Description

Reggie Van Fiddler strolls into the Midland Club with a carefree grin, ready to while away the afternoon over a series of cool drinks. The bar’s dim, masculine ambiance feels like a perfect backdrop for his relaxed reverie—until he notices a small, dark‑eyed stranger perched at the far end, watching him with an unnerving stare. The man's presence prickles Reggie's imagination, and as each sip slides down his throat, he spins wild theories, half‑serious, half‑comic, about secret agents and hidden threats.

Unable to shake the feeling that something is terribly off, Reggie makes a hasty exit, only to find the same mysterious figure waiting for him in the hallway, as if he had stepped out of the bar ahead of time. The encounter hints at a deeper, otherworldly mistake—perhaps even Death itself has misfiled his name. As the story unfolds, Reggie must confront a bizarre twist of fate that turns his ordinary day into a surreal chase with forces beyond his comprehension.
