The Story

TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCE

 

Annie is an average New York twenty-something who enjoys Netflix, spending time with her cat and scrolling through social media more often than she would admit.

 

 

Like many millennials, Annie can’t help but mentally criticize the perfectly curated photos she sees online. She’s particularly bothered by women who have something she wants.

 

 

 

Annie soon discovers that her negative thoughts about these women result in physical attacks against them. That woman who Annie thought had the most unreal smile?

 

 

 

 

Now that woman has lost her front teeth and is left with a broken lip.

 

 

 

Once Annie realizes the power of her thoughts, she panics and consults her astrologist extraordinaire friend Zoe. Zoe believes Annie’s jealousy is manifesting in a violent manner and urges Annie to focus on controlling these thoughts through mindfulness. Annie intends to comply, but quickly begins using her thoughts to assault women on purpose for her own gain and amusement.

 

 

 

Will Annie be able to escape the destruction of her own mind before it’s too late?
