Chapter 1

The day my husband, Landon Warren, came home, my daughter, Lucia Warren, and I waited at the door for three hours with flowers. The moment his car came to a stop, she was the first to rush over. "Daddy!"Landon, however, paused for a moment when he climbed out. He didn't pull Lucia into his arms, nor did he look at me. He stood beside the car door, gazing up at the sky. The clouds hung low on that overcast day, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. Yet, he stared at it for a long while.After the staff member reminded him, he lowered his head and asked me, "What day is it?"I was caught off guard. "It's the first of the month. Why?"His lips parted slightly, and his shoulders slowly relaxed. "It's nothing. I only have to wait for 14 days."I didn't follow. When I tried to ask him again, he'd already taken Lucia by the hand and led her inside. I made all his favorite dishes for our first meal together. Lucia was so excited she could barely sit still. While piling food onto his

This was the first time Landon had brought up his mission on his own since he returned. I pressed him on what the moon spirit looked like. He blanched. "Don't ask." "What exactly did you see, Landon?""I told you to drop it!" he bellowed. I was startled. Lucia poked her head out of her room, too. The moment he saw her, he went silent. He balled his hands into fists, turned around, and retreated to our bedroom. His agency had warned me that he'd exhibited mild stress reactions after returning from his mission and advised me to spend more time with him. I worked in the space program too, so I knew that prolonged missions in confined environments could affect one's mental health. Hence, I chalked up his claim of seeing the moon spirit to a hallucination caused by the extreme environment he'd been in.However, after dinner, Landon suddenly brought out several rolls of black fabric. He sealed up all the windows in the house, and he didn't even spare the palm-sized vent in the ba

I yanked the black fabric aside. It was pitch black outside, save for a handful of streetlights. Yet, the white light that had landed on her face earlier was cold and glaring. I lowered my head to inspect her hands. Her fingers were scraped raw, and the crevices under her fingernails were filled with black fabric fibers. "Does it hurt?" Lucia looked at me blankly. "Why am I here, Mommy?""Do you not remember?"She shook her head.I pointed at the hole in the black fabric. "You scraped this through."Lucia looked at her own hands before tearing up. "I didn't." "Earlier, you told me you wanted to see the moon spirit." Lucia stiffened for a moment before tilting her head up. "In that case, did I see her?" There was an unmistakable note of anticipation in her voice. My chest tightened. "No." The bedroom door suddenly swung open. Landon stood barefoot in the hallway with a small knife in his hand. The moment he saw the hole in the black fabric, all the color drained from

In the dozen days that followed, Landon gradually returned to normal. During the day, he would drop Lucia off at school and keep her company while she drew. At night, he would still check every single piece of black fabric.Occasionally, when I woke in the middle of the night, I'd find him beside the bed with a knife in his hand. The moment I opened my eyes, he'd turn and leave without a word.…On the afternoon of the 15th day, I found Caleb at the address listed in the files. He lived in an old residential complex on the outskirts of the city. When he heard my name, he gripped the doorframe and refused to let me in. "I'm retired. I don't remember anything about what happened back then." I held my phone out to him. The screen displayed the file numbers of all 11 cases.Caleb took one look at it and averted his gaze. "Their conditions were all stress reactions following their missions. There was no other explanation." "My husband also returned from the far side of the moon."

Landon's hand jolted violently. "What do you get?"I kept my eyes on the knife pressed against my chest. "Is killing me the only way you can attain immortality?" It clattered to the ground. Landon stumbled backward and sank to his knees beside the bed. "No… I'm not trying to kill you."He clutched his hair as tears streamed down his face. "She just wants to borrow your body. You won't be in pain for long, Sylvia. She promised me!"My stomach churned. "What about me, then? If she takes my body, where am I supposed to go?" He parted his lips, yet he couldn't find his voice.I sneered. "Did she not tell you, or did you not bother to ask?" Landon shook his head frantically. "I genuinely had no choice. When I saw her on the moon, she showed me what would happen to me. I'd age, fall ill, and eventually become so weak I couldn't even get out of bed. Lucia would grow up, and you'd grow old, too. "Both of you would sit by my bedside, watching me rot away. I couldn't accept it, Syl

