Ashes of a promise
When Arthur, a man crushed under the weight of failure, takes his last breath beside a forgotten city sidewalk, his life doesn't end.
It rewinds.
Moments before death, Arthur is thrust back into his five-year-old body — into the small home where dreams were drawn in crayon and promises were made between spoonfuls of soup. But now, the man inside the child remembers everything: the lies he told, the dreams he abandoned, the parents he couldn't save.
Given a second chance — or perhaps cursed with it — Arthur must navigate childhood again, this time carrying the full grief and knowledge of his lost adult life.
But can broken promises be mended with smaller hands?
Can a heart weighed down by failure ever feel light again?
And if fate gave him this gift... what does it want in return?
A haunting, poetic journey through time, memory, and redemption —
Ashes of a Promise explores what it truly means to go back,
when you already know how the story ends.
