Strange things are happening to strange people in the town of Grissom. Moody giant Parker Kingsley is suddenly becoming more and more concerned about the well-being of the sickly, enigmatic, infamous alleged murderer, Quilla Sanders, coincident with the consistently intensifying ache in his back and increasing intensity of deja vú and vengeful malice. For her part, Quilla Sanders has her plate full with her unwelcome, strangely specific prescience and the fetters of her past, but there's more to come. Her already strange dreams are becoming even stranger, often visited by a huge, winged, beautiful yet monstrous creature with glowing green eyes. And her classmate Parker Kingsley seems to know more about her than he should. As an insidious plan goes awry, blue clouds repeatedly cloak the sky, mysterious creatures begin to lurk in the shadows and Death himself comes face to face, the two teenagers - unwilling soldiers in a sinister war - must walk the thin line between the worldly and supernatural, all the while discovering that they aren't who they thought themselves to be.

In a quiet town wrapped in fog and secrets, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. When new blood enters a neighborhood already weighed down by silence, curiosity can become dangerous. Some doors are locked for a reason... and some truths are meant to stay buried. But for April, once she knocks-there's no turning back. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ April had always been curious about the new boy named Gregory, who had moved into her neighborhood. He was quiet, always alone, with a stare that seemed too heavy for someone his age. Rumors began to spread-whispers of screams in the night and strange symbols drawn in red near the woods. Due to him not showing up to school regularly and having been acting quite strange, April's curiosity turned into obsession. Her dreams became disturbed, filled with flickering shadows and haunting whispers that spoke his name. Unexplained disappearances and brutal attacks from a mysterious creature started happening. Victims were found torn apart-no trace of the attacker, only claw marks and eerie silence. And April happened to be stalked by something lurking through the shadows. She soon discovers and is surprised to see who it is. A face she trusted. Having a rare condition... one hidden for generations. To consume blood flesh. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ ⚠ Content Warning: strong language, blood/gore, graphic violence, alcohol use, attempt of suicide, SA, and frightening scenes ⚠ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · This story has a playlist **Listen on Spotify**
