Driftline Effect

Overview
Reality doesn't break. It rewrites itself.
Xander Axton remembers things the world insists never happened.
At first, the contradictions are small enough to dismiss. A detail out of place. A memory that no longer matches. Beneath the familiar rhythms of the city, a low hum begins to follow him-and the harder he tries to explain it away, the more impossible his surroundings become.
As the discrepancies accumulate, Xander begins to suspect that his perception isn't failing. Something is altering the terms of what can be perceived. And something else seems to recognize that he has noticed.
Nia and Kwame connect him to a life he still understands: friendship, intimacy, ordinary conversations, and the difficult work of letting himself be known. But as the boundary between internal experience and external reality grows unstable, those connections become inseparable from the mystery unfolding around him.
What does it mean to trust yourself when the world keeps contradicting your evidence?
Driftline Effect blends literary fiction, psychological science fiction, and creeping horror in a story grounded in Black identity, masculinity, and emotional interiority. Intimate and unsettling, it explores memory, perception, belonging, and the struggle to remain yourself when reality begins revising what that means.
