Clementine

Clementine is a psychological thriller that delves into the fragility of identity, trust, and the boundaries of reality. The story follows Elena and Caleb, a couple bound by a simple yet meaningful nightly ritual: saying the code word Clementine at exactly 9:00 PM, a moment that symbolizes their connection and serves as an anchor in their shared life. But when Caleb begins to deviate from this ritual—subtly at first—Elena’s world starts to unravel. The once-familiar becomes strange as Elena notices changes in Caleb’s behavior, their routines, and even her own surroundings. His casual dismissal of these discrepancies only heightens her unease. At first, the shifts seem minor—a misplaced word, a subtle change in demeanor—but as the days progress, they become undeniable. It isn’t just Caleb who feels different; it’s everything. Her friends, her family, even her own sense of self appear fractured, as though reality itself is shifting out of place. Elena’s search for answers leads her to question whether Caleb is the one who has changed—or if it is her. As she pieces together the growing inconsistencies, she discovers a chilling possibility: she may not be in her world at all. Through
