"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."
-Gilbert K. Chesterton

About 4.1% of people put to death are innocent, a, well, conservative figure. And Sebastian Gray seems to be convinced he's about to join this small percentile. Convicted of the murder of Tanya Tachibana, Sebastian has continually claimed his innocence for eight years, declaring the evidence produced from the crime scene was planted. Who would believe that?

Jeanette Humphrey, a reporter for her local newspaper in Caledonia County, Vermont, discovers Sebastian's story in a collection of dusty clippings high on a library shelf. Intrigued by his case, she pours over the entirety of it, from the testimonies to the tedious court transcripts, discovering a few peculiarities. Jeanette, fueled by an insatiable hunger for the truth, dives deeper and deeper into Sebastian's case, revealing facts forgotten by those who carelessly tossed him to the unforgiving abyss. 

Inspired by the radio show "Serial". All characters portrayed in this story are fictional. Any similarities to real people are completely coincidental.
