Among the Living
Eric should have never answered the phone. He knew it was his brother, or his mother — they were the only ones who ever called. But Marie’s fingertips on his back were gently insistent, urging him to answer...
And so begins Eric’s journey back into his past, where memory is as unreliable as the ghosts who walk there, insisting that they are the real ones.
