Chapters

  1. 1The Overdue ConfessionJack Herby, a meticulous small-town librarian, discovers a handwritten confession tucked inside a long-overdue copy of 'The End of All Things' by a local author. The confession speaks of a cataclysmic event and a man named John Welber, immediately piquing Jack's quiet curiosity.
  2. 2Digital WhispersIntrigued by the cryptic message, Jack uses his Chromebook to search for 'John Welber' and 'world ending'. His search leads him to a bizarre, obscure website detailing a localized prophecy of the world's end, eerily connected to John Welber.
  3. 3The Local LinkAs Jack delves deeper, he uncovers old news reports and local forum discussions that inexplicably link the prophecy and John Welber to his own small town, transforming his initial amusement into a growing sense of unease and personal involvement.
  4. 4Shadows of the PastJack begins to investigate John Welber, discovering the man was a former resident with a troubled past, whose family had a history of unusual beliefs. He starts to wonder if the confession is a deranged fantasy or a chilling warning.
  5. 5The Impending DeadlineWith the prophecy's 'end date' rapidly approaching, Jack finds himself in a race against time. He must decide whether to dismiss the entire affair as a hoax or confront the possibility that a real danger, perhaps even to John Welber himself, is looming.
  6. 6A Librarian's StandJack, driven by a newfound sense of responsibility, takes action to prevent the prophecy's fulfillment or to warn John Welber, even if it means risking his own reputation and safety, ultimately facing the unpredictable consequences of his discoveries.

    The man in Nathan’s bedroom mirror looks about forty. He has Nathan’s eyes, a scar across his mouth, and a room behind him that looks exactly like Nathan’s—except everything is old. He says he’s Nathan, twenty-five years from now. At first, proving it is easy. He knows where Nathan lost his phone. He knows the questions on tomorrow’s exam. He even warns him about an accident before it happens. Then he asks Nathan for a favor. It’s something small. Something Nathan can do without anyone noticing. But afterward, a photograph on his dresser changes. His mother remembers a conversation they never had. A boy at school insists they’ve been friends for years. The man says these changes are normal. They mean Nathan’s future is getting better. Yet with every favor, the room inside the mirror looks a little newer. The man looks a little younger. And Nathan’s mother has started watching her son with an expression he doesn’t recognize. Last night, he heard her whisper to his father: “He’s doing it again.”
