We Were Never There

Summary:

In the tranquil stillness of a cemetery, where the past rests in eternal slumber and the living seek solace among the tombstones, a young girl named Lilah finds herself navigating the labyrinth of her own emotions in the most unusual setting after the loss of her mother. Living in a cemetery does not cause fear in Lilah. She knows the dead can't hurt her. Like her mother used to say, "It is the living who we should be afraid of."

For as long as she can remember, Lilah and her father have called this peaceful graveyard their home, and, strangely, nothing out of the ordinary has ever occurred in their secluded haven. That is, until the arrival of a new family, tenants of the quaint guest house nestled within the cemetery's shadowed trail.

With the arrival of these strangers, a confusing undercurrent begins to ripple through Lilah's life, and the sanctuary of her home becomes tinged with inexplicable disturbances. Eerie whispers dance on the night breeze, and strange figures flit at the periphery of her vision.

It all started when she saw him-a pale, lanky teenage boy that disappears every time she tries to get close and talk to him.

Haunted by the sudden upheaval in her quiet existence, Lilah's curiosity intertwines with her growing unease. Boredom becomes a catalyst for her quest for answers, as she ventures deeper into the mysteries that shroud her world.

Determined to unravel the enigma of the inexplicable phenomena, Lilah sets out to uncover dark secrets buried beneath the tombstones and confront the chilling truth she's refusing to accept.

After all, there are no such things as ghosts.
