Signs of a stalker soon become evident and Laural finds she has nowhere to turn. Her only contact with the locals are the people she works with at an area hospital where she is an emergency room nurse and a stranger she meets while hiking near her house. Even the sheriff and the veterinarian seem to show up at odd times, leaving her with no one to trust and with time running out.

Wind howls like a warning, rain whispers secrets against the windows, and the cold nights stretch longer than they should. Even the brightest days begin to dim, as if the sun itself is retreating from something unspeakable. And it's not just the daylight that fades; truth itself begins to rot, sinking slowly into the shadows, buried beneath layers of silence and fear.

A nightmare she cannot wake from. A truth she may never survive. Now, she turns to you, the reader, not for help, but for company. She dares you to follow her into the dark. But be warned... once you see what she has seen, there is no going back. Brace yourself. The truth doesn't just hide. It haunts.
