Mathematically Sound

Lost in the labyrinth of numbers, lost in time, lost in space.

Somewhere in the white noise, a pattern is waiting to be solved.

A young mathematician, jet-lagged and disoriented after a flight to Tokyo, checks into a capsule hotel for what should be a simple overnight stay before an academic conference.

But in this hotel’s endless corridors of identical sleeping pods, something about the geometry just doesn’t add up.

A slow-building psychological horror flash story for readers who don’t mind getting lost in liminal spaces.
