    About this ebook

    Funerals are never easy, and this one is particularly difficult. These community events are the reason why the narrator left home, escaping to the city in the hopes he could forget his fears and past traumas. But now that he's returned to the secretive small town, where neighbours help one another with even the most difficult tasks, he's struggling to fit in and to connect with those around him. Worst of all, he's struggling to make it through the day as he can't help but think of what is being done to prepare for the gruesome burial to come.

    Stephanie Anne

    Hello, readers! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Stephanie Anne and I am an oddball extraordinaire. My writing assistants include my cats Minerva, Finn, and Bubs. Unfortunately, they like to sleep on the job. I have a love for all things strange and monstrous and I hope you do to. If you like disturbing horror stories and unsettling tales of science-fiction, you've come to the right place.

      The party was a failure. I can’t even tell you what a failure it was. There are no words. Only a great pain in my chest when I wake up. On the veranda. It’s better when I sit in the chair. Oh, but then I can see around. The gauzy curtains, pushed by

      My grandfather came to live with me. There was nowhere else for him to go. What had happened to all his children? Death, decay, exile—I hardly know. My own parents died of pain. But I must not be too gloomy, at the beginning, or you will leave me, an

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
