The Observer - Ahlijah Collins

Marcus Hudson thought prison was the system, a place where freedom gets taken and life is put on hold. When he gets out, something feels off. People appear at the exact right moments, conversations feel rehearsed, and opportunities come too easily, like they were placed in front of him.

The more he pays attention, the harder it becomes to ignore. Patterns start to form. Situations repeat. It begins to feel like his life isn't unfolding naturally, but being guided by something he can't see.

As Marcus pushes deeper, he starts to question whether his choices are really his own, or if every step has been shaped long before he ever made it.

The Observer is a psychological thriller about control, perception, and what it means to realize your reality may not belong to you.
