Stranded in Arcady

Prime wakes on a sand‑spooned shore, his mind a jumble of half‑remembered lights and clothes still on. Beside him, a bewildered young woman with slate‑gray eyes shares the same puzzling gap in memory, both convinced they fell asleep in Quebec just hours before. The lake’s glittering surface and the encircling forest offer no clues, only the odd assortment of canned food, a flitch of bacon and a battered frying pan that seem to have materialised with them.

Together they set out to make sense of the bewildering landscape, testing the limits of their wits and the fragile supplies they’ve found. Their uneasy partnership grows as they question whether they are victims of a prank, a supernatural mishap, or something far stranger. Amid the rustle of pine and the distant, unseen shore, every step becomes a quiet struggle for answers and for a way back to a world they no longer recognize.
