THE OTHERSIDE

At 2:13 AM, a boy receives a notification from an unknown sender. The message reads — "You have 5 minutes." Timestamped 2:18 AM. Five minutes in the future. What begins as a strange glitch spirals into something impossible — a knock with no one behind it, a live video feed from a camera that doesn't exist, and a mirror that shows his own face smiling back. Wide. Wrong. Waiting. As the countdown hits zero, he discovers the truth too late — the thing hunting him isn't a stranger. It's himself. Five minutes ahead. Already knowing everything that's about to happen. And somewhere in a dark room, another boy watches it all on a CCTV monitor — calm, composed — and presses Send. The cycle begins again.
