For years, decades, perhaps longer than anyone living could remember. It stood at the edge of the forest, shrouded in tangled ivy and the weight of forgotten years, its walls swollen with secrets. Some places are simply abandoned, left to decay in silence. But others—others are forsaken, left behind not by choice but by necessity. Ashwood House was the latter.
Mark Sullivan never thought he’d return here. Neither did his sister, Claire. Yet, in the wake of their mother’s passing, duty called them back to the place they had spent their childhood summers—the place where something had changed their family forever. It had been a house full of love once, filled with the scent of old books and their grandmother’s lavender perfume. But that warmth had long since faded, swallowed by whispers in the walls and shadows that stretched too long in the night.
For years, it stood in silence, its walls swollen with secrets, its halls thick with shadows. Mark and Claire Sullivan never planned to return, but after their mother’s death, they had no choice. Ashwood House was their inheritance—a place of childhood memories, long buried under dust and something darker.
Now, as they step across the threshold, the air is heavy with something unseen. The past lingers here, whispering in the walls, watching from the corners. And it has been waiting for them.
