Shadow Extract: The Streamer's Curse
When 18-year-old Mykal receives an unmarked package containing a sleek, unfamiliar phone, he thinks nothing of it, until he realizes he can’t get rid of it. No matter how many times he throws it away, drowns it, or even burns it, the phone always returns. Worse, it has no apps, no signal, and only 7% battery remaining.
Then he meets Kyne, another owner of the same cursed device, except Kyne’s battery reads 1%. He reveals the horrifying truth: the battery isn’t power, it’s a countdown. A timer measuring the years of life its owner has left. And when it hits zero? No one survives.
But the phone isn’t just a death sentence, it’s power. Anything Mykal searches for on its browser can be pulled into reality. Money, weapons, even supernatural artifacts. But power like this doesn’t go unnoticed. The black market, the government, and entities beyond human understanding want it and they’ll do anything to take it.
As Mykal is forced into a deadly game of survival, he must unravel the true purpose of the phone before his own countdown runs out. Because once it does… he won’t just lose his life, he might lose his very existence.
