Brye Shattered

Four years ago, then seventeen-year-old Brye Sutton lived a privileged life. Her father was the mayor of Camden Hills, Connecticut and her mother was the overprotective parent, putting her family’s needs before her own, except when it came to Brye’s choice of friends or her decision to date the son of the town drunk. Then their relationship became volatile.

On a cold night in late November, screams emanated from 2395 Sycamore Street, alerting neighbors of the slaughter taking place inside.
Now Brye is twenty-one and walking the streets of Camden Hills once again. Even though she has no recollection of the events of that fateful night, she’s confident she is able to put the tragedy behind her, she takes her Aunt and Uncle’s advice and enrolls in classes at the local Community College. She has no illusions that most of the residents still believe she is the murderer, but remains undaunted by their snide comments and evil glares. That is until her dearly departed loved ones have her questioning whether or not she could have actually done the unthinkable and ruthlessly butchered them. As their visits become more frequent, Brye’s grip with reality is tested. Are the apparitions real, or are they just hallucinations conjured up by an unstable mind? As she questions her own part in the slayings, it dawns on her that the killer is still out there and could very well be coming after her. Innuendo and paranoia ensue as she becomes increasingly unsure who she can trust in the pursuit of finding the murderer.
