Semaj Ekim has spent years driving the long, empty highways of California-living between truck stops, bad coffee, and the quiet weight of a life that never quite came together. Then he dies.

He thought it was d???j??? vu. He was dying. Semaj Ekim has spent years driving the long, empty highways of California-living between truck stops, bad coffee, and the quiet weight of a life that never quite came together. Then he dies. And wakes up. Alive. One hour earlier. In a different version of reality. At first, it feels like luck. A second chance. Then it happens again. And again. Each death throws him into a new world-almost identical, but never quite right. Memories shift. People change. And something begins to follow him from one version to the next... learning, adapting, getting closer. What he thought was d???j??? vu is something far worse. Reality is breaking. And something is trying to fix it. As the worlds collapse into each other, Semaj is forced into impossible choices-who to save, who to leave behind, and how much of himself he's willing to lose just to keep moving. Because survival comes at a cost. And the longer he lives- the less human he becomes. A brutal blend of sci-fi and psychological horror, The Soft Thing is a haunting story about memory, identity, and the price of staying alive when nothing stays the same. Read Less
