Ward Nine

Behind locked doors and flickering lights, Ward Nine is where routine swallows reality and the line between patient and staff dissolves. A young man hears his name whispered in the night. A woman refuses her medication and finds herself replaced by a calmer version of herself. A nurse on endless night rounds discovers his name written in a book decades old. Meals never satisfy, visitors never arrive, and the quiet room is never truly quiet.

In this chilling collection of interconnected stories, each voice pulls you deeper into a psychiatric ward where time loops, hunger grows, and identity itself is a currency. Funny, bitter, and terrifying by turns, Ward Nine explores what happens when the institution becomes alive, and you can never be sure which side of the glass you belong to.
