Brilliant slow burn that completly nails the reveal. The way the narrator justifies everything as normal relationship behavior while droppingall these red flags is masterful. That final line about finally introducing himself after five years living there hits like ice water. I had a moment halfway through where I thought maybe this was just about social anxiety but nope, way darker than expected.

Thank you so much for the comment and encouragement. I am exceedingly grateful this one could surprise a bit!
Yeah, that was pretty creepy! Nicely done.
Thank you, Steve! I am SO glad you enjoyed it.
