The Phantom Beast

By: Kevin Broas, K.G. Broas

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Part of The Seers Trilogy.
Recovered from the journals of an unnamed boy.

Something is wrong in Watsonville. Jake feels he is losing his mind.

His best friend should be dead.
He watched him fall from the sky.
And some things, once seen, do not let go.

The world cracked that night. It has never been the same.

Johnny survived a cave collapse that killed everyone else. When he came back, he could see strands of energy woven through reality. He insists Jake can learn to see them too.

And now dreams bleed into daylight. Memories shift when no one is watching. Beneath their quiet town, something vast has noticed them. It flickers in the shadows, whispers in their minds, and waits for them to remember.

As Jake and his friends search for answers, they uncover a hidden layer of reality. A place where perception shapes power and every gift demands a cost. Friendships strain. Innocence fractures. Curiosity turns dangerous.

Because seeing too much changes you.
And once you notice the seams, there is no way to stop pulling.

The truth is not just stranger than he thought. It may cost him everyone he loves.
