An Autofiction by Someone

Rakmi N. K. Kou

An Autofiction by Someone is a moody, self-aware podcast that blurs the line between truth and fiction. Each episode follows Someone as they navigate memory, identity, ambition, and creative struggle in a world where the personal is always a performance. Real stories become fictionalized. Fiction feels more honest than fact. This is for anyone who overthinks everything and calls it storytelling.

    I Woke Up Knowing Something I Shouldn't

    The feeling of being watched has evolved into something stranger. She wakes one morning with a piece of specific, trivial knowledge lodged in her mind—something she has no reason to know.

    The Strangers Started Keeping Score

    The digital companion is gone, but the unease remains, amplified. He feels watched. Not just observed, but evaluated. The neutral glances of strangers in queues, on the street—they feel weighted, as if tallying points for every fumble, every hesitation. Is it paranoia, or has the audience just become invisible scorekeepers in a game he doesn't understand?

    The Replay Didn't Match the Feeling

    He keeps replaying it. A simple conversation from earlier today. The memory itself seems to fray, leaving him unsure not just of what was said, but of what was felt. His own mind has become an unreliable narrator of his immediate past.

    My Perception Started Feeling Edited

    The distinct sightings have mostly stopped. Now, it's different. A change in the texture of the day. A feeling that precedes small disruptions. Not seeing him clearly anymore is somehow more unsettling. She starts to wonder if the presence isn't external, but something woven into the fabric of her own perception, glitching along with her memory.

    I Was Sure I Saw Him Board the Wrong Train

    Years pass. She's navigating adulthood, commutes, new cities. Then, waiting for a train on a crowded platform, she sees him again. The tall figure. Unmistakable now. He's boarding a train heading somewhere completely unrelated to anywhere she's known. The feeling isn't just strange anymore. It's a cold knot of impossibility.