I shielded Lucia behind me and slowly backed toward the window. Landon stood at the doorway, holding his knife horizontally. "Listen to me, Landon.""Don't call me that." His eyes were bloodshot. "Every time you call my name, I can't bring myself to do it." I stared at him. "Were the 11 men before me just like you?" Landon stopped in his tracks. "Did they also cry and apologize before handing their own wives over with their own hands?" "Shut up!""Did they attain immortality?"The muscles on his face twitched. I knew I had hit the mark. "Two decades have passed. Has the moon spirit ever fulfilled her promise?" "I told you to shut up!" He swung his knife at the headboard. The blade hacked into the wood, and Lucia burst into tears. Landon panted heavily. "They failed. Their wives wouldn't listen, and in the end, they couldn't bring themselves to do it. I'm different from them!" I followed his line of reasoning and asked, "Because you can kill me?" His lips quiv

The pounding on the door continued, one deafening blow after another. The elation on Landon's face instantly turned to terror. He pulled out the knife, and blood spurted from my shoulder. Black spots swam before my eyes, but I clung desperately to his pant leg. "Run, Lucia!"Lucia had just gotten to her feet when Landon seized her in a vice-like grip. He pressed the tip of the knife against our daughter's neck. "Stay back! If any of you set foot inside, I'll kill her!"The pounding on the door stopped. "Let the girl go, Landon." The police officer outside softened his tone. "You can tell us what you want.""Get back, all of you!" Landon dragged Lucia back toward the window. Lucia trembled all over, but she bit her lip down hard. I clutched my wound and rose to my feet. "I'm the one you want, Landon. Lucia has nothing to do with this." The woman's voice sounded again in the hallway. "She's stalling for time. Kill her!" Landon shuddered. The edge of the knife drew a thin s

Lucia let go of my hand. "You're not my Mommy." I wanted to tell her that I was her Mommy. Yet, my mouth wouldn't obey me. "Of course, I am." I reached out to caress her face. "From now on, I'll never grow old, and I'll never leave you." Lucia stumbled backward, knocking over a chair. Caleb rushed into the hospital room and shielded her behind him. "Sylvia, can you hear me?" I looked at him and smiled faintly. "You've aged."Caleb stiffened. "Two decades ago, you had the courage to look me in the eye. Why can't you do it now?" That wasn't my voice, yet every word came out of my mouth. I was trapped inside my own body. I could see Lucia crying, but I couldn't move a single finger. The woman chuckled inside my mind. "Give up. Hand your body over to me, and I'll take care of your daughter in your place."I hurled myself against the icy wall separating me from my consciousness. Each time I struck it, it felt as though my mind was being ripped apart. However, she showed

Lucia didn't budge. Her gaze shifted from the plea that had been wiped away to my face. "Are you really my Mommy?" The corners of my mouth slowly lifted. "Silly girl, of course I am." "In that case, do you remember when we went to the aquarium to see the dolphins for my fifth birthday?" The woman inside my head chuckled. Using my voice, she answered, "Of course, I remember. You even threw a tantrum because you wanted to bring the dolphin home." Lucia's tears immediately spilled over. "You're lying. I had a high fever on my fifth birthday. We didn't go anywhere." She pounded on the glass. "You're not my Mommy! Give me my Mommy back!" Her words pierced my consciousness like needles. I repeatedly hurled myself against the icy wall with all my strength. The excruciating pain felt as though it was splitting my skull in two. At last, I reclaimed my voice. "Lucia." I pressed my forehead against the glass. "Don't open the door. Stay away from me!" Lucia nodded, weeping.Ca

Chapter 10

Landon's hand stiffened against the glass. "What did you just say?"The moon spirit toyed with the lunar dust crystals. Her smile widened. "Don't you understand? It was all a lie."Landon hurled his body against the glass wall. "You lied to me… You gave me your word! I handed Sylvia over to you. I even gave up my own family!" "You did that of your own free will," the moon spirit answered softly through my lips. "I only asked if you wanted to live forever. You were the one who fell to your knees and begged me to take your wife." Landon shook his head frantically. "That's impossible. What about the others? They've been alive for 20 years!" "They merely existed." The moon spirit chuckled. "Their wives are gone, and they never attained immortality. If they admitted they'd been deceived, wouldn't everything they'd done become a joke? So, they helped me conceal the truth, waiting for the next person to go to the moon so they could fool themselves all over again. Landon, you're just a
