The One Who Was There

The One Who Was There

"Speak your truth, and you are free."

She has always been the disappointment.
The difficult daughter.
The reckless one.
The girl her parents stopped trying to understand long ago.
But her younger brother still believes in her.
Desperate to give him a chance at a better life, she enters an online challenge promising an enormous reward to anyone who can escape...

Four rooms.
Four players.
One way out.

All she has to do is play the game.
But the rooms are not what they seem. The questions become more personal. The memories more disturbing. And the face staring back at her knows things no stranger should ever know.

Something is wrong.
Something has been wrong for a very long time.

And the deeper she goes, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between what she remembers, what she fears, and what actually happened.

Because some truths are buried for a reason.
And some people were never supposed to be remembered.

What if the only way out is to face the one person you've spent your entire life running from?
....

A psychological horror novella about family, memory, buried truths, and the terrifying things we hide from ourselves.
