⸻ PART TWO: ECHOES The fracture is silent. The echoes are not. Something followed them out of the dark. It did not burn. It did not bleed. It learned. It learned their voices, their grief, their prayers whispered too late. It learned their faces. Shadows slip. Mirrors remember. The spiral returns, carved deeper each time. Joanie hums- and the world listens. What survived the fracture is no longer outside them. It moves through love. It waits inside silence. And it is answering back.

Only six passengers were on the manifest. But once the jet took off, there were seven. What starts as a smooth flight quickly turns into a waking nightmare when a strange creature-small, wide-eyed, and not entirely human-is discovered hiding onboard. His name is Ripley. And he isn't the only mystery in the sky. As a storm brews outside, something darker brews inside: flickering lights, eerie movements, and whispers of something far more dangerous than turbulence. Trapped miles above the ground, the passengers must uncover the truth behind the seventh seat... before it's too late.

As she digs deeper into the town's eerie past, Lena uncovers buried sins, ghostly apparitions, and a truth too horrifying to speak aloud. Bound by grief and driven by a need for answers, Lena must walk the line between the living and the dead - and learn that not every ghost wants to be forgotten. Some demand to be heard.

PART ONE: In the heart of the segregated 1900s, a white couple defies society's expectations by adopting two Black boys. Despite their love for each other, tragedy strikes in the form of a devastating car accident-one that alters their reality forever. PART TWO: (Purgatory) Caught in the space between life and death, each family member must navigate a nightmarish landscape filled with terrifying creatures and twisted trials. Their only hope of peace is to reunite and overcome the darkness together. Author's Message The color of our skin should never decide the weight of our worth. Beneath it all, we share the same pulse - one rhythm, one heart, one fragile, beautiful humanity. In a world painted with differences, kindness is the only language that never needs translation. We are all just souls trying to find peace, trying to love, trying to live. I began writing this because the word racism has always struck me like a wound - sharp, heavy, and undeserved. It's a word that carries too much pain for its size. It divides where there should be unity, it hurts where there should be healing. No one should ever feel less than human because of the shade of their skin. My grandmother taught me that love sees beyond color. She never measured people by appearance - only by their hearts. Every child, every adult, she treated with the same warmth, the same respect, the same unwavering truth. From her, I learned that real strength is gentle, and real justice begins with compassion. So I write for her. I write for those who were silenced, for those who have been seen only through the world's narrow lens. I write because love deserves louder voices than hate. And I hope that somewhere within these words, you remember what she taught me - that the heart knows no color, and humanity was never meant to be divided.
