drama investigation life mystery sci-fi thriller

This story follows Maia Lockhart, a young woman struggling with her own dark, fractured memories as she investigates the disappearances of people in the seemingly quiet town of Hillstone. As Maia delves deeper, she uncovers a chilling truth: a mysterious man has been stalking the town for years, and the disappearances are connected to her own past. Maia begins to remember that she was once a victim, but survived because the killer forced her to drink a memory-erasing drug, "Amnexol", designed to wipe her trauma-and the killer's identity-from her mind. Now, her past is unraveling, and her quest for answers brings her closer to the danger she narrowly escaped.

With the help of Levi Greystone, a reserved but deeply compassionate journalist with his own scars, Maia begins to connect the dots, facing not only a growing threat but also the truths about her past, her family, and the town's darkest secrets.All Rights Reserved

Whispered Shadows by Laconie1975

Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.
