Do you feel it?
The Burden of Perception
A connected universe of suspense, dread, and ethical consequence.
​
Some people sense what others miss.
Some understand too much, too early.
And some reach the moment when waiting is no longer possible.
The Burden of Perception is a unified story told across three distinct series, each examining a different stage of responsibility. Together, they explore what happens when perception widens, knowledge delays action, and the world continues to decide without consent.
This is not a story about power.
It is a story about cost.
The Series
The Attuned
Perception breaks open.
Across the world, ordinary people begin to experience reality differently. Time bends. Sound carries meaning. Light reveals more than it should. No one knows why it’s happening, only that it is spreading.
The Attuned is about the moment awareness arrives, and the quiet terror of realizing that seeing more does not make the world safer.
The Anatomy of Knowing
Understanding becomes restraint.
​
In parallel, others begin to know. Not visions. Not prophecy. But a deeper, unbearable clarity about what is about to happen, who will be hurt, and when a decision must be made.
They hesitate.
They wait.
They try to be ethical.
​
The Anatomy of Knowing explores the damage caused not by ignorance, but by delaying action after the world has already asked for an answer.
The Last Necessary Act
Waiting ends.
​
When perception has widened too far and knowing has failed to authorize action, someone must decide without certainty, permission, or forgiveness.
​
The Last Necessary Act is a single-volume finale that examines authorship, responsibility, and the irreversible cost of acting in a world that will never confirm you were right.
