Karan Anand Shandilya

The Inverted City Karan Anand Shandilya

Plagued nightly by vivid, frightening dreams where a voice constantly antagonizes him, Aryan is certain someone is waiting for him in another dimension he has yet to discover. Soon, his inability to differentiate between reality and illusion causes him to question the fundamentals of the fragmented universe he is now dwelling in. Much to his discomfort, Aryan begins a journey where he precariously treads through various surreal paradigms within his already chaotic thoughts. As echoes of his past and future mingle, Aryan encounters various characters plotting to overthrow the control of his mind. Guided through his journey by the dreamy voice of Mila-the one he is meant to be with-Aryan battles negative ideologies and thoughts. But what Aryan does not know is that when dreams become reality, no one really knows who is master and who is slave. The Inverted City shares the tale of one man's quest to find his destiny as he walks a fine line between reality and illusion within a shadowy and disjointed universe.
