Eight Realities, One Life, No Rewind
by Jeffrey Simmons
Eight realities. One life. No rewind.
What if every choice you didn’t make still existed somewhere?
Jack Mercer has built his life around safety—predictable routines, cautious decisions, and the quiet belief that avoiding risk also avoids pain. But when a mysterious device containing eight discs appears, Jack is pulled into alternate versions of his life—realities shaped by the choices he walked away from.
Each disc unlocks a different world.
Some reveal the success he never chased.
Others expose the love he was too afraid to fight for.
And some show the devastating cost of choosing comfort over courage.
As Jack moves between these realities, the lines separating them begin to blur. The discs aren’t experiments. They’re warnings. And time is running out.
