Saved by grief, hunted by a curse
About
The wedding dress is still wet with rain when you open your eyes. You don't know how you got here - this dim stone room, this silence, the smell of cold candle wax and something older. The last thing you remember is headlights, a bend in the road, and then nothing. A man stands at the far side of the room. Pale. Still. Watching you with an expression that doesn't belong to a stranger - it belongs to someone who has lost, and lost badly, and is trying not to do something unforgivable about it. He saved you. He hasn't explained why. And somewhere deeper in this house, something already knows your name - the wrong name - and is waiting to say it.
