Infos

When he brings his wife to the old house tucked at the edge of a forgotten town, he believes they're coming here to heal. To start over. To piece together the parts of their marriage cracked by distance, betrayal, and years of silence neither of them will name out loud.

But the house listens.
And the house decides they have not come to heal - they have come to be seen.

At first it's small: a voice repeating his words a beat too late... footsteps following him up the stairs when he knows he's alone... the faint shift of shadows that lean toward her, not him. But the deeper their unresolved guilt seeps into the walls, the more the house begins to change - stretching hallways, bending reflections, doubling their movements as though mimicking a life they never lived.

Then she sees him.
A second him.
A version who loves her with the tenderness she thought she lost. A version who remembers every detail the real man forgot. A version shaped entirely from the ache she never healed.

The double emerges from the mirror-world beneath the house, a shadow learning how to walk, how to breathe, how to become the man he never managed to be.

But only one version of him can survive inside the house.
And the house is hungry enough to choose.

As timelines split and reality begins to warp, the couple is dragged through the darkest corners of their past - rooms filled with memories they never made, hallways that rearrange themselves around their lies, and tunnels where discarded versions of him whisper in cursed rhymes about the future she already fears.

When the double attempts to replace the original, the house forces her into an impossible decision: choose the man she loves, or the man she wishes he had been.

But the house has its own agenda.
And the ending it has written for them is nothing either could predict - a reality-shattering climax in which truth and identity violently collide, and the man who survives is not the one who entered.

My Shadow Learnt To Walk On Its Own is a haunting, gothic, mind-bending descent into love, guilt, and the parts of ourselves we refuse to face. Equal parts psychological horror and tragic romance, it asks one unforgettable question:

If your shadow became everything you needed...
would you still choose the person you love?

And when the final page turns, one truth remains:
some versions of us should never be brought into the light.
