The Witness Remains
Some debts come from the bottle. Some come from the dead.
The story
Franklin Dane Taylor is one hundred days sober and estranged from everyone he loves when his mother is found dead inside Stone Manor — the house he swore he'd never set foot in again. A warrant for his arrest sends him home anyway, back into old ghosts he thought he'd outrun.
But Stone Manor has never been empty. Something has lived inside its walls for over a century, and Franklin's family has spent generations keeping it contained. As a blood moon eclipse counts down toward a ritual meant to finish what began generations ago, Franklin finds himself fighting two wars at once — one against the thing waking up in the house, and one against Other Me, the voice of his addiction, which has never stopped waiting for him to fail.
Some debts come from the bottle. Some come from the dead. Before the eclipse passes, Franklin will have to pay both.
