Ruralgothic Stories

I went farther into Vermont's Northeast Kingdom to outrun my past. He arrived with secrets and shadows of his own. In a border town, the ghosts followed us anyway.

The Rural Arsonist For seven years, the FBI hunted her. Towns whispered her name. Forests carried her heat. But the girl who lit the fires - the one they called The Rural Arsonist - was never caught. Lucy Maddox didn't start the blaze. She was born in it, raised by a mother who believed fire was justice and that silence was survival. But when a new investigation reopens old burns, Lucy finds herself at the center of a reckoning she can't outrun - and doesn't want to. As agents close in and past sins crawl out of the ash, Lucy must decide whether to keep running, keep burning, or face the one woman who taught her everything: the mother who lit the first match. In a story laced with smoke, memory, and fury, The Rural Arsonist is a slow-burn thriller about legacy, violence, and the moment a girl decides her fire belongs to her - or to no one at all.

🦌 The Things He Sends🐦‍⬛ When Ghost's brother takes over the old family ranch in Chestnut Ridge, he disappears - until a crate shows up at base: packed with bourbon, strange photos, handcrafted blades, a forgotten book, and a beautifully made soft companion that was never meant for Ghost. The team watches as he unpacks it. One item at a time. What none of them know yet is this is only the first. Rural gothic. Found family. Haunted legacy. Soap talks to the dog. Rudy drinks the wine. Ghost remembers why he left. This is a big story what I mean by that is giant chapters ------- 📌 Author's Note (for readers): I've been thinking about this for a while. I write stories and never post them. I always come back to 141. I've written more fanfiction about them than anything else - all for myself. Never shared. This one felt different. So I'm posting it. Just to see how it does. Thanks for reading. I also might keep changing the name cause I'm not really happy with what I'm coming up with PS I've noticed that a lot of 141 fanfiction involving ghosts are usually romantic love stories at least on Wattpad well if you're looking for that, this is not it. This is more comforting, then romantic. Also, this may be a little more fantasy and I'm I know it's fantasy but my name is there may be some "interesting" horses that show up at the ranch eventually, you'll know what I mean when it happens.
