the edge of what we know as real.

Read carefully. Read deeply.
You’re not just unlocking these thirteen stories.

You may just be unlocking something hidden within yourself.
