Shadows That Speak
"I thought the danger was in my mind... until the blood on the walls proved otherwise."
Carla’s life is spiraling. Nightmares haunt her nights, and eerie messages stalk her days. The walls of her apartment whisper secrets, and every shadow seems to carry a threat. The police say the culprit is James—a man she painted as violent in the past—but why can’t she shake the feeling that something even darker is at play?
As Carla pieces together fragments of her fractured memories, she’s forced to confront the unthinkable: what if the real danger isn’t someone breaking in but someone breaking out?
With her friends Rose and Ella pulling her in different directions, and Detective Reilly uncovering truths that don’t add up, Carla’s world becomes a maze of lies, blood, and betrayal.
The question isn’t just who’s after her?
It’s why does she feel like she already knows the answer?
