a collection of short stories from a small town which are half truth and half fiction to fill up the blanks.
which parts are truthful and which parts are lies, we will never really know, what we do know is, small towns have a way of making people feel like what you hear about them is all they can ever be, the truth is never as fun as the lie, the fiction, the fabricated and mangled parts of the story gets the spotlight. we know wildfire spreads fast, we know why rumours are rumours, but we never learn.
would this be enough to cause reasonable doubt? would this be enough for the gears to start turning? or will we still sit pretty with the comfortable lie? or will we choose to believe what comes out of a more influential set of lips?
all of this could be a lie, nobody would ever know. but you and I, we will always know.

Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us.

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut.
