True crime stories reimagined

(by Wiley James)

12 true crimes. 12 new outcomes.

In Alternate Endings, each story begins in tragedy but takes a turn at the precise moment when everything could have been different. Victims find their courage. Fate tips the scales. The universe delivers justice in ways our reality denied.

Through these reimagined accounts, Wiley James reveals not only the satisfaction of seeing the tables turned, but the deeper moment — when the perpetrator realizes too late that their control has slipped away.

At the end of each tale, you’ll discover what really happened in our world. But perhaps, in some parallel universe, the version you just read is the story that’s true. And even if we can’t rewrite the past, maybe engaging with these imaginings helps us alter the future.

“The moment she stopped running, the fear began to pivot. She wasn’t prey anymore. He saw it too, too late. The world had tilted.”

We cannot rewrite the past. But exploring alternate endings invites us to imagine futures where courage and compassion can still change the outcome. These stories are more than fiction, they’re a way of honoring those who had no voice, while inspiring strength in those who remain.
