He sells stories for pocket change.
Until the stories start answering back.

Felix Marrow survives on the margins of a glittering theme park empire, hustling tired tourists with whispered legends and forbidden tours. Once a legendary late-night radio voice, now a man sleeping on rooftops, Felix knows how to spin a lie so smooth it feels like truth.

When the story becomes real, who gets to survive the ending?
