Not my blood.

The police found me standing over a body in an abandoned warehouse, my memory wiped clean. The victim—a famous novelist—had been stabbed precisely 17 times, matching the MO of the infamous "Silent Poet Killer" from five years ago.

Problem? That killer was caught and executed.

Detective Chen leaned in, his breath reeking of cigarettes. "You wrote about this murder in your unpublished manuscript. Word for word." He slid a folder across the table. Inside was my handwriting describing the crime scene... before it happened.

Chapter 2: The Second Victim

They released me due to lack of evidence. That night, I received a text:

🔹 "Game Rule #1: Remembering means dying."

The attached photo showed the next victim—my therapist—tied up in her office. The timestamp? In two hours.

I arrived too late.

Her corpse sat neatly at her desk, a single post-it on her forehead:

🔹 "You forgot our deal, Dr. Lin."

My phone buzged again—this time with a voice memo. My own voice whispered: "If you’re hearing this, you’ve already lost."
