Project Oxygen

Your life's a mess, your bank account is empty, and your family disowned you. So when your university offers a paid psychological experiment, you jump at the chance. What you don't expect is to run into the person who ruined your life or to be forced to live with a group of strangers in a bizarre reality show. This is Project Oxygen. This is how it ends: you can't remember what you did on January 14 or why there's a dead body in your living room.

The claps echoed through the cathedral as your sister, Stephanie Ford, and Aaron Harvey shared their first kiss as a married couple. Rose petals rained down from the ceiling, a detail they had insisted upon.

Trying to make yourself invisible in the crowd, you accidentally swallowed one of the petals. A choking cough escaped you, and your parents, Madeleine and Christopher Ford, shot you a sharp, warning look from across the aisle.

Their eyes, filled with a familiar blend of disappointment and contempt, met yours for a fleeting second. You gulped, covering your mouth with a tissue, and forced back the tears that stung your eyes. Not because of the rose petal, but because their gaze was a stark reminder of why you were here – a reluctant guest at your own sister’s wedding, a favor granted to Stephanie, not to you.

You knew you weren't welcome, just like the person who had briefly met your gaze – Jude Sargent. Both of you were here on borrowed time, under the pretense of celebrating love, while the weight of your past actions and family feuds hung heavy in the air.
