About this ebook
When Charlie, an affluent, award-winning photographer, catches sight of a glamourous man at a party and immediately forgets what he looks like, she has to see him again. And again. And again. Getting close to the eldritch stranger whose image evades her memory begins to take its toll, and as a bond forms between them, Charlie's obsession threatens to consume her. Is enforced separation the cure, or it already too late?
OVEREXPOSURE is a one-shot psychological horror short with Weird elements, which contains a scene of on-page self-mutilation, gore, and features mental health deterioration. Reader discretion is advised.

So, when she took his picture for the first time then immediately forgot what he looked like, she had to take his picture again. And again.
