"Hush little baby, don't you cry..." It all starts with a lullaby and a house.
Kayla and Philip are a modern-day young couple in love. They have financial security, a house, and baby on the way. Nothing could go wrong until a creepy event sends Kayla into labor and then it's all down-hill.
Flash-back to the past and you have Carmen and Michael. They too were a couple in love but they had social stigmas, PTSD, and something dark working against them.
What does a house, two couples, and a lullaby have in common? Something or someone wicked.

Shards of Kairos
'There's something beyond the mirrors...' She should probably be choosing her majors for college, considering a career, and the direction for the rest of her life. Instead - she's still working at the small town coffee shop where she got her first job. And while commuting from a bigger city to the much smaller town of Briarsfield where she grew up is a pain, Evie likes the stability. The normalcy. Because the dreams or nightmares that Evie had started having a little over a year ago now are anything but normal. Dreams of an endless void of fog. They've persisted and refused to leave her alone now for months. And Evie is haunted by the chilling feeling that she is not alone in the fog. But when the fog suddenly becomes real, weather completely uncommon for Briarsfield at this time of year, Evie wakes up to a sensation of dread. And that something is very different. And very wrong. That something has changed and she's been suddenly put at the epicenter. At the precipice of something life altering. Or world ending.Complete
