Description
An Aleatory is not a collection. It is a stratagem.
It is a collection of fragments that refuse to be categorized. Within these pages lie the lyrical remains of a university student’s obsession—poems of “negentropy” and “darkest hues”—neatly tucked beside clinical case files documenting absolute aphasia, mysterious vanishings, and the silent rustle of library aisles.
The book is structured as a psychological dossier, inviting the reader to step into the role of an investigator. You will navigate the “Early Correspondence,” where the motifs of a radium watch and the 10:45 hour first take root in the soil of a tragic romance. You will then confront the “Case Files,” where those same motifs transform into a “story-infecting” reality that blurs the line between fiction and felony.
There is no protagonist here—only a subject. There is no narrator—only a silver-haired ghost who insists that randomness is a mask for a much larger, invisible architecture.
An Aleatory challenges the very nature of storytelling. It asks: can a story be a parasite? Can a memory be a trap? And when the storm begins to swell and the pages start to rustle, will you be the one observing the silence, or will the silence finally take your shape?
In this game of chance, the only way to win is to stop reading. But the stratagem has already begun
About The Author
Sai Adhrit Singh is a collector of shadows and silent moments, specializing in the architecture of the human psyche. Like the protagonist of An Aleatory, he possesses a fascination with the “guilt-frozen hours” of life—those seconds where time seems to stand still. With a background in weaving lyrical poetry into clinical horror, the author explores the thin line between love and obsession, memory and infection. He currently resides in the spaces between the raindrops, likely checking a watch that stopped at 10:45.
