When Shadows Rebel
Written by Crimson Talesmith
Summary:
19-year-old Reyan Malhotra is just an average college student—or so he thinks. With a sharp mind, a quiet demeanor, and a small, close-knit group of friends, Reyan’s life is a mix of lectures, cafeteria gossip, and late-night memes. His friends include:
Arjun, the loud extrovert who speaks before he thinks.
Meera, the mysterious artist who sketches creepy things she "sees in dreams."
Tanish, a wannabe influencer who somehow always captures the worst moments.
Niyah, the tech whiz who believes every conspiracy theory has some truth to it.
Things take a terrifying turn when Reyan discovers a dark figure that follows him... not behind him—but beneath him.
His shadow.
At first, it helps him. Scares off a group of bullies. Warms him when he's cold. Finds his lost notes. But soon, Reyan realizes the shadow doesn't just mirror him—it thinks. And more terrifyingly... it acts.
The blood-red grin on its face starts appearing more often, especially when Reyan is scared or angry. One night, during a heated argument, the shadow lashes out on its own—and someone ends up in the hospital. Reyan didn’t even move.
Now, the question is no longer "What is it?"
It’s: Who’s really in control?
And worse—what happens when the shadow wants more than just helping?
