Somewhere in the Dark

There are much worse things than dying.

Growing up, I had always expected to find my escape outside of that trailer. Away from the screams that echo through the halls, away from the covered up bruises and hollow apologies. But life had other plans, dragging me back into the nightmare of my childhood home. And now I find myself torn between keeping my mother safe from the monster who haunts the house and finding freedom in the arms of a long lost childhood friend who is fighting his own ghosts.
My name is Nova Harper, and I promise you there are much worse things than dying.
