    Usually, after-work suggestions from coworkers mean drinks and karaoke, both of which Opal normally declines in favor of a good nap. Finding herself in a creaky house surrounded by candles and spiderwebs? That should have been her first red flag. The ghost of the house realizes someone can finally see her and suddenly promises are being made to help a sister move on. The sister? A cop with her own vendetta. Opal is dragged into a cold case for a ghost she'd rather not be able to see because apparently, normal life was too much to ask for. Between late nights, dark corners, and dusty old documents Opal finds herself talking to the dead whether she likes it or not. Either they'll find the answers, or they'll be adding to the ghostly population.

Each detail waiting to be interpreted by someone trained to listen to what the living overlook. As more bodies surface, patterns begin to form. Injuries repeat. Mistakes dont. Whoever is responsible understands anatomy. restraint, and silence. Death is not chaotic here. It is intentional. This is not a story about heroes or closure. It is about precision. About evidence. About what violence leaves behind. And about the truth the body keeps long after the breath is gone. ⚠️ Content Warning: Graphic forensic detail, disturbing themes, realistic depcitions of death. Reader discretion advised. ⚠️
