The Sextons are a large ancient family who run and operate Sexton's Eternal Rest Burial Grounds. Unlike other cemeteries, Sexton's Eternal Rest resembles a forest filled with an assortment of trees from all over the world, the oldest of which house beautiful hand made treehouses. The deceased are buried in pods that feed nutrients to the tree planted atop them as they decompose. There have always been rumors that Sextons is "haunted" by the spirits of those that are buried there, and these rumors are true. It is also rumored that Nana, the Sexton family grandmother, communicates with these spirits. This rumor is also true, but she is not the only one.

Whispers of shadows
On the eve of her 19th birthday, Ivy is set to inherit a family heirloom shrouded in mystery and dread - a leather-bound book, that her mother and grandmother forbade her to touch. With a legacy built on superstition and the peculiar rituals of her lineage, Ivy finds herself caught between skepticism and an unquenchable curiosity. As she prepares for the sacred ceremony to claim her inheritance, strange occurrences unfold on her family's land, leading her to the unsettling discovery of two dead deer at a broken boundary. When her mother reveals the dark significance of this omen, Ivy is thrust into a world where spirits might be real, and the trappings of her family's past threaten to ensnare her in a web of ancient curses and sinister secrets. Now, as the veil between the known and the unknown begins to unravel, Ivy must confront the horrors concealed within the book and the fate that awaits her as the next Maiden in a lineage steeped in mystery. Will she uncover the truth before it's too late, or will the shadows of her ancestors consume her?
Oh! My D E A D (GxG, Lesbian)
"l'll tell you a secret" I said to my friend almost whispering, she leaned closer then looked at me interested. I sighed heavily before speaking. "I see dead people" I said truthfully but she just laughed out loud in return. "You're Crazy" she said tapping my forehead. "Am I?" I asked myself. I'm saying the truth, last time I remember I was drag racing and when I woke up I see dead people. Including the most beautiful girl, no I mean ghost and She's hugging me from my back while laughing as well. It's supposed to be freaking scary but how come I am enjoying it? "I must be really crazy" I mumbled to myself then sighed again heavily. "Yes you are" the ghost girl replied then poked my cheeks, Unfortunately I am the only one that can see her..
