About the Book
Elliott Reese, drowning in work and time-blind panic, takes his ADHD medication in a rented apartment that turns out to be a mechanism. Phrases stop being figurative and start manifesting physically. Behind a Victorian door lies a corridor of brass-plaque doors labeled with idioms, each opening into impossible rooms. The story escalates into a blend of investigation, dread, and moral trap as Elliott learns about the landlord who kept the archive stable for decades, and the cost of staying "functional" in this place.
