Before dawn, a woman wakes into a world that feels slightly out of place—too quiet, too still. A trembling black spot appears outside her window, then inside her room, crawling across walls, slipping through the skin of the house as if reality itself is thinning. As she follows its silent path, fragments of Shayan, the love she fears she’s losing—perhaps has already lost—return in impossible ways.
Is she dreaming? Falling apart? Or being called toward a truth hiding outside the edges of time?
Through the Clock is a surreal journey into fear, longing, and the fragile hope that the heart might bend reality to bring back what it misses most… even when the cost is terrifying.
