The Third Minute by ProudMommy0321
1-00

When Zoe receives a mysterious phone call from her own number at exactly 3:03 a.m., she's thrust into a chilling encounter with a voice that sounds exactly like hers—warning her to flee her apartment. Dismissing it as a glitch or a nightmare, Zoe hesitates, only to find her world slowly unraveling. Shadows move where they shouldn’t, footsteps echo inside her locked apartment, and a doppelgänger wearing her face appears with a cryptic message: You didn’t leave.

As the lines between reality and something darker blur, Zoe must uncover what happens in the minute after 3:03—and what waits for her on the other side. A psychological horror short that explores identity, time, and the terrifying possibility of being replaced by yourself.

As Ava tests the boundaries of its power, the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur. The book knows her desires... and her fears. And it’s hungry.

Both now separated from their former partners and parents to children of their own, Medusa and Triton are given another chance at the love they were once denied. But as old wounds heal, dark forces rise from the depths—determined to keep them apart. In a world where myth and magic collide, can love truly conquer all?
