Prologue:
Ji Wei slew the deranged man stalking her.
She left the corpse hanging in her bedroom,
only to return from work the next day
to find it vanished. As she searched in vain, she looked up—
and met a pair of eyes staring down from the ceiling.
"Looking for me?"
A renowned entrepreneur met a bizarre end.
While the police were conducting inquiries,
they encountered a peculiar girl.
She sought help from the officers, confessing she had killed her stalker, but the body had disappeared.
Later, the corpse itself appeared before them,
dressed in a sharp suit, elegant and handsome, with a crimson mole on his nose like a drop of blood. He sat calmly in the interrogation room, verifying his identity. "We are lovers."
Who is lying?
A coin has two sides; human nature, good and evil.
A coin rolled across the table, stopped by a slender hand. "Heads or tails?"
"I choose you."
Between good and evil lies the balance of a standing coin.
About the Creator
Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

A Quandary in Quarantine
Chapter Two Most Monday mornings, I usually followed more or less the same routine. I would arrive at the library around 7:45 or 8:00 am, do a quick sweep of the reference department - which also housed our Adult non-fiction collection - for any obviously out-of-place materials, grab a book truck on my way past circulation, empty the book drop - which is usually full to overflowing after the library is closed all day on Sundays. Next, I take that cart back to circulation so the desk staff can work on getting those items checked in, then I head back to my desk in the reference area.
