Starlings

I used to think I was just anxious, until the shelving unit collapsed. Since then, I’ve been remembering things that haven’t happened yet.

I’m telling this because tonight feels different. For six months I’ve been living with these “glitches” - memories of futures that haven’t arrived, flashes of grief for strangers I’ve never met, the bone‑deep certainty of disasters that sometimes happen and sometimes don’t. My wife thinks I’m spiralling. The doctor thinks I’m delusional. But the copper smell is back, the power is out across the block, and the air feels heavy, like the world is holding its breath.

If the world is unchanged by morning, then I’m just another man who lost himself in the dark. But if it isn’t… you’ll understand why I had to tell this.

If you’re drawn to apocalyptic dread, psychic‑glitch horror, or stories where the future presses in from the edges of the present, press play.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
