Dark Illusion

By Jay Seate

Sam Collier laments about having lost his wife to cancer and his son to college. He dabbles with photography, keeping his mind occupied, until strange things begin to happen. Objects move and reconfigure. His photography changes in ways that can’t be explained. A young woman, Sara, comes into Sam’s life. Her peculiarities are both a turn-on and a dilemma. As he seeks outside advice, his and Sara’s relationship deepens to the point that she is the catalyst in his life. While enduring her mysterious ways, he can’t ignore the escalation of bizarre events that eventually snare both his friend and his son. Questioning his own sanity, Sam finally confronts the girl who has become his lover and confidant, then tries to hang on to what is left of his reality, as his vision of the universe must change. The desires of raging spirits are not easily satisfied.
