My entry for the #homebeforedarkcontest I published this book twice on this account, and another one. This account cannot win the contest, so, this copy is just for reading. My other account, ScarlettATracy, does have a shot at winning this contest, so, please read this book over there if you want to help out by getting my short story to the top of the list! Have you ever wondered what it's like to die? Have you ever wondered what comes after death? Scarlett Baker was only 14 when she was tragically killed in a robbery.
