"So its true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love." - E. A. Bucchianeri, "Brushstrokes of a Gadfly" Cassie knows grief. It sleeps in bed next to her in the space where her heart used to lay. It haunts her every step like a shadow creature hoping to get close enough to devour her. It creeps into the dark recesses of her mind and stains every happy memory she's ever had. She's spent the better part of three years trying to claw her way out of the hole grief put her in. Her grief is a thing of beauty that strips her bare and forces roses from her fingertips, forms words on a screen, presses ink into paper. When Cassie struggles to maintain the barest of grasps on her sanity as the world shuts down, help comes from an unexpected source in the form of a new friend. What will happen when two people find themselves locked down in a house in the Irish countryside whilst the world burns around them? Will they dance in the flames or dissolve into ash?
