Smash That Like

A psychological horror novella by Frank Crawford

It started as a joke. A desperate stream. A way to stay relevant.

Ashley Rae—“Ace” to her followers—thought she’d seen the worst of internet fame: burnout, harassment, bankruptcy. But the night she launched a gimmicky “you donate, I obey” stream, she got a new subscriber.

One who didn’t stop.

One who made demands.

Every command came with a tip. Every dare more violent than the last.

And Ace, drunk on viewership and dopamine, kept going—until she couldn’t stop.

Because something else was watching. Not just her stream. Her.

What begins as performance spirals into a live-streamed nightmare, where pain equals profit, and fear is just more content.

The camera never cuts. The donations never stop.

And Ace is just one more click from going viral forever.

For fans of Black Mirror, The Ring, and survival horror in the digital age.

This novella contains graphic violence, body horror, and psychological distress. Listener discretion is advised.
