Fading in a Hade

By Granthana Sinha

Adele Garvey might be the only one to notice the absence of the silver-haired, bespectacled Pascal Lamar. But skipping a café for a day doesn’t seem that significant. Not until she begins to realize that the old man's absence isn’t the only thing odd around her. Will Adele be able to clutch on to the last fragments of her sanity as her reality slowly starts to obliterate before her eyes?
