Smokin' Mirrors

De: Theodore Lee

Narrado por: Justin Mills

Ace Shades has since retired from a life of high-octane adrenaline as a self-proclaimed detective and now lives a life of suburbia with his partner and ex-psychiatrist, Beth Embers, and their nearly five-year-old son. Except the simplicity of suburban life doesn't come naturally to a man once defined by madness, and Ace finds himself haunted by echoes of his past—phantoms of a narrative that refuses to let go. As he strives to be a devoted partner and father, as well as a better person altogether, the boundaries between his current reality and past self begin to blur. When fragments of his former life start resurfacing in unexpected ways, Ace is forced to question the authenticity of his newfound normalcy. Are these mere coincidences, or is there a deeper undercurrent pulling him back into a world he had thought he left behind?

In a tale where reality and fiction intertwine, Ace must navigate the delicate balance between who he was and who he aspires to be, all while safeguarding the life he's built from unraveling. Within a genre-defying tale that melds thrill, introspection, and a touch of the surreal, Ace Shades embarks on a journey that challenges the very essence of his existence. Can he break free from the narrative's grip, or is he destined to play his role to the very end?
