Writer's Dilemma
Magic Or Logic? Believe what You Will
If you choose the supernatural, you’ve already lost.But explain it logically and the truth is yours to find.The difficulty is equal.And the choice is yours.Writer’s Dilemma is a psychological mystery wrapped in metafiction-a story that challenges the reader not simply to follow its protagonist, but to outthink him.It is a slow-burning thriller where the central mystery is not who did it, but what is being denied, forgotten, or misinterpreted. And the only rule it asks you to follow is this: Can everything be explained? Or is this the work of the devil?
Set in a dimly lit, almost-too-silent London, the story follows Mori Graves, a solitary mystery novelist whose latest work may be spiraling beyond his control. Known for writing brilliant but unsolvable plots, locked room still unsolved till this day, now finds himself inside one. But this time, the logic isn’t on the page-it’s in his home. In his habits. In the spaces between his memories.
It starts with something small:
A name he should remember.
A devil
A weird cat
His psychiatrist suggests fatigue. Creative burnout. Maybe even grief. But the more Mori tries to rationalize, the more
inconsistencies emerge-some subtle, some startling. And yet, nothing in this world is impossible although I wonder, Not one event breaks logic. There are no supernatural forces at play, but there could be if you waver. No spirits, if your eyes can’t see. No magic, if you believe realism. Every oddity maybe rooted in perception, psychology, and deeply buried truth. So why do readers feel like something else is happening? Why does the story feel haunted?
That question might be a trap.
Writer’s Dilemma dares the reader to engage as an active detective. Every scene is fair-play. Every clue is placed with precision. But like any true mystery, the danger isn’t in what’s hidden-it’s in what’s misunderstood. Believe too quickly in
ghosts, and you’ll miss what was really there.belive for a supernatural explanation, and you’ll already be lost.be ready to get your soul taken away be devil.
The narrative unspools with quiet intensity: long silences, subtle contradictions, glances that last too long, and dialogue that doubles as confession. From sterile therapy rooms to dim hallways, from recurring words to familiar strangers, the story builds a world that obeys every rule-while daring the reader to question each one.
This is a mystery of perception. Of memory. Of unreliable narrators especially the ones we become to ourselves. And while Mori searches for answers he may not want to find, the reader is offered all information to solve everything.
There are no solutions behind the curtain. No tricks. The mystery is solvable. Entirely. Logically. But solving it requires attention, scepticism, and the ability to see through story itself.This is not horror, though it may feel like it.This is not fantasy, though it may look unreal.This is not about supernatural fear.
This is about how terrifying truth can be when you’ve spent years hiding from it. In the end, Writer’s Dilemma is less about discovering what happened and more about uncovering what has always been happening. It’s about what the mind protects us from, what the narrative conceals in plain sight, and what the reader chooses to believe.
And you will have a choice.
Read passively, and you’ll miss it.
Blame the supernatural, and you’ll fail.
But pay attention – truly and you may find what even the writer forgot.
Without affection, its left unseen.
Nice One
