Tape 4 - The Passenger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jack Hanson starts to lose control. Not all at once. Not violently. Just... piece by piece. The gaps in his memory aren’t just getting longer; they’re starting to feel intentional. Moments that don't belong to him. Places he doesn't recognize. Decisions that don't feel like his. A growing sense that something else is moving when he isn't.

And the more he tries to piece things together, the more it feels like he’s chasing something just out of reach. So he does the only thing he can think to do. He starts recording everything. “The Blackouts”
