THE WEIGHT OF WINNING

(A man cursed to win every game, every bet, every moment, until his endless victories become humanity’s downfall and his own private hell)

What if winning was the most terrifying thing that could ever happen to you?

Sam Carver was ordinary, a middle-aged office worker with a failing jump shot, an empty apartment, and a life quietly slipping through his fingers.
Then, one night, everything changed.

He started to win.
Every shot. Every game. Every deal.
Luck followed him like a shadow he could never shake.

At first, it felt like salvation, the adoration, the money, the fame. But as Sam’s streak continues, the wins come faster, harder, stranger. His friends turn on him. His body trembles under invisible pressure. Strangers worship him as a living miracle, while others call him a curse on humanity itself.

And when the world begins to unravel, riots, violence, death, Sam learns the truth about his gift: he can’t lose. Not ever.

But what’s left of a man who can no longer fail? When every outcome bends in his favor, does he still exist, or has the world already claimed him as something else entirely?

The Weight of Winning is a psychological horror of inevitability, a chilling descent into a world where success itself is the monster, and victory is the only way to die slowly.
