Don't Step on the Cracks
You've probably felt it before, haven't you? That split-second thought. The what-if.
Student Graham Stride has spent his life battling a relentless tsunami of what-ifs-intrusive thoughts and compulsions that loop endlessly through his mind, each one more absurd than the last. From avoiding cracks in the pavement to imagining disasters at every turn, his OCD shapes the rhythm of daily life. As he stands on a train station platform on the morning of his final university exam, the weight of his struggles threatens to consume him. But today is different. Today, everything is on the line.
With graduation looming, Graham must prove to himself that he is more than his fears. But a reckless night takes a dark turn-drinks spiked, memories fractured, and thefts-he spirals into paranoia. What really happened? Who can he trust? And worst of all, was he involved?
As exams, friendships, and long-buried feelings for the unattainable Alice collide, he must confront the biggest question of all: What if he finally takes control?
Darkly funny, raw, and utterly compelling, Don't Step on the Cracks is an unflinching look into the mind of a young man fighting against himself in a world that doesn't see the battle. A story of obsession, anxiety, and the small moments of defiance that can change everything.
