The Beyonder

The story follows an Egyptian engineer working in the UAE, who recounts a period of his life when reality began to fracture around him. What begins as a mundane routine of site visits, project meetings, and solitary nights in a foreign city slowly unravels into something stranger and darker. It starts with an abandoned tower, a hidden elevator, and a woman's cryptic words: "Return it." Soon, symbols and patterns appear in unexpected places-on walls, in dreams, even in his own project documents-forcing him to question whether he is uncovering a mystery or creating it himself.
As layers of his identity blur, Main Character is caught between two possibilities: that he is the victim of something vast and unseen, or that he himself is its author. Each discovery pulls him deeper into a cycle he can neither escape nor fully comprehend.
