📖 Story Description - Rush Hour Escape: The Shortcut Between Worlds In the heart of Mumbai, Ravi Mehta lives life in fast-forward-top telecom executive, master of efficiency, and a creature of routine. Every morning, he takes a narrow alleyway to shave ten minutes off his commute. But one day, as the sky fractures and whispers replace birdsong, Ravi takes a step into a shortcut that doesn't lead where it should. What begins as an ordinary rush hour becomes a descent into a surreal and shifting nightmare-a world of twisted shadows, impossible creatures, and doors that breathe. Pursued by something inhuman that speaks in broken signals, Ravi must run through a reality that no longer plays by the rules. He escapes-at least for a while. But memories are doors too. And some, once opened, never truly close. "Rush Hour Escape" is a psychological horror tale that blends urban life with the uncanny, where the mundane meets the monstrous-and forgetting may be the only way to survive. But what happens when the forgetting fails? Some shortcuts save time. Others take everything.
