A Psychological Thriller Short Story

After almost twenty years, Mary Ellen’s return to her hometown is like entering a surreal and haunting nightmare. She had thought she left this all behind for good. The reason for her return? Her father’s funeral. But this trip back is more than just grieving and receiving condolences - it’s a reckoning with the ghosts of a past she worked hard to forget.

Merrily, her sister, known for her wild nature, seems even crazier than Mary Ellen remembers.

If not more.

Her quirks have grown more pronounced, giving Mary Ellen a glimpse into a mind seemingly on the verge of unraveling.

As Mary Ellen navigates the familiar yet alien corridors of our childhood home, she realizes that Merrily’s oddities might be the key to the very secrets she escaped all those years ago.
