Sleep walkers by ani alanakian | Ani Alanakian

Sleep Walkers is a collection of psychologically driven short stories that explore the fragile boundary between reality and illusion, where human emotions unravel in silence and truth often hides beneath perception. Each story immerses the audience in deeply personal and unsettling experiences—moments where characters are forced to confront loss, identity, guilt, and the unseen consequences of their choices. From a sacred tree bound to human lives, to fractured identities, forbidden desires, and the haunting persistence of memory, these narratives move beyond conventional storytelling into a space where reality does not collapse randomly—it follows a pattern. Blending emotional depth with surreal, cinematic imagery, Sleep Walkers introduces Alanakian’s signature “Truth–Illusion” narrative style—where what is seen cannot always be trusted, and what is felt becomes the only reality. This is not just a collection of stories. It is an exploration of the human mind at its most vulnerable— where every silence carries weight, and every illusion serves a purpose.
