In 1700s Paris, fire wasn’t just a danger — it was a sentence. In this immersive historical journey, we follow the grim, slow unraveling of a survivor who endures not only the flames, but the brutal medicine, social rejection, and haunting aftermath that follows. Told from the second-person perspective, this story plunges you into the agony, isolation, and endurance of life after surviving something you were never meant to.

This is not a story of triumph. It’s a story of surviving survival.

Perfect for fans of dark historical storytelling, sleep-friendly narration, and unsettling realism. Turn down the lights, settle in, and prepare to descend into one of the quietest horrors history forgot.
