A Rude Awakening
By: Eugene Marakou
Stan's child is gone. The voice on the other end is calm, methodical, terrifying. They have demands. They have a timeline. And they have one simple rule: No police. Or your child dies.
Racing against the clock, Stan plunges into a nightmare where every decision could be his child's last. The kidnappers' demands grow increasingly bizarre and impossible. Time is running out. Sleep becomes a luxury he can't afford. Paranoia creeps in as he realizes he's being watched, tested, manipulated.
But how far would you go to save the person you love most? And what happens when the game becomes more twisted than you ever imagined?
A heart-pounding psychological thriller that explores the darkest corners of a parent's love and the price of desperation.
Sometimes saving someone means losing yourself.
