New Story:
synopsis
When human remains are unearthed in the woods outside Blackwood, a long-forgotten missing persons case resurfaces—and with it, a truth the town was never meant to face.
Hannah Pierce knows this before anyone else.
Fifteen years ago, she was there the night Emily Carter disappeared. She remembers the forest breathing around them, the fear that stole her voice, and the moment she ran—carrying a secret no one ever asked her to tell.
She remembers everything.
Returning to Blackwood means stepping back into a town built on quiet loyalty and unspoken rules. Here, people protect their own. They remember what you did—even when they pretend not to. And they know when you’re hiding something.
What Hannah doesn’t expect is the growing certainty that someone else remembers that night too.
As the investigation reopens, old glances sharpen, silences grow heavier, and the forest begins to feel closer than it should. In Blackwood, the truth doesn’t destroy you outright.
It waits.
And what finally breaks you isn’t what happened fifteen years ago—
It’s the secret you chose to live with.
Title: Evidence of Silence
