After fleeing into the forest and injuring his ankle, Theodore takes refuge in an isolated house that shouldn't exist - a house that seems frozen in time. Its only occupant is Lucien, a man whose calm presence feels both comforting and unsettling. As Theodore recovers, the house slowly begins to change. Rooms repair themselves. Objects appear where they shouldn't. And memories Theodore doesn't recognize start surfacing in his dreams. Lucien has lived in the house for centuries. And Theodore has been here before. Some stories don't end when a life does. Please tell me what you think, also I may not Publish often as I am still in school.

After her mother's unexpected passing, Gemma is sent to live with a group of strange men who don't seem overly fond of her being there. Their secrets, their strange rules and behaviour make Gemma want to run; to hide, to go back in time to when everything felt safe again. But life doesn't always play the way's expected, and Gemma's life of before can only stay as that: in the past.
