Dear Friend,
I see you, bloody and drained, weary and empty. You say you've got nothing left, but I hope, one day, you can see the strength I know you've got in you. Do not forget your fire, do not forget your survival. Friend, you've come so far, and I don't want to see you loose this. And, don't worry about me. Everything is normal, everything is fine. I worry about nothing, because everything is fine.
Your Friend,
ANONYMOUS
That's always what we'd hope we'd see, or at least something like that. But no. It never came. No one cared about us, solely because we were different. 'You're so close, but I hope that you stop searching. I don't want you to foresee what I've become, so please stop looking.'
WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION
Seven letters, seven confessions, seven clues. Elliot Parker has what he needs to find out who killed his best friend... But is he hunting down the killer? Or is the killer hunting him?
*****
When Colton Crest returns, unharmed, to his small town after mysteriously disappearing for two months, his best friend Elliot Parker breathes a sigh of relief. But days later, on the night before graduation, Elliot finds Colton in the lake. Dead. And on the day of his funeral, Elliot finds a letter in his jacket pocket with four words that send him spiralling: I killed Colton Crest. There are six more letters to find, six more confessions about Colton, six more clues to uncover why he was murdered. Elliot has no choice but to play this sick scavenger hunt, and with each new revelation, he begins to question whether he really knew Colton - or anyone else in that little town of dark secrets.
