Some wounds don't heal. Some souls don't leave. And some truths wait in silence.
After surviving a suicide attempt, Mara is referred to a quiet support group known only as AfterCare. The group meets every Tuesday night in a forgotten wing of the hospital. No sign-in. No paperwork. Just a circle of strangers who all seem to understand her too well.
But when one member suddenly disappears and no one will say why, Mara begins to question everything - her memories, her recovery, and whether she ever truly left that bathtub at all.
As the weeks pass and the veil lifts, Mara uncovers a haunting truth: AfterCare isn't about saving lives. It's about understanding what comes after.
A slow-burn psychological horror about grief, healing, and what waits in the quiet.

Afterlight
The world ended quietly. No fire. No warning. Just silence, and the long, slow unraveling of everything familiar. Mia has learned to survive in the ruins among rusted fences, forgotten classrooms, and cities swallowed by vines and ash. But survival isn't living.

In a world where trust can kill you and love is a liability, Mia finds herself drawn to something deeper than fear, more fragile than safety: connection. As she uncovers secrets buried beneath the cracked earth and broken sky, she'll have to decide what's worth holding onto when everything is already gone. Afterlight is a story of survival, grief, and the dangerous beauty of love in the quiet after the world ends.Complete
