Withered Rose

Strange. Outcast. Quiet. Kind. These are some words used to describe twelve year old Rosetta Stem. She's not exactly normal, with her weird habits. Then there's the fact that no one likes her. Save for her sister and best/only friend, Sophie. Everyday was the same for her. Be ridiculed at school, come home to an empty house, and avoid her Dad at all costs. It was something she was used to.

Then the day comes. That one house. We all have it, the town's "haunted" house. Rose loves it, her dreams house. The day someone moves in, her world comes crumbling down.

What secrets did her Mother, the same one that has been gone for the past twelve years, have? All I can tell you is that Rose wishes she had never let go of that that blood red flower that day...
