Thehopefuldreamer Stories

Rory Volls is living in what could only be described as the best part of her life. Working on a new horror story while managing her book store, living with her sister and daughter, things could hardly get better. But what happens when Palmer, a childhood friend, shows up, bringing perhaps more problems? A mandatory check up doctor's appointment for her sister turns out to mean bad news, and her daughter may be having some problems of her own. What's more, strange books begin showing up in Rory's inventory, sending her on a trail of discovering things that may have been better left unknown.

Behind every picture there's a story, but do you know what it is? Smiling faces in a family portrait may really be a family with dark secrets and untold lies. A beautiful scenic lake may have dark creatures lurking beneath. Fifteen different stories are told for fifteen different pictures you will find, and the very last chapter will connect the different stories into one unique puzzle. What secrets rest behind your pictures?

A song I wrote for the hard times.
