Winner of Specul8’s Final Flash Fiction Competition 2025.

Published online in full by Specul8 Publishing, and in print in Specul8’s Annual Christmas Collection 2025.




A psychologically charged flash piece examining identity, observation, and the cost of being truly seen. Through precision and compression, the story explores how 

systems meant to interpret us can instead distort, consume, or overwrite what they observe.
