It Watched Me
A used car salesman gains control over others' thoughts and alters World War II history.
Walker Henderson works in the used car industry until an accident gives him an object that controls inner voices. This power disrupts his mundane existence and forces him to confront the limits of free will. The narrative follows how this ability impacts not just his life but the course of World War II. Brown uses this premise to examine the erosion of personal autonomy. The story moves from individual psychological struggle to global historical revisionism. It does not offer easy answers about morality but presents a scenario where one person’s choices rewrite reality. The focus remains on the mechanism of control and its far-reaching consequences for society and history.
Published in 2023 by Open Kimono Publishing, this work sits within contemporary speculative fiction. It draws on the tradition of alternate history narratives while exploring modern anxieties about autonomy and control in everyday life.
